Overview

  • At Midsummer Scream, HHN's John Murdy and Michael Aiello shared new design and operations details with the Terrifier creators.
  • Key characters confirmed to appear include Art the Clown, Vicky, the Little Pale Girl, and Sienna Shaw.
  • Both mazes open on the “safer” clown side, with Hollywood featuring an in-person Art reveal and Orlando using a screen and a revised façade to distinguish it from Jack the Clown.
  • Set pieces will lean into graphic, practical effects that leave guests very wet, with Orlando offering a route to bypass the intense finale.
  • Art the Clown will roam freely across both parks during HHN 2025, and tickets are on sale for Orlando Aug. 29–Nov. 2 and Hollywood Sept. 4–Nov. 2.
