“Terrifier” villain Art the Clown has come a long way since his humble origins in the indie horror anthology film “All Hallows’ Eve.” These days, he’s a bona fide box office draw, as the “Terrifier” movie series can’t stop passing box office milestones — an impressive accomplishment when you consider that the films have a reputation for making audience members physically sick in theaters. That said, the evil clown’s influence is growing, as “Terrifier” is the latest horror franchise to receive its own Halloween Horror Nights maze at Universal Studios. Suffice it to say, there will be blood.
The event, which opens at the Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood on August 29, 2025, and September 4, respectively, promises to be one of Universal’s goriest outings to date. Modeled after Art’s Funhouse, participants will have to endure bloodbaths at the Clown Cafe, the horrors of revolting bathrooms, and other haunted hotspots where Art has caused carnage in the past. What’s more, those who dare enter will have to put up with unbearable stenches and relive some of the most gruesome scenes of the movies … and they aren’t for the squeamish.
If that isn’t brutal enough, participants can also expect to run into Art’s creepy little sidekicks, Little Pale Girl and Victoria, both of whom share his appetite for causing mayhem. If you’re one of the people who threw up and walked out of any of the “Terrifier” movies, this event probably isn’t for you. However, horror fans might see it as a fun way to hang out with Art and the gang until their next cinematic adventure slashes its way onto screens.
