Terrifier Actress Sues Producers Over Unpaid Payments
Catherine Corcoran, who played the victim of one of Art the Clown's gory kills, claims she is owed 1% of profits from the hit slasher franchise.
Corcoran played a woman, Dawn, who was hung upside down by the series' villain Art the Clown and bisected with a hacksaw in the original 2016 micro-budget horror film.
The scene, coined the "splits" scene by fans, played a major role in establishing "Terrifier" among hardcore slasher fans as a film that pushes the envelope of on-screen violence.
This led to the greenlight of a sequel in 2022, turning "Terrifier" into a pop culture phenomenon, including being featured in this year's Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios theme parks.
Catherine Corcoran has sued series creator Damien Leone and the film's producers over claims of unpaid backend payments.
