The Clown Cafe Is Open for Business at Halloween Horror Nights 34
Step right up….if you dare. The infamous Art the Clown has slashed his way into Halloween Horror Nights 2025 at Universal Orlando, bringing buckets of blood and pure nightmare fuel to one of the most extreme haunted houses in the event’s history.
Developed in collaboration with Terrifier creator Damien Leone, this new HHN house is not for the faint of heart. Show director Ramon Paradoa describes it as “one of the goriest, most intense experiences we’ve ever created,” capturing the relentless brutality of the films while plunging guests straight into Art’s twisted world.

Fans of the franchise will instantly recognize key scenes and settings from the Terrifier films — starting with the Terrifier Funhouse, where colorful carnival charm quickly gives way to carnage. Paradoa explains, “Art the Clown has returned to his funhouse and turned it into a museum of his most gruesome kills. He’s recreated his artwork for fans to see — and for victims to experience.”
Inside, guests will find everything from the Clown Café, complete with its deceptively cheerful jingle, to Art’s Kill Shop, where the clown’s “creativity” truly shines. Easter eggs from both Terrifier films are hidden throughout, including Dawn’s infamous hacksaw scene and Allie’s chilling bedroom sequence.
But Universal’s creative team didn’t stop there. They pushed the limits of practical effects and immersive storytelling to bring Art’s sadistic energy to life. Guests will face a choice between two paths, the Dry Path or the Blood Bath, as part of a finale designed to test every guest’s comfort level. And yes, Paradoa confirms that “splashing people in the blood of Art’s victims” was a design challenge they gladly accepted. Don’t worry, it’s not real blood… but it sure won’t feel fake in the moment.

Even outside the haunted house, there’s no escaping him. Art the Clown has reportedly been spotted roaming Universal Studios Florida, stalking guests among the fog and food booths. His presence ensures the terror continues long after you’ve exited the funhouse.
If you thought HHN couldn’t get any darker after Chucky: Ultimate Kill Count or The Exorcist: Believer, Terrifier proves that Universal can always find new ways to raise the body count.
