== History & Location ==
On August 14th, 2014: Universal announced [[Clowns 3D: Music by Slash]] was coming to the event.

The maze was located in the [[Mummy Queue]]

== Description ==
''Legendary guitarist and horror aficionado, Slash, has teamed up with Halloween Horror Nights to bring a frightening new sound to this original 3D maze. Welcome to Clowns 3D: Music by Slash, where you will experience a mind-blowing, sensory overload of your darkest fears. A dilapidated roadside attraction that was once a thriving ice cream factory awaits you. Once you step through the funhouse doors, you quickly realize this establishment is run by psychotic clowns who have murderous designs on their unsuspecting patrons. This place is really a hellish torture chamber and the key ingredient in their twisted desserts...is you!''

==Story (All tweets from HHN official Twitter) ==
We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a special message from SWEET LICKS THE CLOWN.

“Hurry…hurry…hurry! Today & today only, get your free ice cream with every ticket to Sweet Licks Family Fun Center & Ice Cream Emporium!  …that’s right boys and girls…FREE ICE CREAM…Delicious and nutritious, ALL NATURAL..HIGH PROTEIN…get some yummies for your tummies…turn that frown upside down with a tasty treat! Sweet Licks Frozen Clown Pops! It’s all FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!  Hurry down to Sweet Licks Family Fun Center & Ice Cream Emporium! Just step inside and the fun begins! Get yours before they’re all gone!”

Hard times have fallen on [[Sweet Licks the Clown]], the proprietor of “[[Sweet Licks Family Fun Center and Ice Cream Emporium]].”  The country’s obsession with low-calorie diet fads have crippled the formerly successful ice cream factory/roadside attraction.  Sweet Licks’ failing company is down to just 2 employees, his mentally challenged son [[Bubba]], and his psychologically damaged daughter [[Cutty]].

With Sweet Lick’s company teetering on the verge of bankruptcy, something drastic must be done to save the family business!  But you can never keep a clown down for long and Sweet Licks has come up with an ingenious plan to pump some life into his slumping sales.  The solution?  A fabulous publicity stunt that will generate renewed interest in his moribund company. FREE ICE CREAM!!!!

For one day only, Sweet Licks is offering free tickets to his amusement center and free ice cream for all!  What the unsuspecting public doesn’t know is Sweet Lick’s publicity stunt is really a murderous plot to create a new brand of “All Natural High Protein” ice cream using people as the key ingredient!

But who will serve Sweet Licks’ ice cream? The United States is experiencing a “clown crisis” with trade membership at an all time low!  But Sweet Licks has a plan for this, too: create a new clown work force by stitching together the discarded body parts of his human victims!  With hordes of hungry guests already lining up, the irresistible temptation of free ice cream has proved to be the perfect trap!

I SCREAM….YOU SCREAM…WE ALL SCREAM FOR…ICE CREAM!
==Experience==

===Facade===
The facade was the [[Sweet Licks Family Fun Center and Ice Cream Emporium]] that is a clowns mouth with the eyes spinning and air dryers in the background. Guests then enter the clowns mouth.

===Haunted Maze===
Guests enter the red and blue hallways of the Sweet Licks Family Fun Center and Ice Cream Emporium where there are portraits hung up of the owner, [[Sweet Licks the Clown]], his daughter, [[Cutty]], and his son, [[Bubba]]. 

Guests enter a mirror maze where lights show clowns behind the mirrors and Sweet Licks pulls the mirror back and scares guests. Guests then see a clown that looks like [[Slash]] behind a wall. Guests see a arrow on the wall pointing wall saying ''Free Ice Cream.''  

Guests pass a mirror with a mannequin and then pass a mirror where Bubba pulls back the mirror and scares guests. Guests also see Cutty behind a mirror which she pulls back and scares guests. Guests pass more mirrors with mannequins behind them before exiting the Family Fun Center. 

Guests approach the [[Sweet Licks Frozen Clown Pops Factory]] where there is a [[Sweet Licks Ice Cream Truck]] outside the building. Cutty would occasionally pop out from behind the truck to slash a knife at guests. From a door next to the factory's entrance, Bubba then pops out at guests with a sledgehammer before guests enter the building. 

Guests go down a hallway with pipes and a static figure of a clown with a machete.  

Guests enter the factory to see the lights flickering on and off and frozen hanging bodies and mutilated body parts, frozen and covered in blood along with barrels of ice cream with the names of their disturbing flavors written on them. Cutty will wander the scene popping out at guests and Sweet Licks will burst out with a chainsaw. 

Guests enter a black hallway. Guests then enter a bathroom with cages filled with people being force fed candy until their stomachs burst, two women vomiting in toilets and sinks, toilets, and urinals filled with vomit and candy. Sweet Licks pops out in between 2 cages at guests. Bubba pops out at guests before they exit the scene. 

Guests then enter the Vomitorium where all of the vomit is stored and the lights flicker on and off. There is a [[Vomit Monster]] that blends in with the scenic that then pops out at guests.  

Guests then enter the Torture Chambers where Cutty is shown electrocuting a man where it shows his skeleton and bones underneath his skin. Guests then enter a room where Bubba pops out from the left and on the right is someone is tied down to a chair being cut up by Cutty and Sweet Licks is pulling Intestines out of a man screaming for help.  

Guests then go down a short hallway with hanging body parts. Guests enter a scene surrounded by body parts where Sweet Licks is shown with a chainsaw cutting someone in half. Bubba pops out at guests from behind a wall.  

Upon exiting the torture chambers, guests are almost run over by a car full of Sweet Licks' clown workers. Guests go down a hallway and Sweet Licks jumps out from behind a wall panel. Guests then exit the maze.

==Trivia==

*The maze was inspired by fad diets and an article about how circus attendance was plummeting, so Murdy made the family a bunch of out of work clowns who open an ice cream parlour/family fun center after their circus careers dry up. Only to watch their business crumble because everyone is so health conscious. <ref>https://twitter.com/john_murdy/status/1308862199671250947?s=20</ref>.
*Sweet Licks got his name from an ice cream van picture vehicle the HHN Team got from the Will Farrell film “''Land of the Lost.''” They used it as a prop for the [[Klownz]] scarezone. For some reason it had the words “Sweet Licks” painted on the side. Murdy thought it was a perfectly creepy clown name. <ref>https://twitter.com/john_murdy/status/1308867502399795202?s=20</ref>.
*Murdy based the voicing for [[Sweet Licks the Clown]] on Julian Beck who played Kane in Poltergeist 2. <ref>https://twitter.com/john_murdy/status/1308872619266060292?s=20</ref>.
*Murdy also liked the idea of him being half frozen, spending way too much time in an ice cream factory, which gave his voice a strange quiver. <ref>https://twitter.com/john_murdy/status/1308872619266060292?s=20</ref>.
*[[Cutty]]'s look was Murdy thinking that being raised by Sweet Licks would screw her up so he made her obsessed with cutting herself (and others) with SLASHes (pun intended) across her face & body and the huge clown smile cut into her face. <ref>https://twitter.com/john_murdy/status/1308874546532028421?s=20</ref>.
*[[Bubba]] is a combination of silent film star Fatty Arbuckle, Lennie from Of Mice and Men & a dash of Leatherface. He’s obsessed with cats & like Lennie, his overly aggressive petting snaps their necks. That’s why he wears the Ben Cooper-esque mask & has dead cats around his neck. <ref>https://twitter.com/john_murdy/status/1308877036396646401?s=20</ref>.
*The facade was designed it with spinning hypnotist wheels for eyes with hair inspired by used car lot “air dancers.” <ref>https://twitter.com/john_murdy/status/1308878548548161543?s=20</ref>.
*The disemboweled victim intestines effect was designed to work like the “magician’s handkerchief” illusion so the performer could just keep going. <ref>https://twitter.com/john_murdy/status/1308884986842492929?s=20</ref>.
* The Clown Car Scare was inspired by ''Mr Toad's Wild Ride''. <ref>https://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201409/4207/</ref>.
*The track Sweet Licks from this maze was finally released by Slash as a bonus track in a soundtrack compilation e.p. for the [[Universal Monsters: Music by Slash]] maze from [[Halloween Horror Nights 2018 (Hollywood)]]. <ref>https://twitter.com/john_murdy/status/1308891663650217992</ref>.
* There's a static clown in the Clown Car Scare that is a Tribute to Slash with the top hat. <ref>https://twitter.com/john_murdy/status/1308888097749446658?s=20</ref>.
