Back in 2013, Damian Leone introduced the world to Art the Clown in the film All Hallows’ Eve, and the character was subsequently given his own spinoff in the gory Terrifier. In the film, a maniacal clown (Art) terrorizes three young women on Halloween night (and everyone else who stands in his way), and it earned rave reviews from gore-hounds in particular.

We recently learned that Leone had written and was planning to make Terrifier 2, and an update from the film’s official Facebook today announces that it’s officially happening!

In the upcoming sequel:

After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to Miles County where he must hunt down and destroy a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween.

Here’s the full update from Leone today:

“Thank you all very much for your patience! We are thrilled to finally announce that Terrifier 2 is funded and slated to begin filming in the fall of this year! Our production company Dark Age Cinema is producing one again which means the inmates are still running the asylum. We are unchained and unrestricted, so rest assured, Terrifier 2 will be the merciless, no holds barred follow-up you’ve been hoping for. If you thought we pushed the envelope in part 1…you haven’t seen anything yet.”
