As the fog begins to settle in, Universal Orlando has unveiled the dark and twisted haunts that will be terrorizing the streets of Universal Studios Florida during the 2023 season of Halloween Horror Nights. As revealed in our breakdown of all 10 houses for Halloween Horror Nights 2023, Dr. Oddfellow has returned to the event! In this prequel storyline, Dr. Oddfellow not only has his own house, but he’s also taken over every street in Universal Studios Florida. Spilling carnage and chaos into the streets is just the beginning of what we can expect from the man who created Jack the Clown.

Dr. Oddfellow has a deep history with Halloween Horror Nights. His history stretches all the way back to Halloween Horror Nights X, the tenth year of the event. Dr. Oddfellow was the owner of a carnival by the name of “Dr. Oddfellow's Carnival Of Thrills”. The infamous circus owner came across a man named Jack Schmidt while he was on the run from the police due to two “accidental” deaths during a show. After employing Jack and learning about the Murders the clown had committed, Dr. Oddfellow killed him. Jack, as we know, didn’t stay dead for long. Over the course of this story, we learned that Dr. Oddfellow was no stranger to death, and in fact thrived from it. The circus owner had lived more than 80 years from collecting the souls of his patrons and storing them in his silver cane. The story in which we meet Dr. Oddfellow for the 32nd season of Halloween Horror Nights is a prequel to the events of Jack the Clown.
