Joker was pulled from this last second btw. I'm always right. Trust me dawg.

Why so serious?

What about Harley?

Stop clowning around.

Now if you excuse me, I have to get into my tiny car.

Will Hollywood Harry be in there

Will Hollywood Harry be in there

That would actually be a really cool way to bring West Coast to the East Coast.

Aiello tweet confirmed no more IP clowns, rest will be originals.

If I am wrong, then I am wrong; but considering what I have heard in regards to Hollywood's plans--my assumption with the element of Terrifer is that of nothing *Really* being effected in the way some of y'all have been.

Once again, it isn't shocking to me if I get things off; but I suspect Orlando always just had Art The Clown planned on the start to be on his own--and that with him on his own terms (and with no other Terrifer characters), that it always makes sense to have him listed as his own.

If it was that serious of a issue, then we wouldn't be having Dead By Daylight openly touting the Terrifier IP fully as coming in November.

As we know, a license for a video game made by a Canadian company that peaks at about 65,000 users and employs less than 1500 people is the same as NBC/Universal.

Decided to make two different versions, one including the IP characters and one without; so that way people can use both either/which way they wish~​

I suspect the truth may lie somewhere in the middle. It does seem that the announcement of Clown Town and Art was delayed, although it is possible that it may have been Universal performing due diligence to ensure they are okay to use the property, rather than them facing direct legal action from Ruthless Studios that they were forced to navigate.

I also don't think them using "Art the Clown" instead of "Terrifier" is out of the ordinary as you mentioned, and I don't anticipate that they are restricted in that regard, but we'll have a better idea of whether or not that is the case when Hollywood announces their offerings.

This zone is such a fun idea! I think this will attract a lot of crowds that are going to look for interactions with all these characters.

I personally don’t care that Universal awkwardly announced Killer Klowns and then announced them again a week later as part of this zone with Art. They figured out a plan eventually.

If we are seriously getting Chance, I personally think that’s going to be so cool. Chance was my first Icon 10 years ago at HHN 2016.

A few months ago, I went and saw Jack & Chance at Horror Unleashed: Las Vegas and I would love to see them back at their home event.

The name could use a little work lol

It’s my favorite part

Per Aiello's tweet, it's an inside joke. So at least they're seemingly aware of the silliness.

 

[Viator]

I love the name. It's the type of dumb fun one expects with a simple nature.

 

[Myah1220]

I actually really like the name lol. It's simple and describes what it is.

This zone certainly has the potential to be an all time favourite. If nothing else it’s going to be a lot of fun.

I’m curious about some of the comments regarding the ambition of the zone and it occurring in all four boroughs. This is really cool in concept and I wonder if we will see some set pieces that are iconic to the boroughs or if this is more of a superficial concept whereby each borough will simply have its own unique clown posse.

As an aside you’ve got to hand it to creative. After years of sub par scare zones I thought last year marked a change of course. This year has great potential. It’s seems as though they’ve listened to feedback insofar as the zones go.

I am so so excited for this zone. Art and the Killer Klowns being in here make me very happy. I also spent a lot of time going to the circus with family as a kid so this is my most anticipated zone
