Guitarist Slash returns for Halloween Horror Nights

July 22, 2025, 4:20 PM · Universal Studios Hollywood again will collaborate with legendary rock guitarist and songwriter Slash for Halloween Horror Nights.

Exclusively at the California event this year, Halloween Horror Nights will present Scarecrow: Music by Slash. Slash has composed the score for this house, which "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," Universal said in its press release.

Slash has composed music for several other Halloween Horror Nights houses over the years, and this year Universal will be releasing another vinyl-only album of his works.

SLASH: Music of Universal Studios Hollywood - Halloween Horror Nights, Volume 2 will include 10 tracks of the guitarist's HHN works.

I really think it's time to let other musical artists have a turn. I'm still bitter that the year they had an all female house, it wasn't a female musical artist. That would've been a perfect time to hand over the reins.

Instead, we get more of the ole' boys club. And honestly, Slash is not really a bad fit for HHN... but it's too much of a good thing. Time for some new blood already.
