SLASH Summons New Horrors at Halloween Horror Nights with “Scarecrow” Score, Exclusive Vinyl & Bar Experience

Things are about to get LOUD at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights—and we’re not just talking screams. Guitar god and horror fanatic SLASH is back, teaming up with the park once again to drop an original score for the all-new haunted house Scarecrow: Music by SLASH, while also unveiling an exclusive vinyl release and even his own themed bar experience.

Launching September 4th, Scarecrow: Music by SLASH leads a terrifying lineup for HHN 2025, with a tale of nature’s revenge where eerie farmland scarecrows dole out punishment for the sins of the past. The haunted house will feature a full original score composed by SLASH himself—marking his seventh consecutive HHN collaboration. Think of it as a horror movie brought to life, soundtracked by a legend.

But that’s not all. SLASH fans can snag ‘SLASH: Music of Universal Studios Hollywood – Halloween Horror Nights, Volume 2’, a vinyl-only album loaded with his most terrifying tracks from past years. The LP includes cuts from Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines, Bride of Frankenstein Lives, and Legends Collide—plus a tribute by HHN creative director John Murdy.

And if that doesn’t satisfy your dark cravings, step into the SLASH Bar, nestled above Jurassic World – The Ride. Sip custom cocktails like “The Danse of the Dead” or the zero-proof “SLASH’s Snakepit”, and munch on Thai tacos and SLASH’s signature top-hat cake while a stilt-walking SLASH scare-actor stalks the area in full creepy rockstar mode.

“Becoming one of the marquee experiences at Halloween Horror Nights is truly humbling,” said SLASH. “This year’s lineup is going to slay.”

With exclusive merch, immersive scares, and a soundtrack straight from a horror-metal dream, HHN 2025 is shaping up to be one for the books—and SLASH is right at the center of the madness.
