The official novelization of Terrifier 2 will be published in paperback and e-book on October 8 via Titan Books. It's authored by Tim Waggoner (Halloween Kills, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter).

The 400-page adaptation of Damien Leone's 2022 slasher opus features cover art by Creepy Duck Design. Art the Clown returns to the big screen in Terrifier 3 on October 11 from Cineverse.

It has been one year since the sleepy town of Miles County survived the murderous spree of demented killer Art the Clown, but little do they know the nightmare is about to begin anew. Resurrected by a sinister entity, Art is back with an appetite for murder and mayhem—setting his sights on the recently bereaved teenager Sienna and her younger brother Jonathan. The streets are about to run with blood, and Sienna must somehow survive this gruesome Halloween night and discover how to defeat a brutal and unforgiving killing machine from beyond her nightmares. There’s no stopping Art once his sights are set on you…

Midnight Pals: The Philosophy of Composition

Tim Waggoner: so I’m compiling some advice on writing horror Poe: oh excellent! As it just so happens Poe: I actually have a whole theory about that Poe: a whole philosophy of composition Poe: I call it The Philosophy of Composition Waggoner: interesting Waggoner: tell me about this Waggoner: philosophy of composition Poe: ok so the important thing to know is that the most poetical thing is the death of a beautiful woman Poe: the most poetical thing is the death of a beautiful woman Poe: god it’s just so tragic! Poe: to lose a beautiful woman Barker: oh look the straights are at it again Patricia Highsmith: no no let him cook

Poe: see, writers like to talk about artistic intuition Poe: that’s bunk Poe: writing is methodical and analytical, not spontaneous Poe: let me tell you something that authors don’t want you to know Waggoner: oh nice, some real dirt!

Poe: see, writers positively shudder at letting the public take a peep behind the scenes... at the fully matured fancies discarded in despair... at the cautious selections and rejections King: edgar, no! King: oh my god, he’s giving away all our secrets!! King: the absolute mad man!!!

King: edgar, are you King: are you being serious? Or are you joking? Poe: you mean you can’t tell? King: edgar I am King: look edgar it’s just that sometimes King: sometimes King: goshdarn it I’m gonna say it King: sometimes edgar you’re known to be wry

Barker: so that’s your method? Poe: that is my method Barker: hmm that’s funny cuz I heard that modern scholars can’t decide if that’s actually your method or you’re being satirical Poe: Poe: I thought Poe: I dunno Poe: I thought I was being pretty clear
