Attention all killer clown hopefuls! Twisted Clown University is now open for enrollment. Read on to see more photos inside this haunted house at Universal Studios Singapore’s Halloween Horror Nights 9.
SPOILER WARNING
Photos of Twisted Clown University, a haunted house attraction at USS Halloween Horror Nights 9, are featured here to showcase its design and atmosphere. This is also a page for fans to share their thoughts.
Photography and video recording is not permitted inside any Haunted Houses at Universal Studios Singapore during Halloween Horror Nights.
Overview and Thoughts
Clowns have often appeared at Singapore’s Halloween Horror Nights as it’s a rather common fear. Guests with coulrophobia have not been spared in the event’s 9-year run, with only two exceptions: HHN5 is a ‘clown-free’ year, and last year’s event was nearly clown-free, with one lone rookie attending DEAD Talks. The last time USS had a FULL Clown themed house was Jack’s 3-Dementia (HHN4), which is also the first and only haunted house with 3D glasses in Singapore.
Twisted Clown University seems to have it all this year – a compelling story, expressive characters, colourful sets and dramatic transitions. With the unusual luxury of space at the Waterworld queue, this is also the largest haunted house, and feels almost twice as long as the rest.
Every class in the University is run by an different instructor ‘clown’, and I thought that gave each scene it’s own style of scares: from Mrs Messy’s and Patty Patches’ creepy dressing room, to the shocking ‘stunt’ training by Mr Whoopsie. A trio of carnies instruct the art of managing deadly games, with loud and startling effects.
The scenes often take a surreal turn, whether it’s with its morbidly vibrant design, or the unusual transitions that simulates walking in and out of tents in a carnival. There are surprises littered in many scenes, including a few fakeout moments, making this house quite a fun one even for HHN regulars. And just when you thought the nightmare has ended at graduation, there’s a few more corridors punishing you for your failure, and then a grim invitation to return.
Deranged clowns also make an appearance at the Haunted Halloween Carnival, completing thrill seekers’ encounters with the red-nosed killers this year.
Step right up! Enroll inside now!
Welcome to the world’s first and only Twisted Clown University, where you may hope to transform into a killer clown and graduate. You must promise not to fail!
Your first stop: Orientation. Fill up your registration forms here.
Pay attention, and don’t let Ring Leader Rusty catch you dozing off!
All new students need to sign up for the Intro to Mime module, taught by Mr Zippit.
If you can’t keep quiet, he’ll get your mouth sewn shut.
Don’t forget to sign up for clubs! Make friends! Get bonus credit!
Now to change your look…
Patty Patches is ready to help Clown You Up! But can you find Mrs Messy here?
Mrs Scary Mary is now taking new students in her Puppeteering module.
But before you can meet her for class, a dead ventriloquist’s puppet comes alive – taunting you.
You meet the instructor herself, who has also prepared a giant puppet to surprise you.
Learn Death Defying Acts from Mr Whoopsie, if you can dodge his daggers!
In every class, there are rules. Make sure you find them and follow them, if you hope to survive.
The tent leads you outside, and you walk into an open cage…
Something has broken out.
Next lesson: Carnie Training by Mr HoHo, Mr HeHe and Mr Haha.
Don’t get too close to these carnival stalls, as there are much worse games to play.
Don’t forget the rules!
You’re almost at the entrance of the abandoned carnival – is there a way out here?
Mr Haha says NO!
The only way forward is to go back in. Finally, you’ve completed your training, or is it?
Could you leave?
Before you could wander further – it’s time for graduation!
Did you pass? What happens if you fail?
Detention for you!
Failure was never an option. You promised at the start.
And now, more clowns have arrived to catch you. There’s no escape!
But if you do make it out… You may try to re-enroll again.
