Universal Studios Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights is must-see pilgrimage for horror fans, thrill-seekers, and amusement park enthusiasts. Every year, fans wait in anticipation for what horror properties the park may adapt for their various haunts. Past years’ have included haunts based on Ghostbusters, Insidious, and A Quiet Place. This year, one haunt may be an absolute work of Art.
Art the Clown (played by David Howard Thornton) has become an iconic horror villain, viewed in the mainstream alongside the Horror Slasher Mount Rushmore of Freddy, Michael, Jason and Chucky. Art stars in the iconic Terrifier franchise, known for its eerie antagonist, boundless supernatural lore, and nauseating torture and death sequences. With the series’ popularity, it was only a matter of time for it to get its own haunted house.
The announcement video for the Terrifier haunted house promises all the expected for an adaptation of the franchises. A flickering, grainy TV depicts shots of rusty, murderous tools, festering bugs and gore, and silhouettes of screaming victims. It teases a possible setting of final girl Sienna Shaw’s (Lauren LaVera) bedroom, alongside what might be Art’s torture den.
Art the Clown isn’t the only one invading the Sunshine State, though. The Terrifier haunt is joined alongside a haunt based on Amazon’s Fallout, promising a post-apocalyptic hellscape, alongside a mysterious Five Nights At Freddy’s attraction, which currently has detailed under wraps. And while horror fans wait for news on the Crystal Lake TV series, they can watch information on the new Friday the 13th-inspired attraction, set in the new Jason Un1v3rse.
