HHN 25 social media meet up

Well, Maniacs—you created the perfect world of mayhem throughout the past five months. You’ve recruited followers to spread the madness of Jack far and wide. You’ve celebrated 25 years of horror history at Halloween Horror Nights 25. You’ve craved the carnage and he noticed. Jack the Clown definitely noticed.

Because of their dedication on Twitter and Facebook, 200 fans joined a horde of fellow Maniacs for a special gathering on Sunday, November 1—The Last Laugh: A Social Media Meet-Up. Here’s a look at what happened…

Entering the front gates, fans followed the clues only they could recognize. The Jack Symbol marked the ground indicating the direction to take, leading to the next icon and ultimately to the destination.

From there, they entered the world of chaos that was adorned with circus décor flanked by buffets and bars. MASKerade dancers greeted guests, a live band filled the room with creepy tunes and everyone had a chance to paint their face as a true Maniac.

Then, in the midst of celebration, a slow chant began to rise. As the Maniac proclamation crescendoed, a spotlight appeared. Flanked by #HHN25 horrors, the Clown Prince of Chaos and his companion, Chance, addressed their followers with a mixture of disdain and admiration. He then challenged the loyalty of the group and found one to sacrifice for their cause… for Jack.
