End Credits #361 - October 16, 2024 (Terrifier 3)

This week on End Credits we get terrified. Like most of North America (apparently given the box office numbers), we've caught Art Fever, so for the second week in a row we're going to dig into the cinematic adventures of a killer clown, and in this case it's Terrifier 3 we're talking about. And to keep up the spooky theme, we will revisit a Canadian horror classic!

This Wednesday, October 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:

Black Christmas at 50! It was half-a-century ago that a small Canadian movie was released in theatres, and though it might have been overlooked, it's become one of the most memorable and influential horror films in cinema history. Bob Clark's Black Christmas features a "who's who" cast and is still incredibly stylish and atmospheric 50 years later. So what a perfect time to take another look at this gem of Canadian film?

REVIEW: Terrifier 3 (2024). Over a decade ago, horror fans were introduced to Art the Clown in the anthology film All Hallow's Eve. Now? Art is a horror icon nearly on par with Freddy, Jason, and Micheal, and Terrifier 3 might be his apex. In the third entry of the franchise, Art decides to expand his act to Christmas by giving something pointy or exploding to boys and girls everywhere, but is there more to the story than pure unadulterated violence and chaos? And is Art the only clown worth talking about at the movies this October?

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
