A horror film that was so terrifying cinema-goers were passing out and vomiting has finally been made available here in the UK.
Terrifier 2 is a sequel that again stars the thoroughly unnerving Art the Clown as he terrorises a pair of teenage siblings on Halloween night.
The film was made on a tiny budget and is one of the bloodiest movies ever made.
It’s also really long for a horror film, spanning two hours and 28 minutes of pure gore.
The gruesome film quickly became a box office success in the states, but never made it to the big screen here – the show’s producer said it was ‘deemed “too extreme” for UK cinemas’.

But while it dodged the full cinema experience, Terrifier 2 is now available to horror fans here in the UK.

Just in time for Halloween, the film was released for rent through Amazon Prime Video, as well as released on Blu-ray and DVD.
There’s clearly an appetite for it – the film is sitting at number two in the official UK Film Chart at the time of writing, beaten only by Brad Pitt’s Bullet Train.
One of our favourite things about Terrifier 2 is the reaction it’s received, with dramatic reports of people collapsing in fear in the cinema.

The film distributor has now gone and submitted it for an Oscar too, for the funniest reason.
In a post on its website, Bloody Disgusting wrote: “The thought of having members of the Academy endure an extreme unrated horror movie that they would otherwise consider beneath them? That’s just too hilarious of an opportunity to pass up.
“So, we’re listening to the fans. Everything about Terrifier 2 has been fan-driven every step of the way, and if you want to have a little more fun with this one we’re happy to oblige.
“With that said… it’s now official… Terrifier 2 has been submitted by Bloody Disgusting for Oscar consideration!
They continued: “We broke all the rules and fans rewarded us with tremendous support that shook the system to its core. And we’ve got the vomit stories to prove it.

“Meant to play in only a handful of theaters over the course of a single weekend, Terrifier 2 just expanded to 1,500 theaters for Halloween weekend – the widest release for unrated horror… ever?!
“Terrifier 2 is about as anti-Hollywood as you can get and yet, it’s hanging with the big boys.”
You can download or buy it through Amazon Prime here – if you’re brave enough to actually watch it.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
