HHN 35: Jack & Oddfellow Return to Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights!

Universal Orlando Resort is preparing for its 35th annual Halloween Horror Nights, set to run from August 28th through November 1st, 2026, according to announcements made by the company. The milestone anniversary will feature a new theme, “Infernal Carnival of Nightmares,” transforming Universal Studios Florida into a sinister, fear-fueled carnival environment.

This year’s event will uniquely showcase the return of two iconic figures from the event’s history: Jack the Clown, and Dr. Oddfellow. For the first time, the pair will collaborate as the event’s ringmasters, promising a heightened level of terror for attendees. Universal has revealed one of the original haunted houses planned for the event, titled “Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control,” which will delve into the origins of the rivalry between the two characters and their eventual alliance to maximize fear.

The house will explore the dynamic between chaos and control as Jack and Oddfellow navigate their longstanding conflict, ultimately discovering that a unified approach is the most effective way to achieve their shared goal of terrifying guests.

Merchandise commemorating the 35th anniversary of Halloween Horror Nights is currently available online, featuring a new graphic depicting Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow under a menacing circus tent. Items available include blankets, t-shirts, hockey jerseys, crop tops, and hoodies, with some products already experiencing high demand and selling out quickly.

Tickets for Halloween Horror Nights 35 will be available for purchase in the near future, Universal Orlando has stated. The event is celebrating a significant anniversary, marking 35 years of the Halloween Horror Nights experience at Universal Orlando Resort.
