What They’re Saying:
- Danny Elfman, composer: “When I got the call from Universal to work on the music to their new Dark Universe I was, to say the least, more than up for it. It was such a treat working on this project. Not only did I get to work with a great bunch of enthusiastic creative people, but I got to travel back to my own childhood and revisit my original inspirations. And while the attractions are all unique and original, they use characters that I have loved my whole life, such as the Universal Film Legends: Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman and The Mummy, who show up at different times throughout the park experience. I felt both honored and energized to have been chosen for this wonderful project."
Danny Elfman's Park Connections:
- While known for his extensive film work, Danny Elfman is no stranger to the world of theme parks.
- He provided the rich soundtrack to Hong Kong Disneyland's Mystic Manor.
- His iconic score and songs for Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas are featured prominently every year in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion Holiday, where Jack Skellington "wrecks the halls" of the classic attraction.
- You can also hear adaptations of his scores in Men in Black: Alien Attack and The Simpsons Ride at Universal Parks.
- The Dark Universe soundtrack brings his signature blend of spooky and whimsical and creates the perfect backdrop to this impressive area.
