Overview

Henry Jones is one of the main characters of Evil Night. He is a police officer who, along with his partners Alicia Sevigny and Joe Hamilton, is looking for his kidnapped girlfriend Liv. He is Player 1 and is armed with a handgun.

Appearance

Henry is a Caucasian male with tanned skin, brown hair, black eyes, and a goatee. He wears a white short-sleeved collar shirt -- which appears to be slightly baggy, especially in the back -- blue jeans, black shoes, and a black belt with a silver buckle.

Trivia

  • Given how the two embrace in the ending, Henry is strongly implied to be Liv's boyfriend. The Evil Night arcade cabinet also refers to Liv as "your girlfriend".
  • Henry's character design mirrors that of Thomas Rogan, one of the two protagonists of Sega's arcade game The House of the Dead (released two years prior to Evil Night). Furthermore, Henry's girlfriend, Liv, is identical to Rogan's fiancée Sophie Richards. Both *Henry and Rogan must rescue their girlfriends from the undead within a mansion of sorts.
  • His appearance seems to both draw inspiration from both sharply-dressed special agents in horror games (particularly The House of the Dead) and action heroes like Indiana Jones. Coincidentally, Indy's real name is "Henry Jones" as well.
  • The name "Henry" also might be a reference to Crypt Killer, a 1996 3-player light gun game by Konami which proceeded Evil Night; its Japanese title is Henry Explorers.
