Pure speculation, just a fan theory

Since Damien Leone confirmed Part 4 takes place on New Year’s Eve, I think this could be the most chaotic entry yet.

My theory:
• The woman reading The 9th Circle fully opens a gateway to Hell

• Sienna, Jonathan, and Gabbie get pulled deeper into the supernatural side

• short Art the Clown backstory segment (~15 min range, based on fan breakdowns)

• Vicki becomes a major force in Hell

• Earth-side, Art uses a massive NYE party as the perfect cover for a massacre

• Midnight = possible “Hell meets Earth” breaking point

I also wouldn’t be surprised if we see more of the Pale Clown Girl or other Hell manifestations tied to Art.

Feels like the third act could go completely insane with cuts between Hell and Earth collapsing at the same time.

What are your theories for Part 4?

Picked up this One Wish Willow popcorn bucket tonight at my local AMC and I honestly love it. The bright red design, vintage style artwork, and overall look give it such a nostalgic feel. It has that classic old-school snack container vibe while still feeling unique and collectible. It’s for Obsession in theaters May 15, and I’ll be seeing it early on May 13. Definitely one of the nicer theater buckets I’ve seen in a while. Anyone else grab one yet?

Damien Leone revealed on Instagram today (5/8/26) that Terrifier 4 will be set around New Year’s Eve, teasing it with: “No space. No Easter bunny. Art’s bringing in the New Year!”

What we know so far:

Set on New Year’s Eve

Damien Leone returning

Supposedly the franchise finale

Script nearly complete

Lauren LaVera expected back

Honestly, making these movies holiday-themed is smart because it gives them built-in seasonal rewatch value. First Halloween, then Christmas, now New Year’s Eve. Art is slowly taking over the calendar.

My theory: I could see this releasing either January 2027 (to match the setting) or October 2027 (bigger horror season box office). Personally I lean October 2027 because that’s prime horror release time.

What do you all think?
