Have you ever wondered why some people enjoy watching scary movies? Terrifier 3, a recent horror film, might give us some clues. This low-budget movie, which just came out, is already number one at the US box office. But why? Well, it's not your typical horror movie. It's more like a battle of wills, challenging viewers to see how much gore they can handle.

     In Terrifier 3, a creepy clown named Art goes on a killing spree. We're talking beheadings, skin peeling, and even a guy getting a chainsaw shoved... well, you get the idea. It's extreme, and it's making people sick – literally. Some viewers have reacted so strongly that they've thrown up or left the theater. But that hasn't stopped people from filling the seats. In fact, it seems to be drawing more crowds.

     Art the Clown isn't new to the scene. He's been around since 2008 in short films. The first Terrifier movie came out in 2016 and made back its budget many times over. Each sequel has been more successful than the last. Now, Terrifier 3, with a $2 million budget, is the biggest movie in the US after earning $18.3 million in its first weekend.

     Why are these movies so popular? For one, they're not your typical studio horror movies. They're independently made and unrated, appealing to hardcore horror fans who are tired of watered-down scares. Plus, if you can laugh at the darkness, they're actually kind of funny.

     Take Joker: Folie à Deux, for example. It was supposed to be the big movie of October, but it flopped. Maybe because it tried too hard to be different from the first Joker movie, which made it less enjoyable.

     So, what's the takeaway? People love movies about violent villains, as long as they don't start singing. Ever think about Art the Clown bursting into a show tune? Probably not the best idea.
