Spooky season is in full swing and it might be swinging too hard as moviegoers are vomiting and fainting amid screenings of the new clown slasher film Terrifier 2.

The indie horror film centers around Art the Clown, a murderous killer whose rampage can’t be stopped. Probably due to the fact that he’s dead. Or undead. Or however that works.

Terrifier 2 is a crowd-funded indie flick from director Damien Leone. It began playing across 850 theatres across the US at the beginning of October and it has caused moviegoers to share rather unenjoyable viewings on social media, citing its graphic gore as reason to vomit and even pass out.

One Terrifier audience member said the film is so gory, he vommed into his popcorn. Others recount that viewers were “gasping” and “covering their eyes,” while still claiming it to be an “absolute masterpiece.”

Seeing Terrifier 2 in a theater was a real trip.

People in the audience were gasping, covering their eyes, and a few times I even heard retching sounds from a woman a few seats over.

It’s cool that a movie can still draw a reaction like that. Seems to rarely happen these days. pic.twitter.com/zkbK7vZeVr

Terrifier 2 was an absolute masterpiece. It has been a long time since I have enjoyed a movie this much in the theaters. That high you get watching has to equal when Nightmare on A Elm Street came out the first time. 10/10 perfect, perfect, perfect. @damienleone @TerrifierFilm

Leone says that reports of people fainting and vomiting are not a marketing ploy, claiming it’s “100% legit.”

To everyone saying that reports of people fainting and puking during screenings of Terrifier 2 is a marketing ploy, I swear on the success of the film it is NOT. These reports are 100% legit. I wish we were smart enough to think of that! 😋 But then again we didn’t need to😉

Steve Barton, one of Terrifier 2’s producers, took to Twitter to issue a warning about “graphic violence” and “brutal depictions of horror.”

We aren’t done yet. Hold on tight. News coming. #terrifier2 #terrifier #arttheclown pic.twitter.com/2r8jYZCVto

The film stars Jenna Kanell, Samantha Scaffidi, and David Howard Thornton as the sadistic clown — a ghastly killer in black-and-white clown makeup. IMDB says Art returned to Miles County after being resurrected by a “sinister entity” who sets his sights on a pair of small-town siblings.

And look, we hate to do this. But we watched the trailer so we’re embedding it for you too.

Thankfully, the slasher film is not screening at any major theatres in Canada, as per the movie’s official website. If Art pops up on screens in the country, we’ll surely let you know.

Or maybe he’ll find you first…
