Slash releases Halloween Horror Nights vinyl-only soundtrack (Here's what's on it)

GRAMMY Award-winning guitarist and songwriter SLASH, best known for playing guitar in Guns N' Roses, has released Slash Music of Universal Studios Hollywood - Halloween Horror Nights, just in time for the spooky season.

The limited edition 11-song vinyl-only album via Snakepit Records features originals SLASH has created for the Halloween Horror Nights Universal Monsters haunted house over the past six years. It is being sold exclusively onsite at Universal Studios Hollywood starting on Sept. 5.

A special offer of 300 alternate colored vinyls hand-signed by SLASH will be offered at Universal Studios Hollywood stores until supplies are exhausted. Act quickly, as Deko Entertainment offered 100 of these hand-signed copies, which have already sold out.

"“As a longtime fan of horror movies and of ‘Halloween Horror Nights,’ I jumped at the chance to once again collaborate with Universal Studios Hollywood to produce a soundtrack for the Universal Monsters haunted house,” says SLASH. “Similar to the way music affects a film, I composed this score for the legions of infamous characters in these haunted houses to elicit a sense of emotional terror.”"

SLASH has been responsible for the original music featured at Halloween Horror Nights Universal Monsters for the past six years. An experience fans are excited to be a part of each Halloween season. In 2024, his original score will accompany the new Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines, an all-female gathering of Universal Monsters, including The Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula’s Daughter, She-Wolf of London, and the undead, mummified Egyptian princess Anck-Su-Namun.

This new haunted house will introduce an exciting and terrifying storyline as attendees are thrown into the middle of an ultimate battle between classic female Universal Monsters alliances. They will then witness a life-and-death battle between the hunted and the hunters.

Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines will be featured at Universal Studios Hollywood's famous Sound Stage 12, which served as the filming location for such classic horror titles as Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935).
