7. Killer Klowns from Outer Space haunted house announced for Halloween Horror Nights

Universal Orlando Resort has announced yet another house for this year's Halloween Horror Nights event: Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Here's the official synopsis of the house:

If ever there was a reason why people are afraid of Klowns, this is it. The Killer Klowns from Outer Space have landed in an all-new haunted house. There’s nothing funny about these strange, klown-like creatures who use side-splitting antics and weird alien technology to devour their victims. Don’t let them encase you in one of their cotton candy cocoons or you could end up as a gooey snack. One gag is ghastlier than the next as they have you shrieking from clown to clown like some twisted three-ring circus. These Killer Klowns won’t make you scream with laughter–just scream.
