Just in time for Halloween, Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash is bringing back his “Music of Universal Studios Hollywood – Halloween Horror Nights” collections with two limited-edition vinyl variants through Snakepit Records LLC and Deko Entertainment. Get them here.
Following multiple sellouts in previous years, the two volumes of “Music of Universal Studios Hollywood – Halloween Horror Nights” return as exclusive vinyl-only releases featuring 21 original compositions written and recorded by Slash for the world-famous haunted attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood’s annual Halloween Horror Nights event.
For the past eight years, Slash has served as the musical architect behind many of Halloween Horror Nights’ most memorable haunted house experiences, creating immersive scores that enhance the atmosphere, suspense and terror encountered by millions of guests each season. His compositions have become an integral part of the event, blending cinematic storytelling with his signature musical style to create unforgettable sonic landscapes.
Among the featured material is Slash’s score for 2024’s “Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines,” which spotlighted an all-female gathering of iconic Universal Monsters including the Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula’s Daughter, She-Wolf of London and the ancient Egyptian princess Anck-Su-Namun. Also represented is music from 2025’s “Scarecrow: Music by Slash,” a haunting tale of nature’s revenge where sinister scarecrows become agents of destruction against those who have wronged the land.
Approaching each haunted attraction much like a film composer approaches a motion picture, Slash crafts music scene by scene, building tension and atmosphere while guiding listeners through every terrifying twist and turn. The result is a collection of compositions that stands on its own as instrumental works while capturing the spirit of Halloween Horror Nights.
Both albums are presented in deluxe gatefold packaging and are limited to 300 copies each. “Vol. 1” is available on exclusive “Swamp Thing” colored vinyl, while “Vol. 2” arrives on “Yellow Smoke” colored vinyl.
Slash also returns to Halloween Horror Nights this year to contribute to the original house “KILLceañera: Music by Slash.” Tickets are available here.
