Watch as Slash reacts to the Clowns 3D maze, part of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. Clowns 3D features all-new original music by the former Guns N' Roses guitarist and is now open through November 2nd.

Slash has joined forces with Universal Studios Hollywood to compose an original score for the theme park’s hypnotizing new 3D maze, Clowns 3D Music by Slash at Halloween Horror Nights, which launched on September 19th. An extended preview video can be seen below:

While partnering with top recording artists has become a signature of Halloween Horror Nights, this collaboration with prolific guitarist, Slash, marks the first time a musician has created an original maze score for the popular event.  This inspired effort comes at a demanding time for Slash, whose new album World On Fire debuted on September 16th, on the heels of his Let Rock Rule World Tour performing with Aerosmith.

Infused with the rocker’s hell-raising electric guitar riffs, the ominous new Clowns 3D Music by Slash haunted attraction is no laughing matter as it unmasks the psychological disorder known as Coulrophobia, a disturbing condition affecting those with an extreme and irrational fear of clowns.

The psychedelic 3D maze will horrify guests, taunting and tempting them with terror and treats as they parade through Sweet Licks Frozen Clown Pops Family Amusement Center, a dilapidated roadside attraction and one-time thriving ice cream factory run by deranged siblings and their mad clown father, Sweet Licks. As this demented trio schemes to restore the family business by luring visitors with free ice cream, guests will soon find themselves on the menu as the key ingredient of a sick new high-protein ice cream concoction.

“I’m a huge fan of Halloween Horror Nights and was inspired to partner with Universal Studios Hollywood because they are the founders of creating extreme horror,” said Slash. “I’ve been composing music for as long as I can remember and jumped at the chance to be an integral part of this year’s event and create the original score for this creepy clown maze. I can’t wait to see the fans’ reactions and will be first in line to experience the maze myself.”
