Terrifier 3 star reveals horror team used “condom” to create her favorite kill

As a seasoned horror enthusiast with a soft spot for practical effects and a knack for appreciating the craftsmanship behind every scream-inducing scene, I can’t help but be impressed by the ingenuity of Terrifier 3’s team. From their humble beginnings to their latest $2 million budget, they continue to push boundaries with their creativity and resourcefulness.


The imagination of the Terrifier team is incredibly vast, as evidenced by the fact that actress Lauren LaVera from Terrifier 3 considers her favorite kill was carried out with a condom.

Even if you can’t deal with Art the Clown’s gnarly kills in the Terrifier franchise, you can at least appreciate the hard work that goes into making these horror movies a reality.

In most instances, they opt for practical effects – meaning that Director Damien Leone and his gifted crew personally craft all the grisly scenes without relying on digital technology. What’s even more astonishing is that they managed to produce these masterpieces within budget constraints: just $35,000 for Terrifier and $250,000 for Terrifier 2.

In comparison to today’s large-scale productions, the budget for Terrifier 3 is relatively small, amounting to only $2 million.

For the second movie, they had to get a little more… creative with the resources they had. 

I recently had a chat with LaVera, the actress who portrays Sienna Shaw in the Terrifier horror movie series, prior to the premiere of Terrifier 3. During our conversation, I asked her to share which kill in the franchise she finds most fascinating so far.

What’s her response? The demise of Brooke (Kailey Hyman), who tragically perishes in Terrifier 2 after Art pours acid onto her face, resulting in a gruesome explosion.

As she’s screaming in agony, he starts ruthlessly beating her to a pulp with a spiked club before ripping her open and tearing out her still-beating heart. Lovely.

The main reason LaVera adores “Brooke’s Kill” so deeply is due to its creation process. As we learned from her, even though it was a low-budget production, the scene where acid was thrown on Brooke’s face required her face to bubble, which adds a unique and authentic touch to the movie.

“They created a bubbling effect on the face using a condom, which I found both hilarious and brilliant. Using such an affordable item for this purpose was clever, and the result looked fantastic.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but be captivated by these talented creators. It’s mind-boggling how they consistently deliver extraordinary creativity on such tight financial restraints.

anticipate even more of that same thrill in Terrifier 3, as it’s set to carve its way into cinemas on October 11. In the meantime, find out the minimum age required to watch it, learn the correct sequence to view the Terrifier films, and discover a hidden movie to catch beforehand.
