Halloween Horror Nights 2024 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[Rideguy70]

While I'm not necessarily complaining Slash is doing the music again (although they sort of all sound alike to me), it would be nice to see some other musicians get a chance to do their take on haunt music. And especially for a female dominated house, would it be too much to ask for a female musician to do the score for this one maze?

Interestingly--Orlando's actually doing this as for their first year doing original music for a UM house. There doesn't seem to be an indication that it will be released for Orlando like how Hollywood is; but here's to hoping.

Also; no Blum announcement today! Even as Orlando shoots themselves in the foot by accidentally leaking setpieces for Blumhouse themselves.

It'd kind of cause a riot at this point if Slash is still alive & not doing the soundtrack for the current iteration of Universal Monsters in Hollywood

As for female... what? Lindsay Sterling?

I hear you, but at this point, Slash and Monster houses go together like John Williams and Star Wars

I feel like I don't even notice the Slash soundtrack in these houses. They're not very memorable to me and I wouldn't mind some fresh blood in the future.

Counterpoint - the Slash soundtracks are the most memorable part for me. Whenever I hear the music it brings me right back to the maze. Same for Figure, and even Weeknd to an extent.

Two more houses to go. I think this will be solid like previous UM houses.

The Slash tie-in has always been sort of a mismatch for me as well, especially since I’m used to the 30’s and 40’s scores for these characters.

To me, it has seemed like a way of modernizing them to make them more of an attraction to the GP.

That being said, I’m not sure the Slash tie-in is really moving the needle as far as the popularity of the houses go, although that is purely anecdotal.

It’s because Murdy thinks it’s fun. He likes working with Slash and it appears Slash has fun working with the event. I don’t think it’s any deeper than that.

Modern is a stretch

I think this basically nails it. Which, I suppose I can't blame him (Murdy).

At the same time, freshing things up for the sake of the event would also be a welcome change. I don't think Slash's work is bad by any stretch, but after a while, it all starts to sound the same.

I'm sure it would never happen, but PJ Harvey would be a very new and exciting person to score a horror maze for.

Yeah, I certainly don’t begrudge anyone wanting something different. But I also don’t blame Murdy for doing his own thing with his own creative work. I have few begrudges, I guess.

I think John Murdy just reveled that there could potentially be one or 2 announcements at midsummer scream.
