Midnight Syndicate’s has worked with Universal Entertainment since 1999 when the band’s music first appeared in Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights event. Most recently, the band produced the Music of Halloween Horror Nights and Legendary Truth albums with Universal Orlando.
“It’s an honor to be a part of this next exciting chapter in Universal’s legacy of horror entertainment with Universal Horror Unleashed,“ says Midnight Syndicate composer Edward Douglas in a press release. “While writing for Universal Horror Unleashed was more akin to writing a Midnight Syndicate album than scoring a film, we needed to keep in mind that, like a film score, the music was just one of the cogs in the machine and needed to seamlessly elevate the many elements guests will be experiencing. Universal is creating a truly immersive horror experience with Universal Horror Unleashed where we think horror fans are really going to enjoy losing themselves.”
Located at the AREA15 District in Las Vegas, Universal Horror Unleashed is Universal Destinations & Experiences’ first-ever, year-round horror experience. The “nightmarish spectacle” features four themed immersive areas set in an abandoned production warehouse, plus four haunted houses, themed food and beverage offerings, and a retail location with unique collectible merchandise.
Darkened Corners, an EP of previously unreleased Midnight Syndicate material, is scheduled for a release next month, and the band is currently focusing on its next full-length album, which is scheduled for release in mid-2026.
