"Halloween Horror Nights fans persuaded the Universal creative team behind the wildly-popular seasonal event to create a maze based on a no budget indie slasher film after seeing so many attendees wearing Art the Clown t-shirts. The Terrifier haunted houses will be part of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood on select nights Sept. 4 to Nov. 2 and Universal Orlando on Aug. 29 to Nov. 2."
"Halloween Horror Nights creative director John Murdy doesn't rely on guest surveys to gauge what's in the zeitgeist and where to turn for the next Horror Nights maze. I look at what the guests are wearing to the event, Murdy said during a preview tour of the Terrifier maze. Starting in 2022, Horror Nights fans began showing up in t-shirts with Art the Clown the demonic serial killer at the center of the then burgeoning Terrifier slasher franchise."
Fans persuaded Universal to produce a maze based on the low-budget indie slasher Terrifier after large numbers of attendees wore Art the Clown t-shirts. The Terrifier haunted houses will appear at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood on select nights Sept. 4 to Nov. 2 and at Universal Orlando Aug. 29 to Nov. 2. Creative Director John Murdy evaluates guest attire rather than surveys to identify which properties to adapt. Murdy grew up during the 1970s and 80s Golden Age of Slasher Films and says iconic slasher characters had faded until Art the Clown revived that archetype. Damien Leone is credited as creator, director and writer, with Phil Falcone producing.
