"This Is Halloween"
Song

"This Is Halloween" is a song by composer Danny Elfman from the 1993 film, The Nightmare Before Christmas. In the film it is performed by the residents of the fictional "Halloween Town", which is the film's main setting, and introduces the town's Halloween-centered lifestyle. The song is featured in both HalloWishes at the Magic Kingdom and at Disneyland's Halloween Screams. In Calaway Park, it is featured in the haunted mansion. It is also used as the background music for the Halloween Town world in the video game Kingdom Hearts. The song is featured in the video game Just Dance 3.

Other languages

Differently from the vast majority of Disney movies, in several countries The Nightmare Before Christmas was released only with subtitles, since the movie was originally thought to be "too dark and scary for kids",[1] and was thus released as a product for adults. However, some countries did rerecord the song anyway, along with the whole movie, in their own languages.
