Terrifier 3 viewers stunned by celebrity cameo who suffers horrific fate in movie
There's a smorgasbord of blood and gore in Terrifier 3 which will turn your stomach, but for a lot of viewers, there's one scene in particular which has really stuck in their minds.
Partly because it's particularly gruesome, but also due to the fact it's a celebrity who gets really roughed up by the villainous Art the Clown while they're making a cameo in the chilling slasher film.
If you haven't plucked up the courage to go and catch Damien Leone's threequel yet, just be aware that you're about to read the horrific fate of a certain star, who had a grim ending after facing off with the miming murderer.
In other words - a few spoilers are about to follow.

Take a look at the trailer for Terrifier 3 here:
So, let's quickly bring you up to speed - Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera) is back once again to face off against Art the Clown after he terrifyingly came back from the dead in Terrifier 2.
If you didn't stick around to catch the sneaky mid-credits scene which was slipped in the 2022 sequel, you might have missed the part where Victoria Heyes (Samantha Scaffidi) horrifically gave birth to his living head.
Which means, you also didn't get introduced to the staff caring for her at the Miles County's psychiatric hospital - AKA security nurse Adam Burke, portrayed by the one and only Chris Jericho, and his colleague, played by Leah Voysey.
Yes, the WWE legend was that bloke sat at the desk chowing down on that 'zombie platter' made by his wife, which he'd brought to work to celebrate Halloween with his colleagues - and this snippet actually set up his cameo in Terrifier 3.
Before the film dropped, the 53-year-old took to TikTok to discuss his role and the mounting anticipation for the threequel among film fans, saying the 'buzz is insane'.
Hinting at it's contents, he continued: "You're jaw will drop to the floor - much like my character Burke's did. If you know, you know. This movie is batsh*t crazy in the best possible way. I'm so proud to be a part of this franchise.
"I'm one of the only characters, one of the few, that appears in not just one, but two Terrifier movies. For how long? Wait and see. But the point is, Burke, Terrifier 2, Terrifier 3, go see it!"
In the new instalment to the horror franchise, which was released worldwide on Friday (11 October), viewers are taken into the past briefly, where they can see how Art the Clown came back to life at the asylum in Miles County.
While the now-possessed patient, Victoria, is up to no good with the killer clown, Burke is sat at his desk again munching on a few snacks when he gets an alert that something's going down in one of the rooms.
As the security cameras suddenly stop working, he heads down a dimly-lit corridor to check out what's happening before eventually reaching Victoria's cell.
I won't give too much away, although I'm sure you can guess that he didn't just find Victoria and Art the Clown having a catch up - but put it this way, Burke is absolutely brutalised by the pair of them.
It's safe to say Jericho was right about people's jaws being on the floor, as social media users have been taking to X to discuss their surprise at both the scene and his presence in Terrifier 3.
One wrote: "@IAmJericho getting absolutely wrecked in Terrifier 3."
Another joked: "If you really really really really really hate Chris Jericho I advise you go see Terrifier 3."
A third added: "Only good thing about Terrifier 3 was the surprise Chris Jericho appearance."
A fourth commented: "I'm pretty sure I just saw Chris Jericho in Terrifier 3?"
While a fifth laughed: "Chris Jericho getting smoked at the beginning of Terrifier 3 ruined the film for me…the real Chris Jericho woulda locked in the Walls of Jericho on that clown."
Don't feel too bad for him though, as he revealed that he was happy with how things played out for Burke.
Jericho told Dread Central: "To be back in 3 is a huge honour - and now, now some shit happens.
"It's not going to be good for any fans of Chris Jericho...which is what you want! You don't want to survive a Terrifier movie. But yeah, I'm really excited about it."
