Chance Returns

Chance

Chance is a recurring figure at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando. She is Jack the Clown's assistant, and was the icon of 2016’s event.

Appearances at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando[]

Chance first appeared in Jack's Carnival of Carnage, a live show that was featured during Halloween Horror Nights: Carnival of Carnage in 2007. Three years later, during 2010's Halloween Horror Nights: Twenty Years of Fear, she appeared in the scarezone Fear Revealed along with Jack, as well as showing up in the haunted house titled Horror Nights: The Hallow'd Past. In 2014, she was briefly mentioned by Jack at Jack's Nightmare Circus during Halloween Horror Nights 4 in Singapore.

During Halloween Horror Nights 25, Jack and Chance came back to celebrate the kill in their new show The Carnage Returns. Halloween Horror Nights 26 gave Chance a redesign that includes diamond-shaped scars, multicolored hair, a corset, and golden eyes (though it's currently unclear if she has any connections to the supernatural).

On June 9th, 2016 it was revealed by Universal Studios that, Chance would be the icon for Halloween Horror Nights 26. That year she had her own house: Lunatic's Playground 3D: You Won't Stand a Chance, and her own scarezone: A Chance In Hell. Both; as well as the scareactor dining experience, she would appear in person while her voice would be heard in the entire park at times.

In 2021, Chance would appear alongside her fellow icons in Fear's Lantern in the HHN Icons: Captured haunted house.

In 2024, Chance would make her first appearance outside of Halloween Horror Nights Orlando and make her debut appearance alongside Jack for the Scares @ Universal (2024) at Universal Studios Beijing and also featured in the Jack's Circus haunted house during the event.

Personality[]

Chance is the right-hand woman of Jack the Clown and helped him torture people during the stage shows, though it was revealed during her icon year through promotional material that she seems to resent playing second fiddle to Jack.

Chance is shown to be quite happy-go-lucky, even manic at times, and most often has a childlike front of false innocence and speaks in a squeaky voice. She is excitable and is almost always grinning maniacally or smirking. She enjoys telling jokes and puns, even when no one else is laughing. Chance, however, is prone to fits of intense rage, and can turn on a dime from bubbly chatter to furious screaming and back again. She, in many ways, fits the giggly asylum patient/clown archetype.

Like many Halloween Horror Nights icons, Chance has quite the taste for blood, and is shown gleefully carrying out a variety of grotesque murders. Chance is also skilled in knife throwing, as we see in The Carnage Returns, though she states that she is "not a trained professional." She also seems to enjoy riling people up and watching them scream and squirm, which is particularly seen in The Carnage Returns when she taunts her and Jack's victims, particularly Amanda. She also appears to enjoy being worshipped, and Jack's Maniacs seem to fawn over her.
