While one clown's latest big-screen outing is a certified flop (sorry, "Joker 2"), a far more sinister one has been busy scaring up a storm over the last few weeks.

Yes, of course we're talking about "Terrifier 3", the third installment in Damien Leone's uber-violent horror franchise that stars the horrifying demonic killer, Art the Clown (as portrayed by David Howard Thornton).

Just three days on from its theatrical release on October 11, the blood-soaked, low-budget slash flick was already the highest-grossing "Terrifier" movie, and it has gone on to rake in more than $63 million at the box office worldwide.

This third, festive, caper sees Art's nemesis, Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera), and her friends trying to rebuild their lives in the run-up to Christmas... but Art and the possessed Victoria Heyes re-emerge to terrorize Miles County all over again.

Not quite brave enough to venture out to the movie theater and want to watch "Terrifier 3" from the comfort of your own home? Here's the latest news about a "Terrifier 3" streaming date.

Before "Terrifier 3" comes to a streaming video-on-demand (SVOD) streaming service, it will first be available to rent or purchase on premium video-on-demand (PVOD) platforms like Amazon, Apple TV Plus and Vudu. "Terrifier 3" will be available to buy or rent from PVOD streaming services starting November 26. If you have to watch it the minute it lands, "Terrifier 3" is already available for pre-order on Prime Video.

But if you're waiting for it to come to a streamer like Netflix or Max, you might have a bit of a wait on your hands. That's because we already know that "Terrifier 3" will make its SVOD debut on ScreamBox, a horror-centric streamer that's owned by Cineverse, which distributes the "Terrifier" movies.

If you haven't come across the streamer before, it costs $6.99/month or $59.99 per year to sign up.

Unfortunately, the ScreamBox streaming date is yet to be announced. Our best guess is that "Terrifier 3" could debut on ScreamBox on or around December 17. That's when you'll be able to buy physical media, including DVD and Blu-ray. It seems that "Terrifier 3" has been so successful that Cineverse is waiting a bit longer to put it on ScreamBox than it did with "Terrifier 2."

When we get an official "Terrifier 3" streaming date, we'll be sure to include it here, so keep checking back. In the meantime, both of the previous two Terrifier movies are available on Prime Video. So feel free to watch them now and keep an eye out for a possible Prime Video arrival for the third installment at some point in the future.
