Where are all my terrifying, morally-corrupt monster anti-heroines at?
Even events likeUniversal Orlandos Halloween Horror Nights, arguably one of the best (and scariest!
But this year, it was time for the women the bare their fangs and swipe their claws.

The last female show director was me.
This limited-edition collection contains eight of the most essential flicks on 4K UHD + Digital.
How does the planning process usually go for the Halloween Horror Nights?
So what inspired Universal Monsters: Eternal Bloodlines specifically?
Malik:We really just dove into the storyline of how could these monsters come together?
Then we created a heroine within Saskia Van Helsing, just to really drive the story.
Im such a horror fan in every way, and especially a fan of the Universal Monster Universe.
How was making that switch like?
What do you focus on more when youre working on something thats a physical experience versus TV or film?
It was a chance to do something that was incredibly thematic, because its a very character driven story.
It was the step before we got the scareactors that made it all come together and feel complete.
What do you think about the power of music to inspire horror within us?
The music can really drive whatever that feeling is and the intensity of the scare, if you will.
That theme gets repurposed in every section of the house, and at every moment in various ways.
What do you think having an all-female team brought to the house, or its storyline?
We have a female house lead, and I hadnt thought about this truly until now.
Kelly is the first female show director on haunted houses at Universal Orlando in over 10 years.
The last female show director was me.
This one especially put that into perspective for me.
I think it empowered all of us.
It wasnt just, lets put eyelashes on a wearwolf, you know?
Are there any parts of the score that youre all particularly proud of?
Barone:Yes, I love the Egypt section thats very fun.
But I dont know.
I think for me, it was really just the journey throughout thats the best part.
It starts really emotional, and transforms very quickly as well.
Which in a way, compared to my experience scoring film and TV, was pretty technically challenging.
You have a lot to say in very short spurts, and it needs to feel consistent.
It needs to feel like its not stopping and starting, that its a full journey.
Transforming Saskias theme with different arrangements was also a fun part, so I cant choose.
