Neat!
Definitely unexpected considering the rumor was a Jack show, but sometimes the rumors don't line up for one reason or another and end up being wrong, it happens. It doesn't mean that a Jack show was somehow "stolen", you can't steal something that wasn't there. (Or perhaps in a different location, there can always be a chance Jack shows up in the Lagoon Show.)
I don't mind Nightmare Fuel returning, especially since they've got a new theme to roll with and a Noir theme actually sounds pretty cool. I did find it amusing a few years ago they were intending for NF to go with a self-contained story/theme each year with the start of the Circus theme...only to end up making the story a two-parter to give it a happier ending. Hopefully they continue to roll with new themes/stories in the following years.
