Jack the Clown returns as the demented face of Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights as the world's premier Halloween event commemorates its 30th year - and select tickets and vacation packages are now on sale inviting guests to stay, scream and save. Halloween Horror Nights kicks off on Friday, September 3 and continues on select nights through Sunday, October 31, 2021.

As the sun sets on days filled with thrills in all of Universal's theme parks, the night awakens with a frightening chill at Universal Studios Florida. Just as in horror films where the first to wander off meets a terrible fate, you'll want to bring a friend with you to share the screams and watch your back as you make your way through the horror. You definitely need someone to cling to, someone to hide behind, somebody to panic with as you enter mind-ripping haunted houses inspired by the biggest names in horror. Face nightmarish creatures on streets twisted into sinister scare zones. Lose yourselves in outrageous live entertainment filled with diabolical surprises. Then escape to some of Universal Studios Florida's most exhilarating attractions.

This year's event marks the return of Jack the Clown as well, spreading chaos and lunging from the shadows where you least expect. Nobody living or dead is responsible for more laughter, screams and maniacal madness over the past 30 years than Jack. So heed this warning if you plan to dare the terrors of Halloween Horror Nights: never go alone.

The most notorious icon in event history, Jack's return to Halloween Horror Nights 2021 will be fraught with terror and fear as the grisly circus clown invades every corner of this year's event with unsuspecting "Jack Attacks" that will send guests running for their lives. His ominous and unrelenting presence will infiltrate every aspect of the event - from the streets, to the haunted houses to the places guests would least expect - leaving nowhere to turn and nowhere to hide.

Select tickets are on sale now for Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights, featuring a variety of ways for guests to customize their visit to stay, scream and save. Guests can save up to $52 on a single night event ticket when purchasing online, and book various event upgrades like the R.I.P. Tours, a guided tour experience that provides priority V.I.P. access to the haunted houses; Behind the Screams: Unmasking the Horror Tours, a daytime, lights-on tour of the haunted houses that offers a glimpse into how the scares are brought to life; and more.

Guests can also save up to $200 on vacation packages, starting at $149 per person, per night (based on a family of four), that include hotel accommodations, tickets to Universal Orlando's theme parks and one-night admission to Halloween Horror Nights 2021. Universal Orlando hotel guests also receive exclusive benefits, including access to a dedicated entry gate for the event (with valid event admission), complimentary transportation to Universal's theme parks and Universal CityWalk, and access to an all-new, limited-time "Jack'd Up" experience at Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort - where guests get a closer look into the chaotic world of Jack and some of the sinister environments inspired by his past invasions of Halloween Horror Nights. Plus, the hotel's Swizzle Lounge lobby bar will transform into the "Horror Icons Bar," featuring specialty beverages and snacks inspired by the event's most infamous icons, and props and costumes that pay an eerie homage to Halloween Horror Nights past.

For more than 30 years, Universal Orlando has immersed guests in amazing "woah" moments that free them from the stress of their worlds. Across the award-winning destination, they can let go and live in the moment with those they care about most as they embark on incredible theme park adventures, like causing mischief with the Minions from Illumination's "Despicable Me," coming face-to-face with ferocious dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, walking the corridors of Hogwarts castle in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and so much more.
