Sinister Clowns is a longtime recurring scare zone during Fright Fest at Six Flags St. Louis which typically features a camp or circus of evil, killer clowns. The zone has undergone many name changes over the years, among the names for the zone being Sinister Clowns of the Blacktop prior to 2012, Sinister Clown Compound in 2012, and 7 Deadly Clown Sins in 2017, when the zone was merged with the former The Seven Deadly Sins attraction. Sinister Clowns has been located in front of Pandemonium in the Britannia section of the park since 2017, though it had previously been next to Fred Lloyd's Candy Storm in the Gateway to the West section in 2016, in Batman Plaza in 2014 and 2015, and in the Westerntown area in 2012 and 2013, the last two locations being within Studio Backlot.
