Spill Some Blood With the Upcoming ‘Terrifier’ Video Game
Back in October, I got my hands on the Special Edition of Nighthawk Interactive’s Halloween and Ash vs Evil Dead RetroRealms Double Feature. I mean, I preordered that baby, desperate for all the goodies and collectibles, plus games centering around two of my favorite horror franchises, despite my innate resistance toward 2D action platformers. The games are fine, probably great if you’re a fan of that genre, though the novelty of a pixel art-styled sidecroller with 16-bit visuals where I got to play as Ash and Michael Myers was enough to leave me satisfied with my purchase.
After all, I love video games, especially horror video games, though known properties are rarely adapted as anything other than asynchronous multiplayer titles. I tried Friday the 13th: The Game, hated the matchmaking, and thus never even bothered to try my hand at Evil Dead: The Game, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, or Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game. I did have Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds and Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick for my PS2, so how about that? Well, Art the Clown is entering the fray with a game of his own. Yes, Terrifier is getting an official video game adaptation.

Per Relevo: Step into a world of pixelated carnage with Terrifier: The ARTcade Game, a gory retro fighting beat ‘em up packed with intense action, dark humor, and tons of fun! Inspired by the classic beat ‘em up games of the 80s and 90s.
The game is definitely taking a page from Halloween and Ash vs Evil Dead RetroRealms Double Feature with its retro-inspired, side-scrolling action. The developer notes several key features, including a vast arsenal of weapons, a retro soundtrack, multiplayer stages, and intense boss fights. Who might the bosses be? Couldn’t tell ya, but they’re there, and most assuredly primed for slaughter.
Select retailers have physical copies for both the PS5 and Nintendo Switch available for preorder, with copies expected to ship when the game releases at an unspecified date later this year. For the true Art the Clown aficionados, a limited edition is available featuring a physical copy of the game, enamel pins, posters, gloves, a puke bag, and several other goodies.
