‘Terrifier’ House Brings Art the Clown to Universal Halloween Horror Nights 2025

Art the Clown is coming to Halloween Horror Nights for the first time in 2025, as a brand new Terrifier house has just been officially announced for both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood theme parks. Read on for the official announcement.

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 terrorized filmgoers since 2008.

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.

During Halloween Horror Nights, guests will experience an unfathomable level of gore as they try to escape becoming Art the Clown’s next victim. “Terrifier” is a grisly haunted house oozing with a new sense of terror that takes guests into Art the Clown’s gruesome Funhouse, which first appeared in Terrifier 2. 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.

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 collectible 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.

You can watch the official announcement video below.

Halloween Horror Nights 2025 kicks off on August 29 at Universal Orlando Resort and on September 4 at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Tickets are on sale now for Orlando here and for Hollywood here.
