Clowns of Death and Horror

So the summer is coming to an end and Fall is almost here - which means Halloween and haunt season! I cannot contain myself as we have spent over 1,000 hours recreating Bloody Fun - the Clown Attraction at Dr. Haunt's Chamber of Fear and although I might be bias... it is the Best Haunted House Clown Attraction in America!

As the designer of this haunted house I have found myself scared - yes one night when locking up I carried scissors to protect myself from these clowns from Hell. Yes, my friends would laugh at me - what haunt manager is afraid of clowns well if you had 6,000 square feet of clowns; 100 portraits of clowns looking at you; and then all these dang clown dummies looking at you... I think you too would carry scissors, a cross, or a gun. But of course none of these are known to stop psycho clowns!

So anyway after 1,000 hours and over 40 different people putting in there two cents we are done with 6,000 square feet and are up to 80 pennies and the psysco Best Haunted House Attraction in Texas!!!

The amazing thing is this is our #2 attraction out of three attractions. Of course we still have Dr. Haunt's Chamber of Fears which is the Nationally Ranked Haunted House.

So if IT or Bozo makes you go in your pants then my friends Dr. Haunt's Bloody Fun is a place where you should where depends. For those that say Clowns aint scary... I dare you to try it because we will make a pant's-wetter out of you!

The Clowns




Have you ever wondered why so many people are afraid of clowns? Maybe it is because I am in the haunted house industry that I have notice this but what's the deal.

As a child people have these at kids birthday parties for entertainment. You go a circus and the clown car gets the most laughs from everyone so why in the world are the clowns also the most feared in the haunted house. The only thing scarier then a clown in the haunted house is a clown with a chainsaw.

You know I can think of scarier things - snakes, death, the grimreaper, a demon, or a person posses by a demon - yet all of these things are known to be scary and never make their way to a kids birthday party and yet the clown does.

For a generation out there known as Generation X - the movie It! is the reason most are afraid fo clowns but for me - it really just scaried me of any person or beast coming up through a community shower. Yes, I was the freak in middle school that did not want to be left alone in the shower room for fear of this scary guy coming up through the shower drain. Most other middle school kids after gym were afraid of their peers seeing them naked in the shower while I did not want to be alone!

Of course, that same generation and the Generation Next also have Krusty the Clown to look to from the Simpsons. A clown that is overweight, smokes, and kinda looks like a drag queen acting to be a guy. Yes, I'll admit that is scary!

So the next time you are at a haunted house and see a clown, just think he's that drag-queen we call Krusty and I bet you will not be as scared. And when you hear that clown music just know that death is waiting for you especially if your at Dr. Haunt's Bloody Fun attraction.
