Posted to LaVera’s Instagram story,the image is of one of the sequel’s monitors showcasing the actress asSienna Shawin full costume with the simple yet powerful words, “She’s back!”She’s seen in thewarrior angel Halloween costume that the character made inTerrifier 2to honor her late father. A character who died under mysterious circumstances before the events of the first sequel and is someone fans are going to get some answers to in the third film. There’s no context to what LeVera’s doing in the scene, but given that she’s still in her iconic wardrobe, this could be an opening sequence that takes place right after the events ofTerrifier 2or a flashback of some kind.Maybe even a dream sequence which theTerrifierfranchisehasn’t shied away from. Sienna famously went toe-to-toe with Art in this costume, defeating them after one of the most epic battles in horror history. However, like fans know well, you may’t keep Art down for long.
Lauren LaVera’s Taken the Horror Crown

Their background as a stunt performer and martial artist was the deadly edge that took Sienna to the next level.She just has this weighty, almost glowing, screen presence that made every scene inTerrifier 2that much more urgent and scarier. It was so amazing, other horror superstars like directorMike Flanagantook notice. Because of that, it’s going to be exciting to see what LaVera brings to the character this time around.Sienna went through so much in the second film with her losing her best friends and mother at the hands of Art. She may have rescued her brother, but that lasting trauma is sure to be explored inTerrifier 3. However, outside the film’s huge success, LaVera has fully embraced her final girl status. Throughout 2023, she went to an endless number of conventions to lovingly meet theTerrifierfanbase. To say she’s a major part of the horror community now would be a massive understatement. LaVera’s one of the best young talents in the genre and the actress’ future is only getting brighter.
