Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Wesker69]

Suuuurre... OR just NOT use Jack for consistency reasons since, you know, he's got a permanent Vegas residency now

Why would that matter? Well, when Jack came back for the 25th, he was absent from Singapore where had appeared the previous year. The following year, he returned to Singapore fitted in his upgraded 25th anniversary Ringmaster attire. Yay consistency!

So if they gave Vegas a temporary "headliner", then it'd keep the illusion (no matter how lame & uncreative it is for Orlando to fall back on Jack. Again. For another anniversary).

Yes he's popular, but to rely on his presence every 5 years is really sad. It's bad enough he's in Vegas when it should've been Lady Luck's 2nd chance

Universal really needs to play with their other nightmare inducing faces of terror & torment OR create something new (preferably without auto-tune or a retcon/reworked existing character from the past). Pumpkin Lord was top-tier minus his belching.

Don’t care. I love Jack.

To that I say, why limit Mickey Mouse, when you have Mickey Mouse?

Jack *prints* money and the value of him as a character shouldn't be something I'd easily scoff off (plus in the case of say, Hollywood, we haven't had Jack in nearly 20 years. And yet in spite of that, Carnival of Carnage was arguably a vital and pivotal event because of what it meant for Hollywood outside of the New Line trio. And that, to an extent, is with Jack).

If it was used constantly each and every year, then maybe it'd get tiring; but I don't see the problem with using Jack to celebrate an "Anniversary".

Every 5 years is lazy & uncreative.

Also I'm still bitter over the 30th. Will never forgive them for ordering the Terra Queen from Temu & making Jack the focal point

Yeah, it's March. I don't need any Horror Nights news right now. Save it for when the only thing on TV is baseball [I like baseball but ... come on. All-Star week in baseball is, perhaps, the most boring-ass time of year.]

I'm good until late April - then announcement season can start ramping up. NFL Free Agency and the draft can keep me busy until then.

I’m new here so apologies if it’s not allowed to be said, but was there a major incident last year? I wasn’t really checking speculation last year like this year so I’m not sure what’s allowed and what’s not

From what I remember/understand, a document was leaked out that basically detailed every aspect of the event. Houses, zones, etc.



And as for the Jack discussion.. I am perfectly fine seeing him this year purely for the fact that I have never been to an event where Jack was present. I started attending in 2016 and missed 2021.

(Hey, my 10th anniversary of attending this year. Another anniversary!)

I’m also one of those people who started attending in 2016 and just missed seeing the big 25th anniversary festivities, featuring Jack.

Based on all the hype people still had for HHN 25, I was very excited for HHN 30, but I ended up feeling robbed by all pandemic restrictions that were still in place.

So here I am, 10 years into being a fan, hoping to see an unrestricted anniversary year for the first time. Bring on Jack.

And THIS is why they keep bringing back Jack. Jack doesn’t return for the people who’ve followed the event since the nineties (and have thus experienced him seven times already). They bring him back so frequently for the people who have never met him.

As someone who didn't start going until 2019, Jack holds no nostalgia for me and just feels like a generic and forgettable clown (please don't stone me), so when there are so many far more interesting icons they could use, it definitely feels like a bummer for them to likely use Jack again. Regardless if he's there for the OGs or for the new people to learn about him, I just didn't find him interesting in the slightest.

Or maybe I'm just jaded because the rando lady on the Facebook group that asked me to tell Jack hi for her when I posted that I was going that night. Then she proceeded to keep checking in by DMing me to ask if I told him she said hi yet. lmao

From all my research on past icons, I'd love to see the Usher come back. I know nothing has been said about him this year and I know he isn't as popular by any means, I just liked his story haha

Pop culture typically runs on a roughly 7-year cycle. Bringing Jack back every 5 years or so gives a new generation of fans the opportunity to experience the only icon who was ever truly a home run. It helps for the old-timers (I imagine the number who remember even his third appearance is limited these days) that he's used a different way each time. This isn't the Hocus Pocus show.
