Happy Time Circus is a map by Ray Schmitz (shitbag), released in 2005. It received a special award at that year's Cacowards, under the category What the Hell!? as "the strangest level released this year".

shitbag credited the concept to his brother, who mentioned "a circus level that would scare little kids". The mod features numerous custom enemies, garish set design with strobing light effects, and an evil clown inspired by the film IT.
