Warning: this article contains discussion of torture and sexual mutilation
Terrifier 3is one of the biggest horror movies of 2024, continuing the story from the previous films and upping the stakes to an even higher degree.
The film is one of the goriest and most gruesome movies in recent memory, which has drivenTerrifier 3to break box office recordsand become a smash hit with audiences.
Out of all the bloody moments in the film, however, one in particular has become the biggest talking point about that film, and that isTerrifier 3’s glass shard scene, featuring the character Vicky.
There Was A “Will Be Done Tastefully” Note In The Terrifier 3 Script For Vicky’s Glass Scene
The Terrifier Franchise Isn’t Exactly Known For How Tasteful It Is
In November 2024, there was aTerrifier 3panel at Monster-Mania Con, featuring Scaffidi, which Screen Rant was able to attend.
At the panel, Scaffidi revealed that in theTerrifier 3script, next to the glass shard scene, the director,Damien Leone, wrote “Will be done tastefully.
“Considering what the scene is, “tasteful” doesn’t seem like the most appropriate adjective, although a case could certainly be made that the scene could’ve gone farther when it came to the gross-out factor.
She sort of disassociates while she is going over the scenes, distancing herself as a person from the horrific things that are happening in the film.
Scaffidi also talked about her own feelings when it comes to that moment and the franchise as a whole, saying thatthe glass shard scene is one of her favorites in the series so far, noting that she’s “always down” for whatever Leone comes up with.
She mentioned that theTerrifierseries' intense blood and goredoesn’t affect her too much, as she sort of disassociates while she is going over the scenes, distancing herself as a person from the horrific things that are happening in the film.
Terrifier 3 follows Sienna and her brother as they attempt to move past the traumatic events of Art the Clown’s Halloween massacre. As they embrace the Christmas season, Art reemerges, intent on turning their holiday into a nightmare, continuing his reign of terror.
How Samantha Scaffidi’s Vicky Became So Important In The Terrifier Franchise
She Became One Of The Franchise’s Biggest Assets
Vicky started off as the main character in the firstTerrifierfilm, eventually embodying the classic horror trope of the final girl, the last survivor at the end of the film.
However, by the time ofTerrifier 3,Vicky has evolvedinto something else entirely, becoming a full antagonist alongside Art the Clown.
It would seem that her popularity, combined with the depth and intricacies of the character, led to the franchise letting Vicky adopt a more complex role.
Horror sequels tend to bank on bringing back their final girls to act as supporting characters or reprising their role as the protagonist, but by subverting expectations in this way,Terrifier 3was able to turn Vicky into a completely unique character.
It was an unorthodox move to be sure, but that notion alone makes it a fitting decision, considering how the franchise itself has always been willing to break norms.
