Terrifier director teases role for WWE legend in gruesome horror franchise
Terrifier 4 director Damien Leone has teased that a WWE legend could be popping up in the upcoming horror sequel. The fourth and final instalment of the creepy franchise is currently in the works, and will pick up where last year's scare-fest left off – with Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) terrorizing Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera) and her loved ones once again. Fans have been desperate for more from the serial killer and it turns out that Rhea Ripley is right there with them, having shared her hopes that she could become one of his on-screen victims. During a recent interview with YouTuber Chris Van Vliet, the 28-year-old declared: 'Oh, I would love that. I want to be in Terrifier [4] so badly. 'It's the last one, Damien said that this is going to be the last one. Yeah. Kill me. Kill me, I don't care.' Emphasizing her love for the franchise, Rhea also shared her excitement at possibly meeting David, the man behind Art the Clown, but feared that she would be 'too annoying' and fan girl over him. 'David, good old Art the Clown, I want to meet him so bad. I'm just waiting for that day,' she continued. 'I've been trying to get him to come watch WWE, and it's just like our schedules just don't line up. 'But one day I will meet him, and I hope that I'm not too annoying. I really hope I'm not too annoying. I love my fans, but I really hope that they haven't made my name stale to him. 'He's probably heard it over and over and over again, 'Do you know Rhea Ripley?' He's like, 'Yes, I know Rhea Ripley.' So I'm excited to meet him one day.' Responding to her comments on Twitter, filmmaker Damien suggested she could meet her hero very soon on set. He simply said: 'The wheels are turning @RheaRipley_WWE.'

The third instalment was released in US cinemas at the end of 2024, with cinemas issuing warnings to ticket-holders over the seriously grim scenes – amid reports of some viewers vomiting or walking out. Rhea wouldn't be the first star from the wrestling world to appear in the Terrifier franchise if she does land a role, as Chris Jericho has already claimed that title. He briefly popped up in Terrifier 2, before Art killed him in last year's sequel. Other details for the movie are tightly under wraps but Damien previously shed light on what we can expect, promising: 'The script for Terrifier 4 is in the works and it's shaping up to be a most epic, thrilling, nasty, horrifying, emotional and utterly satisfying conclusion.' More Trending Appearing at Texas Frightmare Weekend, he later declared: 'I know this word gets used a lot, but it's going to be epic, it's not going to disappoint.

Damien Leone set to cast WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley in Terrifier 4
WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley is set for a role in Terrifier 4, director Damien Leone has teased. The 28-year-old wrestler has been very vocal about her love of the slasher franchise, which follows demonic killer Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) and his thirst for blood. Rhea has admitted she would do anything for a role in the fourth and final film, and is more than happy to be one of Art's victims. In an interview with YouTuber Chris Van Vliet, she said: "Oh, I would love that. I want to be in Terrifier [4] so badly. It's the last one, Damian said that this is going to be the last one. Yeah. Kill me. Kill me, I don't care.' Franchise creator Damien saw Rhea's comments and responded to her wish on his X account. He posted: "The wheels are turning @RheaRipley_WWE " Elsewhere in her interview, Rhea spoke to Chris Van Vliet about how she is desperate to meet Art the Clown actor David, 45, and she just hopes she doesn't become "too annoying" as a super-fan of the franchise. She said: "David [Howard Thornton], good old Art the Clown, I want to meet him so bad. I'm just waiting for that day. "I've been trying to get him to come watch WWE, and it's just like our schedules just don't line up. But one day I will meet him, and I hope that I'm not too annoying. I really hope I'm not too annoying. I love my fans, but I really hope that they haven't made my name stale to him, because he's probably heard it over and over and over again, 'Do you know Rhea Ripley?' He's like, 'Yes, I know Rhea Ripley.' So I'm excited to meet him one day.' If Damien does create a role for Rhea in Terrifier 4 she won't be the first wrestler to land a cameo in the splatter-fest series. AEW grappler Chris Jericho - who previously wrestled in WWE for several years - played a nurse in Terrifier 3 who meets a bloody end at the hands of Art the Clown. Chris - who was first scene briefly in a mid-credits scene at the end of Terrifier 2 - said in a previous conversation with JoBlo Celebrity Interviews: "I was a big fan of the first movie. We discovered it on the Fozzy tour bus, and I was the first person that I knew was talking about it. So I was going on Talk is Jericho, my podcast, and letting everybody know about this movie that you have to see because I have a big horror fan contingency for the show. Then I did a Comic-Con horror con, I guess, where David was there and he was on Talk Is Jericho. That's kind of how it all started. I was like, 'You guys got to watch this movie, Terrifier this, Terrifier that.' "I'd like to think that I was part of the grassroots movement to turn people onto this film, and then, once it became kind of a talked about cult hit when Damien started talking about doing part two, he asked me if I wanted to be involved, and I was like, of course. Just tell me what time and what mental institution in Staten Island I have to be at.' Terrifier 4 will see Lauren LaVera reprise her role as Sienna Shaw for her final battle with Art the Clown.

'It's just constant tension': Damien Leone doesn't find movies fun to make
Damien Leone doesn't think filmmaking is "fun". The 41-year-old filmmaker has enjoyed success with his slasher franchise 'Terrifier' and explained that the process of getting a movie onto the big screen is a lot less glamorous than people think. Speaking on the 'Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum' podcast, Damien said: "Movies aren't fun to make. People think you're having the time of your life. "It is hard work. It is constant pressure. You don't want anybody to feel bad, but it's just constant tension." Damien's movie 'Terrifier 3' caused a stir with its violence when it was released last year and the director explained that he frequently argued with producer Phil Falcone during the making of the flick – which had greater funding after the success of 'Terrifier 2' in 2022. The 'All Hallows' Eve' filmmaker said: "We were on the phone arguing all day long. It was not a fun experience making part three just because of so many other external factors. So much more pressure, so much more money." Damien explained that he is planning to bring the 'Terrifier' series to an end after the fourth movie and revealed that he has plenty of other projects in the pipeline that he could make in the meantime, although he will only board a film if he can have a hand in the writing process. He said: "I have so many original ideas. There's a bunch of potential projects. If one of these other projects is ready to happen and that'll take me away from 'Terrifier 4' I'll do it. "All of these potential movies would involve me at least co-writing, because it's really how you shape some of these things." Damien doesn't have a "strict formula" when it comes to writing scripts but does seek to put in key ideas that he has dreamed up. Asked if he skips to the horror element when it comes to penning scripts, he said: "Not necessarily. I also don't write in a linear way so if I feel like writing the ending, I'll write the ending. I have all the ideas on my phone that I know I have to weave into the story somehow if I'm in love with that set piece. "There's no strict rule or formula in terms of how I write the script. I bounce all over the place." Leone accepts that the 'Terrifier' franchise is likely to be the creation he has best remembered for. He said: "It's certainly lightning in a bottle. I'm not delusional, there's a great, great, great chance that when I die I'll be known as the creator of Art the Clown."
