It’s official: Art the Clown is joining the ranks of horror legends at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights 2025 in both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood. The announcement confirms that Terrifier, the cult-favorite slasher franchise, will be the focus of an all-new haunted house that promises some of the most disturbing, grotesque, and gory moments guests have ever seen at HHN.
Launching August 29 in Orlando and September 4 in Hollywood, this house is inspired by the twisted world created by Damien Leone and Phil Falcone of Dark Age Cinema Productions. First introduced in 2008, Terrifier has since evolved into a fan-fueled trilogy (with a fourth film in development), gaining a reputation for relentless violence, nightmarish imagery, and its utterly unhinged antagonist, Art the Clown.
Step Inside the Gruesome Funhouse
Set within the blood-slicked corridors of Art the Clown’s Funhouse—first revealed in Terrifier 2—this haunted house plunges guests into the depraved reality of Miles County, New York, where Art’s murders are not just personal… they’re theatrical.
As you wind through the attraction, you’ll relive iconic kills from the films, pass through the blood-soaked Clown Café, squirm your way through a repulsive bathroom sequence, and even find yourself trapped in a Christmas-themed nightmare. You’ll encounter fan-favorite characters like Vicky and the haunting Little Pale Girl, all while trying to stay one step ahead of Art’s gleeful carnage.
Universal promises an overwhelming sensory experience—complete with disturbing visuals, sounds, and yes, smells—as guests become part of Art’s next potential masterpiece.
