AshleyBoo Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Hi I am new to this forum! My name is Ashley. And this year was my first time going to horror nights, and I had a blast. Definiely going to come again next year. But i do have a question, i had this encounter with Jack the Clown. When i was going up to Jack to take a picture by his photobooth, he looked at me and i do believe he said Mmm...titillating. And im guessing thats just how his character is but i just feel like it was a little inappropriate. But i dont want any trouble, i had a very good time at horror nights. I just would like to know if scareactors are allowed to say things like that and am i the only one? thank you all very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I would say if you're that easily offended then HHN isn't the place for you, there's lots of offensive things there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grime Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 That was uncalled for. It's a legitimate question that I'm actually surprised hasn't been mentioned yet. Most scareactors won't say things like that, but I've heard much worse. Jacks character is a sarcastic asshole who does whatever he wants. That's just the character and he's just playing the part. Trust me when I say it's not just you. But you have to remember that he's just acting an that this event is aimed toward older audiences. Needless to say, Jack gets more guest negatives in a night then most scareactors will accumulate in the entire month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_D Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Being that the event is PG13, pushing more to the NC17 side, that comment from Jack is very tame, I have heard worse things from Jack, such telling a guy he needed a rimjob comes to mind. If you are easily offended then you may want to rethink which Halloween event you attend in Central Florida. Any Scareactor may or may not have something to say, PG-13 as a rule. HHN is harsh by design, unlike the Mouse where everything is family friendly. Universal recommends this event for 13 and up for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinemaOfTheDead Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Most scarectors just want to play the role they are played with. If you get offended quite easily there are always different Halloween type events all around the parks that does not contain any of that. But don't worry most scareactors don't really verbal insult people much except the ones with a big r-rated mouth like Jack you will come and expect that. Remember there key audience is rude teenagers(which I am) and drunken/fun adults so it's kinda expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armyofrobots Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) hm. If that's offensive, consider yourself lucky. Especially from Jack. edited to add: just be VERY happy you didn't go through Cleaver last year... Edited October 26, 2010 by armyofrobots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's even got a firecracker of a girlfriend, Chance, he hangs out with in the Fear Revealed scarezone. HHN is certainly more adult oriented, so you're going to put up with a lot more scares, creepiness, etc. So much as long as he didn't physically touch you inappropriately like certain Tigers in a family-friendly theme park haha.

I do understand that a lot of the guests act much worse towards the actors, I have noticed that. I did see some stupid teens/adults try and mess with the actors and I said something. But thank you for replying, i appreciate that. You put my mind at ease lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I wasn't really offended it's just that I was just a little shocked and was curious as to whether stuff like that was allowed. Now that I know thats the kind of character he is then i understand. My friend tol me i should have complained but i thought absolutely not because i dont want trouble and im new to this so i have no right doing that. Because from what i've seen i think people should really report the idiotic teenagers for acting extremely disrespectful towards the actors. I dont think that's right at all, they dont deserve that..

keeper Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Needless to say, Jack gets more guest negatives in a night then most scareactors will accumulate in the entire month. ...and that's why we love him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giant4203 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Yeah basically it depends on the role/character that someone is portraying...playing Jack they get a LOT of leeway on what they can say...in 2008 in Doomsday we had pretty much freedom to say most anything because we were violent cannibals shut out from the world for most of their lives. In here I said some VERY off color stuff...though it's also a matter of choosing the target. If someone looks like they're not going to be able to handle the comment, I won't say it. A big one I say this year is to people coming up in wheelchairs I ask them since they're not using their legs if I can have them then rev my saw over them. Tame, yes, but also fits what my character would say Sorry if ol' Jack put you off any...just remember that was Jack, not the actor under the makeup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV-426 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Yes Jack is obnoxious and I love that about him. Just curious how old are you? yeah I am also curious, how old are you? I love all the characters, But I wonder if an Actor said something inappropriate to a guest and the guest tried to be even more inappropriate, going too far, or if people try to be weird with the female scareactors, that would just be horrible.

nelly Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Sorry to hear that it made you uncomfortable not surprising though, that's kinda his character heheh He was mean to a friend of mine when we saw him, but for that same reason my friend loves Jack and laughed about it It's not just the scary aspect of horror nights that warrants a parental discretion symbol on the event. There's quite a bit of mature themes and content throughout certain shows (Bill and Ted and the late Chucky's insult emporium). He probably wasn't aware of your age That kind of comment is pretty mild. Am I the only one who would have liked to see the old Chucky insult show... I do wish it would come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jimmy Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Frankly, I'm jealous. Jack never said I was titillating. Edited December 21, 2010 by Dr. Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORRORLANDO Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Last year while I was going through Leave it to Cleaver a scareactor shouted honey dinner is here while looking right at me and another scareactor responded wow looks like were going to have some leftovers. Now with me being a pretty big guy I knew what they meant and honestly I thought it was pretty damn funny. To me interaction like that makes the event just that much better...

Cody Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 If I understand it correctly, that Jack was THE Jack, the one you see in the ads. He's been a Universal employee for quite some time, so obviously they're going to be a bit more lenient with him. When the Rumors guys and I spent about 10-15 minutes by him, he ran partway into the woman's restroom nearby, nearly ran into a fat lady walking out, and then ran back to us and asked why Michael Moore was in the ladies room. This is an R-rated event and should be treated as such (Yes, I know it's officially PG-13. That rarely works in practice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
