ART THE CLOWN LEVELS UP IN TERRIFIER: THE ARTCADE GAME
WORDS: ROBBIE DUNLOP
ALEX SALCEDO OF SELECTA Play – the gaming branch of Selecta Visión, the distributor that brought Terrifier 2 and 3 to Spanish cinemas – calls Terrifier: The ARTcade Game a “love letter” to the franchise. “We’ve always aimed to bring well-known IPs into the world of gaming, and Terrifier was a perfect fit,” he tells SFX. “Thanks to our strong relationship and past collaboration with [franchise sales agent] The Coven, we were able to pitch the idea and make it happen.”
Classic arcade-style fightin’ awaits, with tons of gore.
Is the game based on the films, or does it tell an original story?
The game doesn’t retell the films beat by beat; it creates a story that plays out like a twisted spin-off within the Terrifier universe. Each stage is imagined as a film set, where Art shows up to turn the production into real carnage. That setup gave us the freedom to include familiar faces, references and nods to the movies, while still surprising fans with new scenarios and encounters they’ve never seen on screen.
