Terrifier 2 Post-Credits Scenes Explained: How Many Are They and What Do They Mean?

Terrifier 2 continues to make waves after it provoked American audiences, with more than one kind of discomfort and even fainting during its screenings. But multiple unknowns remain open after the conclusion of the creepy film: does the sequel have post-credits scenes? How many? What do they mean? After being resurrected by a sinister entity, Art the Clown returns to Miles County, where he sets out to hunt down and destroy a teenage girl and her younger brother on Halloween night.

The new events are set one year after the events of the first Terrifier. Now, Art (David Howard Thornton) turns his attention to the sibling duo, Jonathan and Sienna Shaw (Elliott Fullam and Lauren LaVera), who have a connection to the killer clown. Given the huge amount of attention the film has garnered, mainly for bringing to mainstream theatres a level of gore that seemed reserved only for the horror B-movie circuit, it’s clear that there will be a lot of interest in the upcoming sequel, the one that all lights is established not only with the end of the second film but also in its extensive post-credits scene.

Terrifier 2: Does it Have Post-Credits? How Many?

As if the brutality of the delivery were not enough, a minute after the final credits appear, the chilling extra material arrives that lasts for about four and a half minutes, in addition to having the cameo of the fighter Chris Jericho. The scene takes place after the apparent death of Art, who after his wanderings ends up being decapitated by the resurrected Sienna at the end of Terrifier 2.

The Little Pale Girl, Art’s ghoulish new companion and who seems to embody the evil demonic presence responsible for the clown’s immortality, appears after the execution to retrieve the severed head. The sinister little girl sometimes appears with glowing yellow eyes, a deeply unsettling trait she will inherit from one of Art’s past victims in the mid-credits sequence.

Precisely in this post-credits passage, it is shown how the surviving victim of Art the Clown, Victoria Hayes (Samantha Scaffidi), was confined in the Miles County Psychiatric Hospital. In the confinement she is seen first vomiting and then mutilating herself, later writing obscenities on the wall with her own blood. Also, the words “Art + Vicky” on the wall are revealed surrounded by a bloody heart. Accounting for a kind of Stockholm syndrome of paranormal and demonic reaches.

It is then that her belly begins to swell as if pregnant, eventually giving birth to the now-living head of Art the Clown. One of the nurses in the room sees the grotesque scene, while Vicky looks at her with her remaining eye and it begins to glow yellow, laughing out loud with Art’s newborn head in her lap.

So far, the reveal of Victoria’s glowing eyes suggests that Art the Clown may be able to maintain control over his victims (let’s agree The Little Pale Girl was the first to fall to Art) or, alternatively, it’s the demonic presence within The Little Pale Girl that ended up transferring to Victoria to ensure Art’s return. It’s basically the concept that evil never dies but is simply reborn and transformed, as is common in the horror genre.

Given this, one of the unknowns that remains is whether Art’s multiple resurrections are being controlled by himself or are acts of an outside force. Given the post-credits scene and how successful the sequel has been, it’s pretty much inevitable that there will be Terrifier 3, which should point towards a deeper exploration of the mythology behind the character in the upcoming sequel.

But not only that, but it should also aim to unravel the mystery surrounding Sienna and Jonathan’s father, his connection to Art, and the backstory for The Little Pale Girl. The same director and creator of Terrifier, Damien Leone, commented that “I had a Part 3 in mind when I wrote Part 2”.

“There are so many questions raised in Part 2 that are not answered, and that was part of the design because I know I’m going to go into Part 3,” he said.
