Halloween horror nights killer klowns from outer space

Experience one of the age old fears at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights this year - Killer Klowns from Outer Space are coming…

Clowns. They're one of the most common fears that people have, and this year, Universal Orlando Resort is placing a terrifying twist on the classic image. ‘Killer Klowns from Outer Space’ is the latest maze to be announced for Halloween Horror Nights 2019, taking place this autumn.

The crazed clowns have been a feature of the annual event in Orlando before, and are returning once again to wreak havoc and terrify guests. 

The all-new chilling mazes will feature more twisted scenes and ghastly gags from the popular MGM horror sci-fi film: Killer Klowns from Outer Space, a 1980’s cult favourite. 

Scenes will transport visitors to the sleepy small town of Crescent Cove, which has been taken over by a pack of murderous clown-like creatures. Be lured by the sweet smell of cotton candy and ice-cream, and find yourself in an otherworldly circus tent where you’ll come face-to-face with the sinister klowns. You’ll never think of those sweet treats in the same way again!

As guests make their way through the Big Top Space-Ship, they’ll witness klowns making cotton candy cocoons from unsuspecting victims. You may even become their next gooey snack… 

As you pass from one shrieking klown to the next, going through the doomed community of Crescent Cove, you’ll finally end up in an eerie amusement park that is closed for the season. The maze leaves you trapped in a terrifying funhouse full of killer klowns - and there’s no stopping this twisted three-ring circus.

The latest maze announcement joins a host of other attractions already announced for the annual Halloween event. Other mazes include Netflix’s Stranger Things, Yeti: Terror of the Yukon, and Ghosbusters, among others.


The event returns to Universal Orlando Resort on Friday September 6. Further details and the remaining attractions will be announced soon.

Here’s the official description of the house: “There’s nothing funny about these Killer Klowns who’re back to make gooey, out of this world snacks out of you and your scream squad. If ever there’s a reason people are afraid of clowns, this is it.”

A repeat house from 2019, the difference in location lends this house an edge with a better layout, allowing for better sight lines and a more clear flow without dead space.

Many of the sets, props, and costumes are reused from the last time Killer Klowns was offered, but somehow it feels bright and new, even better than its first time out.

In honesty, however, this could be from a deeper knowledge of the film since its first Halloween Horror Nights appearance. We first went through this maze in 2019 having not seen the film, and then went home to watch it and visited the event again two weeks later.

It was a night and day difference as to the understanding and enjoyment of the house the second time through.

Now, three years later, we have seen the film a few more times and are more familiar with it than when the house first debuted. This could contribute to how much we enjoyed the house this year.

That being said, the layout is different than 2019, almost entirely reversed in fact, and it just fits together better this time around.

We highly recommend watching the film prior to experiencing this house, but know that you are getting a better house at its core this time than last time.

Is Killer Klowns from Outer Space supposed to be scary?

Several intentionally goofy jumpscares happen in the film. Only 2 of them are actually scary. The Klowns themselves, although comical in appearance, look very creepy and grotesque.

Will there be a new Killer Klowns from Outer Space?

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X in early 2023.

What was the town in Killer Klowns from Outer Space?

The Chiodo Brothers agree that the attraction is as close as fans can get to being on the set of the movie, which was filmed on the Central Coast of California. Set in the fictional town of Crescent Cove, the film follows alien clowns and their circus tent-like spaceship when it crashes to Earth.

Is Killer Klowns from Outer Space worth watching?

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a fun and occasionally unsettling cult film that is well worth a watch for B movie enthusiasts or horror fans. A far more interesting horror movie threat than they have any right to be, and that's all thanks to the cleverness of the Chiodo boys.
