Back in December, we reported that Danny Elfman, known for his iconic scores in films like “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Beetlejuice,” mentioned in an interview with Deadline that he was juggling various music projects. These included classical compositions, rock and roll, and intriguingly, what he described as “monster music” for a theme park in Orlando. While the phrasing seemed to point directly at Epic Universe, no official details were available.

The recent unveiling of the Dark Universe details by Universal Studios have allowed us to confirm this speculation. The new land, set to be a centerpiece of the upcoming Epic Universe theme park, will immerse guests in the world of Universal’s classic monsters. From Dracula to Frankenstein, the Invisible Man to the Wolfman, this land promises to bring the dark and thrilling world of these iconic characters to life.

Following the official announcement, Elfman took to Instagram to share his excitement and connection to the project. “The Universal Monsters have always been such a big part of my life,” Elfman wrote. “I’m grateful and honored to have been chosen to compose the music for the new Dark Universe in @universalorlando. I can’t wait to go!!!”

Elfman’s involvement adds a layer of authenticity and atmosphere to the Dark Universe land. His unique musical style, characterized by its darkly whimsical and hauntingly beautiful melodies, is perfectly suited to bring the eerie yet enchanting world of Universal Monsters to life. Visitors can expect an auditory experience that complements the visual and thematic elements of the land, enhancing the overall immersion.
