Horror fans are weird. (Note: this author is writing this as a lifelong horror fan, who is undeniably weird.) What would you think if you heard the words "passed out cold" or "puking hard and loud?" What about "VOMIT BAGS" (all caps)? If your reaction was closer to "one ticket, please" than "oh my god, is this another pandemic?" you may be a member of this exclusive club. The newest compulsory outing? Damien Leone's Terrifier 2, a clown-based slasher so violently disgusting that fans are apparently experiencing their own, live body horror in theaters—and loving every minute of it.

"My friend passed out and the theater called an ambulance. Highly recommend," one sociopath fan gushed, with attached photographic evidence of the medical emergency in question.

"Just saw Terrifier 2. It was an amazing gory mess. The guy behind me passed out cold n crashed into my chair, another guy left because he didn't feel good, I overheard him say and walking out theatre door I heard a guy puking hard & loud in the bathroom," wrote another. (He clarified in a follow up Tweet that he "loved the movie," just in case you were worried for a second that passing out and puking weren't actually welcome cinematic reactions.)

The team behind the film, to their credit, clearly anticipated this, er, outpouring of enthusiasm. Complimentary vomit bags handed out at screenings don't just exist in the first place, but go so far as to ensure that film is "guaranteed to cause gastrointestinal upset." (Also, do not reuse these vomit bags for Terrifier 3, folks! Now that would be gross.)

The real question, of course, is whether these reports are to be believed or not. In the words of another satisfied customer, Terrifier 2 is "the first movie in my lifetime where I've read reports of people fainting and vomiting in the theater, and then after finally seeing it myself thinking, 'yeah, I get that.'"

Still on the fence? You can watch a single minute of the film here (obvious content warning for extremely graphic violence). Now grab your popcorn and your vomit bag, multiply that by 140, and make sure you have 911 pre-dialed on your phone, just in case.

Meh, popular misconception. We still have both.

This type of marketing and movie has been around since the 60s and 70s

Terrifier does that too, but Art is also the old slasher killer trope dialled up to 11, with incredible makeup and costume design, practical effects and non verbal acting. This is not just murder porn.

Current Terror movies are just torture movies.

there's a complete overabundance of them too. The other day I went to a movie theater and literally all they had were these woke horror films and dragon ball super hero. I'm not even kidding nobody even paid attention to those films the theater was just filled with people with anime shirts.

From what I've seen of the genre from the trailers those movies you listed were better than the ones I've seen advertised on the big screen and gave people a warning this may shock you I don't think they do that anymore and from what I've seen there has been a overabundance of late of trashy horror movies being the only thing their making nowadays besides the standout remakes sequels the 1 kid movie and woke comedies.

Blair Witch did the same thing, but that was because the camera work was motion sickness inducing.

didn't bother me I saw it in the theater... that was a fun week or so... all internet rumors it was a real event, and then the cast shows up at the MTV movie awards.

Hey @brap what are you doing that is so exciting you wanna pass on a killer clown movie?

First movie was extremely underwhelming, but hell I'll give it a go out of morbid curiosity. Where can I watch this as far as streaming?
