Halloween Horror Nights announces Killer Klowns haunted house

Do you have a fear of clowns? How about aliens or dying? Better yet, are you afraid of “killer klowns” from outer space?

Then you better stay from Orlando this Halloween because the iconic killer klowns are coming to Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights to scare the life out of you.

Starting Sept. 6, MGM’s Killer Klowns from Outer Space will be featured in its own haunted house as an all-new maze.

It will feature both twisted scenes and gags from the cult classic horror sci-fi film.

The Killer Klowns from Outer Space maze will take guests to the small town of Crescent Cove, taken over by a pack of murderous klown-like creatures. Guests will be lured by the sweet smell of cotton candy and ice cream and find themselves in an otherworldly circus tent where they’ll come face-to-face with the crazed klowns and their sinister, side-splitting antics.

As they make their way through the Big Top Space Ship, guests will witness diabolical klowns making cotton candy cocoons from unsuspecting victims and will realize the joke’s on them as they are next to become the gooey snack.

This isn’t the klowns first trip to Orlando. Last year, the “killer klowns” were featured in a scare zone, but not a haunted house.

Halloween Horror Nights has announced six other haunted houses out of the 10 being featured this year. They are based on Netflix’s Stranger Things, Ghostbusters, the Yeti, Universal monters, a Roman arena and monsters from the depths of the ocean.
