Killer Klowns Terrify Again at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights

The Killer Klowwwnnssss-oooooooo from Outer Space are coming back to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando.

What's Happening:

• In what appears to be an announcement for a scare zone, the Killer Klowns from Outer Space are coming to the street of Universal Orlando for this year's Halloween Horror Nights.
• Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a 1988 cult horror-comedy that follows a group of bizarre alien clowns who invade a small town and capture residents using twisted circus-themed weapons and cotton candy cocoons.
• UPDATE: We've now learned more details about what the Killer Klowns will be up to. They'll feature in a scare zone called Downtown Clowntown, that will also feature Art the Clown from Terrifier and other terrifying clowns.
• The city that never sleeps becomes a waking nightmare when it’s overrun by Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Art the Clown and other clownsfolk who can’t wait to tear you limb from limb. 
• The description seems to place this scare zone squarely within the New York section of Universal Studios Florida.

• This is far from the first time that the evil clowns from the cult classic film of the same name have appeared at Halloween Horror Nights.
• They first appeared in a scare zone during Halloween Horror Nights 28 in Orlando, before going on to get their own house in both Orlando and Hollywood in 2019.
• Said house returned to Hollywood for an encore run in 2022.
• More details on the what we can expect from the Killer Klowns this year will be shared soon.
