Dead by Daylight and Behaviour Interactive are presenting the screenings, with support from Cineverse and Epic Pictures. A ticket to any of the 3 movies enters the buyer into a drawing for a Dead by Daylight download code.

Regal Crown Club members who purchase tickets will also get a code for Art’s retro flower sunglasses to use in the game, which features Art as a character.

Damien Leone wrote and directed all 3 films, with David Howard Thornton playing Art. Lauren LaVera joined the series in Terrifier 2 as Sienna Shaw.

That sequel earned $16.8 million worldwide on a $250,000 budget; Terrifier 3 brought in more than $90 million worldwide on a $2 million budget.

Discussing his approach when Terrifier 3 was released, Leone said: “I’m always looking for lines to get up to, to push the boundary.” He added, “Maybe just step right over it. But you can absolutely fall into a level of extreme distaste that I’m trying not to do.”
