Killer clowns have been known to be nightmare fuel, but it seems Terrifier 2, the low-budget horror flick written and directed by Damien Leone, has taken the horror trope to new levels for some audiences.

The film, a follow-up to Leone's 2016 Terrifier, premiered in a handful of theatres in the United States on Oct 6 and garnered strong reactions — including physical ones — from fans starting on premiere night.
