The Terrifier is coming to Halloween Horror Nights as both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood are about to unleash Art the Clown upon us all!
Welcome to the Funhouse. The twisted world of Art the Clown comes to life in this year’s all-new Terrifier haunted house inspired by the slasher film franchise that has consistently terrorised filmgoers since 2008.
Starting at Universal Orlando Resort on Friday, August 29 and at Universal Studios Hollywood on Thursday, September 4 the independent horror film that took the world by shock (and storm) will be immortalised in Universal Horror Nights history.
Spewing from creator, writer, director Damien Leone and producer Phil Falcone along with Dark Age Cinema Productions, Terrifier introduced a new slasher film series to the cinematic world, featuring Art the Clown, a supernatural entity who terrorizes the fictional town of Miles County, New York, on Halloween and tortures victims in creatively cruel and sickeningly sinister ways. The Terrifier film franchise has evolved to become three chilling and gory movies with a fourth film in development and a Halloween Horror Nights haunted house on the way.
You know you’ve made it when you get a HHN maze themed around your creation that’s for sure!
Guests will have to get ready for unfathomable levels of gore as they try to escape being Art the Clown’s next victim.
This grisly haunted house may just be Universal’s goriest one yet as 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.
My old friend Michael Leavy (a producer on the film) had a very gory send-off in the first movie, it would be nice to see him also immortalised in the maze as one of many (and I mean many) gory kills within the franchise.
Inspired by the “Terrifier” haunted house, fans can purchase new, limited release products, including a t-shirt and bag available now at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood and on Shop.UniversalOrlando.com, beginning Friday, July 11. Additionally, a new graphic puzzle piece for Terrifier is available to fit into the collectable Halloween Horror Nights frame. Fans can collect this piece along with others representing this year’s killer line-up to assemble and create a bloody mural within the frame.
Additional event details, including new haunted houses coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort, will be revealed soon.
I can’t quite see how they could do a Terrifier maze without a serious 18+ age restriction attached, yes they’ve managed it with other franchises but those franchises aren’t wholly built on just how far you can push the gore-factor.
This will certainly be one maze to look out for at Halloween Horror Nights in 2025.
