Woman was 'fighting for her life' and got numerous health warnings during Terrifier 3 screening

If you're a fan of s**tting your pants in public, then Terrifier 3 might be the one for you.

The horror film picks up after Terrifier 2, continuing the terrifying story of Art the Clown, portrayed by David Howard Thornton.

After barely surviving their last encounter, Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera) and her brother Jonathan (Elliott Fullam) are still recovering from the horrific incident on Halloween that left their mother dead.

While struggling to make sense of it all, Art has returned from the dead and the killer clown is again focused on Sienna, who is forced to confront him once again.

Shockingly, nine people walked out of the UK Gala Premiere after the first scene and reactions from the horrified audience have also been shared on social media.

Not to mention one woman who claims to have got numerous heart rate warnings from her Apple Watch in the cinema.

Taking to X, she wrote: "Was fighting for my life tonight during Terrifier 3 and loved every second."

The NHS say that the normal resting heart rate for an adult is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm).

However, the woman's resting heart rate went above 120 while watching Terrifier 3.

Thankfully, this usually is nothing to worry about.

According to the American Heart Association, it's totally normal for your heart rate to go up 'when a person is frightened or perceived to be in danger'.

"The brain triggers a surge of adrenaline, which makes the heart beat faster and pushes the body instantly into 'fight-or-flight' mode," they explain.

"It also affects the liver and pancreas, triggers perspiration and pushes blood toward major muscle groups."

"It's measured on how big the scare is," said Dr. Vincent Bufalino, a cardiologist and president of Advocate Medical Group.

"You can have a sudden cardiac-related event related to an adrenaline surge, but I think it would be a stretch to say you could get that from someone coming in a werewolf costume to your front door.

"This is the kind of thing that you can't prepare for. If it happens, it happens, and you hope your body doesn't overreact to that event."

The only time you might need to worry is if you have a pre-existing heart condition.

"Those circumstances are extremely rare when that happens," said Dr. Mark Estes, a cardiologist and professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

"Swings of emotion and roller coasters are OK for people who are young, who have a healthy heart.

"But certainly, in people with pre-existing risk factors or pre-existing cardiovascular disease, you want to reduce the environments in which you might be suddenly stressed like this."
