Art the Clown is coming to wreak havoc at Halloween Horror Nights, with a new Terrifier inspired haunted house set to kick off at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood later this summer.
The clown slasher themed haunt titled Welcome to the Funhouse will torment guests at Universal Orlando Resort on Friday, August 29 and at Universal Studios Hollywood on Thursday, September 4.
Per an official press release, here's what fans can expect if they dare to step into Art's lair:
During Halloween Horror Nights, guests will experience an unfathomable level of gore as they try to escape becoming Art the Clown’s next victim. “Terrifier” is a grisly haunted house oozing with a new sense of terror that takes guests into Art the Clown’s gruesome Funhouse, which first appeared in Terrifier 2. Guests will be overwhelmed by the sights, sounds, smells and dread of Art’s grotesque kills, gleefully displayed for all to see. As fans make their way through the claustrophobic corridors, they will encounter familiar faces, including Vicky and the Little Pale Girl, and witness iconic kills from the franchise. Chaos reigns at the Clown Café, terror festers in a revolting bathroom and holiday cheer turns deadly in a Christmas nightmare. Guests must escape Art’s twisted world—or become his next gruesome display.
If, on the off chance, you're somehow unfamiliar with Art the Clown and the Terrifier franchise, Damien Leone's gruesome slasher series sees the supernatural clown terrorize the fictional town of Miles County, New York, on Halloween and tortures victims in creatively cruel and sickeningly sinister ways. The first feature, 2016's Terrifier birthed a record-breaking sequel with Terrifier 2, followed by the festive Terrifier 3, and a fourth film en route.
Welcome to the Funhouse joins the previously announced Friday the 13th-themed Jason Universe haunt also taking place at this year's Halloween Horror Nights.
