SLASH to add a new twist to Halloween Horror Nights

Universal Studios Hollywood teams with SLASH, the iconic, Grammy® Award-winning guitarist and songwriter, to create a terrifying slate of original Halloween Horror Nights experiences, exclusive to the Hollywood destination. Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood begins on Thursday, September 4.

These unique experiences will include an original soundtrack composition for the fan-favorite haunted house, “Scarecrow: Music by SLASH,” marking the seventh consecutive year in which the prolific artist has created a score for a Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights haunted house.

“Scarecrow: Music by SLASH” puts retribution at the forefront in which Mother Nature seeks vengeance on the homesteaders for their sins of the past that will be carried out by farmland scarecrows, mute witnesses who have become the guardians of destruction for anyone who crosses their path.

SLASH’s original score for the experience, which he composes similarly to a motion picture by engaging with each scene, will deliver an unnerving sense of fear as guests navigate the ominous corridors of the haunted house.

Halloween Horror Nights will also celebrate the vinyl-only album release of SLASH: Music of Universal Studios Hollywood – Halloween Horror Nights, Volume 2. The scary soundtrack will complement last year’s sold-out vinyl-only album with a slate of original music that SLASH has created over the past six years for a variety of Universal Studios Hollywood haunted houses. The album, which includes a tribute by John Murdy, Creative Director and Executive Producer of Halloween Horror Nights, will be available for purchase at Universal Studios Hollywood.
