We now know<em> Terrifier 4<\/em> will take place \u201caround New Year\u2019s Eve,\u201d according to an Instagram post from director Damien Leone.<\/p>\n<p>While fans would love some story details beyond the few teases Leone has given so far\u2014he\u2019s said the movie will be \u201cepic, thrilling, nasty, horrifying, emotional, and utterly satisfying\u201d and will also reveal an origin story for Art (David Howard Thornton)\u2014that timeframe is indeed intriguing. <em>Terrifier 3<\/em> was very wrapped up in Christmas and ended on a cliffhanger; it would make sense for <em>Terrifier 4<\/em> to pick up right there and follow Sienna (Lauren LaVera) on a rescue mission to save her young cousin, Gabby (Antonella Rose), from the fires of hell. That would bring us to New Year\u2019s Eve pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p>However, that would be a shift from previous <em>Terrifier<\/em> movies, which have all baked a certain passage of time into their connected plots. Part one began with Victoria (Samantha Scaffidi), one year removed from her Art ordeal, then rewound to show us exactly what happened to her. Part two picked up a year after that and introduced Sienna into the narrative; part three then picked up with Sienna <em>five<\/em> years later.<\/p>\n<p>Once we start learning more about <em>Terrifier 4<\/em>, we\u2019ll surely get a better idea if it\u2019ll be New Year\u2019s Eve occurring right after <em>Terrifier 3<\/em> or if it will jump ahead like the other franchise entries.<\/p>\n<p>What we <em>can<\/em> already anticipate is that <em>Terrifier 4<\/em> will be a solid addition to the New Year\u2019s Eve horror subgenre\u2014it\u2019s not as robust as the Christmas horror subgenre, but slasher maniacs do love a good holiday setting. We\u2019ll be looking forward to a mini-festival with <em>New Year\u2019s Evil<\/em>, <em>Bloody New Year<\/em>, <em>Terror Train<\/em>, and whatever Art brings to the party in <em>Terrifier 4<\/em> sometime in the future.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Want more io9 news?
