Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Terrifier 3 (2024)
WhileTerrifier 3’s cameos from Brooke were already scary,Terrifier 4may have a much darker role in store for Sienna’s old friend.Terrifier 3’s brutally gory death scenesmight be the movie’s main selling point, but director Damian Leone’s second slasher sequel also gets into the heads of its characters. WhereTerrifier’s paper-thin characters were little more than conduits for some extraordinarily gory death scenes,Terrifier 2’s Sienna and Jonathan were a lot more fleshed-out. InTerrifier 3’s story, Lauren LaVera’s Sienna becomes a well-rounded Final Girl who struggles with readjusting to family life.
Why Vicky Doesn’t Heal In The Terrifier Movies But Art Does
Although Art the Clown recovers from certain death in the Terrifier movies, his accomplice Vicky can’t. There is a disturbing justification for this.
Sienna has a more substantial character arc inTerrifier 3, suffering panic attacks as she fears Art the Clown’s return and trying her best to forge bonds with her aunt Jess and cousin Gabbie.Jonathan’s note to Siennahaunts her throughoutTerrifier 3as she tries to balance maintaining her sanity with ensuring she is prepared for Art’s potential return. Sienna has a hard time deciding whether to believe the people around her and move on, or trust her gut and continue to research Art the Clown’s dark machinations. Brooke’s return highlights this dichotomy and sets up a darker sequel.
Brooke’s Return In Terrifier 3 Shows How Much Her Death Haunts Sienna
Brooke Appears As A Terrifying Hallucination During A Dinner Scene
During an otherwise sweet dinner scene with her aunt, uncle, and cousin,Sienna is haunted by visions of her horrifically mutilated friend Brooke inTerrifier 3. Brooke berates Sienna for allowing her to die, shaming her for trying to live a normal life after Brooke and the rest of her friends were brutally murdered. Sienna eventually manages to shake off this hallucination, but Brooke’s imagined presence clearly has a major impact on her. She remains haunted throughout the rest of the movie, and theTerrifierfranchise’s villainous Little Pale Girlcould take advantage of this in the next movie.
The Little Pale Girl will need a new human form in Terrifier 4.
The Little Pale Girl accompanied Art the Clown on his killing spree inTerrifier 2, even appearing to Sienna before the murders of her friends began. She taunted Sienna in the sequel, but doesn’t appear inTerrifier 3, since her demonic spirit possessed Vicky inTerrifier 2’s ending. Vicky acts as Art’s accomplice throughout Terrifier 3until she is eventually decapitated by Sienna and melts into a puddle of acidic black goo at the end. This means that the Little Pale Girl will need a new human form inTerrifier 4, and Brooke might be a perfect candidate.
The Little Pale Girl Could Use Brooke To Torture Sienna In Terrifier 4
Brooke’s Presence In Sienna’s Trauma Nightmares Makes Her Useful
Assuming the Little Pale Girl is still alive, Brooke could be a form that the demon takes next. WhenTerrifier 3’s Vicky failed to possess Sienna, she sealed her fate as the Final Girl soon overpowered and killed her. The Little Pale Girl could seemingly appear to Sienna at will duringTerrifier 2, so she could take the form of Brooke’s mutilated body to psychologically torture Sienna in the next movie. Alternatively,Terrifier 4could see the Little Pale Girl take on the form of Gabbie to remind Sienna that she lost her cousin to a portal to Hell inTerrifier 3’s ending.
