Hey Thrill Seekers,
Whatever you do, don’t trust the clowns.
Universal Orlando has announced DOWNTOWN CLOWNTOWN as the latest scare zone coming to Halloween Horror Nights 35, and this time the city that never sleeps is about to become a waking nightmare.
Guests entering the scare zone will find themselves surrounded by some of horror’s most terrifying clowns, including the Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Art the Clown and plenty of other clownsfolk who are apparently very keen to tear you limb from limb.
It’s safe to say this isn’t your average trip to the circus.
🎃The Official Description
Universal Orlando has provided the following terrifying warning:
“The city that never sleeps becomes a waking nightmare when it’s overrun by Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Art the Clown and other clownsfolk who can’t wait to tear you limb from limb.”
And if you’ve ever wondered what would happen if some of horror’s most recognisable clowns were all let loose in the same city, it sounds like you’ll finally get your answer at HHN35.
🤡Welcome to DOWNTOWN CLOWNTOWN
The premise behind DOWNTOWN CLOWNTOWN is simple.
Take a city that never sleeps.
Add some of the most terrifying clowns in horror.
Then let them loose.
The result is a scare zone where guests will have to navigate the streets while surrounded by killer clowns who have absolutely no interest in entertaining you.
Instead, they’re looking for their next victims.
And you could be exactly what they’re looking for.
👾Killer Klowns from Outer Space
One of the biggest attractions of DOWNTOWN CLOWNTOWN will undoubtedly be the appearance of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
The bizarre extraterrestrial clowns from the cult classic horror movie have become a firm favourite among horror fans, with their brightly coloured costumes and increasingly bizarre methods of terror.
Their inclusion should bring plenty of darkly comedic moments to the scare zone, although we’re not sure you’ll be laughing when they come looking for you.
After all, these aren’t clowns handing out balloons.
🎨Art the Clown Is Coming to Town
If the Killer Klowns weren’t enough, Universal is also bringing Art the Clown into the mix.
The terrifying silent clown from the Terrifier franchise has quickly become one of modern horror’s most recognisable characters.
Known for his disturbing appearance, unpredictable behaviour and extremely violent methods, Art is not the kind of clown you’d want to bump into while walking down a dark street.
Unfortunately for guests visiting DOWNTOWN CLOWNTOWN, that’s exactly what could happen.
🤡🤡🤡A Whole City Full of Clowns
The real appeal of this scare zone could be the sheer variety of clowns guests will encounter.
Universal’s announcement promises “other clownsfolk” alongside Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Art the Clown.
That means DOWNTOWN CLOWNTOWN could be packed with different characters, each bringing their own unique brand of terror to the streets.
You might think you’ve spotted one clown and then suddenly find yourself surrounded by another group.
The key thing to remember?
Never assume the clown standing behind you is friendly.
🧨Why DOWNTOWN CLOWNTOWN Could Be One of HHN35’s Most Popular Scare Zones
Scare zones are a huge part of the Halloween Horror Nights experience, allowing guests to explore themed environments filled with atmospheric effects and roaming scare actors.
But DOWNTOWN CLOWNTOWN has something that could make it particularly popular.
It brings together multiple iconic horror properties in one location.
Fans of Killer Klowns from Outer Space get to see their favourite characters.
Fans of Terrifier get Art the Clown.
And horror fans in general get the chance to walk through a city overrun by killer clowns.
It’s a pretty compelling combination.
