Terrifier 3 Soundtrack: Written, edited, and directed by Damien Leone, Terrifier 3 premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 19, 2024, and opened in US theaters on October 11, 2024, via Cineverse and Iconic Events Releasing. The sequel to 2022’s surprise-hit Terrifier 2 became a genuine independent box-office phenomenon — and returning composer Paul Wiley was part of that story, with his score getting its own vinyl release soon after.
