Universal's Halloween Horror Nights: 10 Things You Need To Know

by Jen Gallie

1. The Icons

Since 2000, Universal Studios have used a horror icon as their terrifying mascot to be the face of their event. From famous faces such as Chucky and Leatherface, to their own home grown talent of The Storyteller, the Director, these characters have gone down in legend as to what the whole Universal horror experience is all about. Halloween Horror Nights' most popular icon is the master of ceremonies, Jack the Clown. Jack was created in house at Universal's Entertainment€™s Art and Design team and has a whole, gruesome back story. He's known for killing his victims in way that befits his crazy sense of humour. Will Jack be back in 2016? What a terrifying thought. Make sure to check out HalloweenHorrorNights.com for all the latest information detailing this year's events.
