As Halloween approaches and Universal Studios celebrates the season, it comes with the realization every year that the perfect modern horror movie franchise already exists in their theme parks. A creator of classic horrors and iconic nightmares for almost a century, Universal has struggled to upkeep that tradition of terror on the big screen in recent years. However, terrorizing thrill-seekers for decades, the future of fear rests in worlds of twisted steel, crazed carnivals, and fears made real by Universal’s theme parks.Officially christened in 1992, Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights brought tricks, treats, and high-tier haunted house attractions to theme parks around the globe. Although previously featuring figures like Rat Lady and HBO horror host The Cryptkeeper, it was in 2000 that Halloween Horror Nights unleashed Jack the Clown, an iconic new horror villain who changed the Halloween season forever. Since then, Jack was joined by figures like the operatic Usher, the dangerous Director, and the seductive Lady Luck, bringing new mythology to their ever-evolving Halloween celebrations.The Universal Monsters will always be a beloved part of horror history, and there’s no denying that their films are some of the greatest to grace the silver screen. However, Universal’s recent attempts to modernize them have left audiences disappointed. While many may mourn the possibilities lost by revisiting the classic monsters in a modern setting, there were lessons learned and new opportunities created for perhaps one of the most epic horror comebacks of all time.Related: Werewolf by Night’s Violence in Color References a Bloodier Era of Horror
