**Chance** is Jack the Clown's sidekick from *Halloween Horror Nights* who became the icon of *Halloween Horror Nights 26* in 2016.

## History

### Background

#### Origins

Chance's original name, origins and original connections to undead murderer John "Jack the Clown" Schmidt are unknown. In 2007, she became Jack's assistant when he defeated Doctor Oddfellow, seized the Cane of Souls and began his *Carnival of Carnage*.

The carnival travelled to Orlando (and possibly Universal Studios), Chance assisted Jack in the murders which he commit at the carnival, acting as his assistant and protégée. During this carnival, Chance was repeatedly flirted with by Jack's assistant Dr. Pinetti. After multiple attempts at seducing Chance, Jack burned Pinetti alive before impaling him with ceiling spikes as punishment.

#### Twenty Years of Fear

In 2010, Chance accompanied Jack and Jack's brother Eddie in Universal Studios Florida when Jack's master, the god of fear, Fear, escaped from his lantern prison and attempted to cast the world into fear with Jack as his herald of carnage. At the end of this incident, Fear and his heralds were all dragged into Fear's lantern prison due to counter-measured from *Legendary Truth: The Collective*.

#### The Carnage Returns

At some point (possibly 2015), Jack was mysteriously released from Fear's Lantern (possibly by the ghost, "Bloody Mary"). Jack then betrayed his master *Fear* and took over Halloween Horror Nights using his Carnival and Carnage, accompanied once more by, Chance.

During this incident, Jack and Chance held a show called "The Carnage Returns" in which they murdered a woman named Amanda on a spinning wheel, her husband strapped to a chair, an internet troll, and finally a man named Phil with a "big ass saw". Not long after this, Jack was stopped and imprisoned within his box and on the June 27 of 2016, Chance was announced by newspapeerers to be institutionalized in the *Shadybrook Rest Home and Sanatorium*.

#### Theatre of the Mind

While imprisoned in Shadybrook, Chance had a mental breakdown causing several delusions and an augmented view of reality. Here, Chance entered a "Theatre of the Mind" within her head, and garnered a following of various Shadybrook inmates. Here, Chance's followers killed and mutilated several of the sanatorium's guards, nurses, and other patients.

#### Eddie's Revenge

At some point, (possibly the year 2021), Jack's brother Eddie tried to get revenge on Jack as part of their sibling rivalry by orchestrating a horror film inspired by the Halloween Horror Nights incidents, with real monsters and murderers on the cast and crew. Both Jack and Chance would make appearances on the set of this film (seemingly on October 13th).

#### Captured

Through unknown circumstances, Chance was imprisoned within the lantern of Fear, along with Jack. A totem of Chance in Fear's possession indicated she had "Icon" status amongst his ranks, similarly to Jack. The domain which Jack and Chance inhabited within the lantern appeared to be a representation of the Shadybrook Asylum.

### Development history

Chance first appeared as Jack the Clown's sidekick in 2007's *Halloween Horror Nights 17*. Chance bares several obvious similarities to the DC Comics character *Harley Quinn*. Both are clown themed murderous villains who were female side-kicks/girlfriends to major clown-themed murderers, went solo, and are asylum patients. Chance made smaller appearances since the Carnival of Carnage, but made her grand return in *Halloween Horror Nights 25* in 2015. The following year, Chance was icon of Halloween Horror Nights 26.
