ORLANDO, Fla \u2013 The 35 th edition of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando will be a battle royale… Or will it?<\/p>\n
Some of HHN\u2019s creative team unveiled a first look at the event at MEGACON Orlando Saturday. <\/p>\n
The theme? Infernal Carnival of Nightmares, aka ICON.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know we love to bring back an icon in an anniversary year,\u201d said Lora Sauls, assistant director of entertainment creative development and show direction.<\/p>\n
This year we are getting double trouble — Jack the Clown and Oddfellow, two of the biggest icons of HHN are returning and this time they are working together to bring new levels of fear. <\/p>\n
Exactly how long that will last is anyone\u2019s guess. After all, these two have a history, and that will be on display in their new haunted house, which the team also unveiled Saturday: Jack and Oddfellow: Control and Chaos.<\/p>\n
And the titular characters came out for a brief cameo.<\/p>\n
But again, these guys may be partnering to tell Jack\u2019s story, but they are not friends <\/p>\n
\u201cWho would win in a battle?\u201d Asked Charles Gray, Senior Show Director of Entertainment Creative Development. \u201cJack and Oddfellow are two sides of the same coin… But it lands on an edge.\u201d<\/p>\n
The event is set to take place on select nights August 28 through November 1. <\/p>\n
