What I love about Jack is that he embraces the clown part of "evil clown." He's scary, sadistic, and monstrous--but he also has a sense of humour and snark, and it makes his stage shows all the more enjoyable. I feel like a lot of evil clowns really miss out on the comedy aspect.

I love it when Jack tells jokes. I think I remember watching an video or two of him heckling "the workers of Walmart" in the crowd, that got a laugh out of me. Also the one time someone called out Beetlejuice as a suggestion for the face painting section of the first show. He told them "his ass is on the other side of the park" and "I wipe my ass with his striped suit!" Which is ironic because James Keaton played Beetlejuice at one point in the graveyard revue show.

My favorite clown horror movie is Killer Klowns from outer space. They were creepy, malicious aliens bent on consuming the human populace of a small town. However, they're also clowns. The web their victims in cotton candy, use killer puppets and balloon dogs, and sail in a literal 'big top' ufo They're a perfect balance of clown and monster

It takes a true actor to have a sense of humor while being evil.... and then turn it all off at the end of the night. I applaud you Mr. James for your role of Jack and the many roles you play around the parks during normal season.

When I started work at Universal in 2001 the 2 guys who taught my orientation were Kenny Bobol (Jack the clown) and Bryce Ward ( The Caretaker). It was awesome

Halloween Horror Nights is the reason I go to Universal yearly. Jack is cool, and I doubt they’ll ever create an icon more iconic than him. Then again, aside from anniversaries I think Universal is sadly moving away from the icons and doing loose themes. Hell, 2018 and 19 were basically the 80s part 1 and 2.

I loved the 80s theme. I could see them doing a 90s theme in the future. But I feel like more icon based years are coming.

The story of the discovery of Jack's corpse is based on another real-life event, one that actually involved Universal: The discovery of the dried-out corpse of gunslinger Elmer McCurdy in a carnival dark ride during the shooting of the Six Million Dollar Man.

That 80s synth theme at the beginning and end is a bop, great work!

I worked a miserable job in food service during a HHN (2010) and often encountered the poor scare actors in the locker rooms. They would tell me how they kept getting hit by visitors and how hard the shifts were on their bodies. I hope these days they receive proper medical insurance (not a nurse station visit) for the injuries they receive during their hard, honest and underpaid work. Also fun fact: the original Dreamfinder (Ron Schneider) writes for HHN.

I love when any creepy dark ride story revolves around finding a real corpse in a haunted house, because that's absolutely based on a real true crime case (Look up Elmer McCurdy & the $6 Million Dollar Man if you haven't heard of it 😳).

Jack's character design is really top notch! I love his hair, his costumes strike a balance between imposing and silly, and his personality gives him a crazy charisma that wraps up his entire aesthetic into some sort of haunted Jack-in-the-box. I didn't know this character even existed before I watched this video just now, but two of the snippets of him shown at the beginning (1:14 - 1:31) already sold me on his character.

Love the use of "It Was Always You, Helen" (at 18:37)

Favorite and greatest horror nights icon ever. He’s literally the heart and soul of that event

While I'm too much of a weenie to actually go to these events, I still love learning about the events. Kinda wish the website have more detailed pages like they used to... Maybe do Bloody Mary next? Just don't say her name three times...

I'm an aspiring actor and one of the "easiest" ways of becoming a well-established actor in Hollywood is by starting with horror movies (they are fairly easy to book and scripts are in endless supply) however I have struggled with severe anxiety disorder all my life and hhn and behind the scenes of hhn and horror movies is how i bridge both sides of me. so thanks for helping me with that! (and no growing up I wasn't allowed to watch anything remotely scary and tbh that did not help the anxiety just perpetuated the fear of the unknown)

I love when expedition does spooky 🖤

I never knew this before, Thanks brother ☺️

25 was the only HHR I’ve been too, and can confirm was very good

Although the media was given a flash drive the previous year you forgot to mention the very fun way when Jack's full reveal would happen. When me & two other fans were sent a box of popcorn from Jack himself in the mail that had writings all over the inside that when all 3 were put together revealed when the video with his new look was to be revealed. Looking forward to the Legendary Truth video. If you need screen caps of the final leader board after the 2013 games feel free to drop me a line.
