Damien Leone’s highly anticipated horror sequel, ‘Terrifier 3,’ is set to haunt screens next Halloween, and the thrilling news is in—Lauren LaVera is officially onboard!

Cineverse, partnering with Bloody Disgusting, unveiled the return of Lauren LaVera in the upcoming unrated slasher, ‘Terrifier 3,’ reprising her impactful role as Sienna.

LaVera’s compelling portrayal in the ultra-gory ‘Terrifier 2’ made her a standout, earning widespread acclaim as the rising star in the horror realm. Fans embraced her as the formidable Final Girl, evident from Sienna-inspired costumes flooding conventions and Halloween events this year.

Now, as the chilling saga continues in Damien Leone’s ‘Terrifier 3,’ LaVera returns to guide audiences through spine-tingling nightmares as Art the Clown unleashes terror upon the unsuspecting residents of Miles County on Christmas Eve.

“I’m thrilled to reprise my role in ‘Terrifier 3,'” expressed LaVera. “Damien’s vision for Sienna is extraordinary, and I’m excited to witness the evolution of my character. It’s been surreal to see the overwhelming support from fans for Sienna, and I commend Damien for introducing a robust female character, the angelic yet courageous heroine, standing against Art the Clown’s brutal antics. I can’t wait for viewers to experience Sienna’s next chapter as Damien delves deeper into her story.”

Leone praised LaVera, stating, “Lauren was the heartbeat of ‘Terrifier 2,’ and her character is pivotal for the next chapter. Her presence brings a unique essence to the film, essential for the continuation of our spine-chilling narrative. Sienna’s journey, grappling with intense trauma from prior events, and her eventual confrontation with Art, forms the compelling essence of this franchise.”
