Universal Orlando has confirmed the icons and theme for Halloween Horror Nights 35: the Infernal Carnival of Nightmares. The announcement came during a panel at MegaCon Orlando, where Universal officially revealed that Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow are both returning as Icons for this year's event.
Along with the icons, Universal revealed the first original haunted house of HHN 35: Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos and Control. The house brings the long-standing conflict between the two characters to life for the first time, dropping guests into the unsettling origins of their rivalry. The premise: as chaos and control collide, the two Icons battle for dominance.
For HHN fans, Jack the Clown is the original Icon of the event — he first appeared at HHN X in 2000 and has remained one of the most recognizable figures in the franchise. His pairing with Dr. Oddfellow sets up what sounds like a deeper mythology-driven experience than typical licensed IP houses.
HHN 35 runs select nights from August 28 through November 1 at Universal Studios Florida. Tickets are on sale now starting at $88. Plan your HHN trip here.
