Official




[SHADOW]
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
[SIAMESE SHADOW]
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
[PUMPKIN PATCH CHORUS]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
[GHOSTS]
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
[CREATURE UNDER BED]
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
[MAN UNDER THE STAIRS]
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
[CORPSE CHORUS]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
[VAMPIRES]
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
[MAYOR]
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
[CORPSE CHORUS]
Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll scream
[HARLEQUIN DEMON, WEREWOLF, AND MELTING MAN]
Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, slimy green
[WEREWOLF]
Aren't you scared?
[WITCHES]
Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take the chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
[HANGING TREE]
Everybody scream, everybody scream
[HANGED MEN]
In our town of Halloween
[CLOWN]
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace
[SECOND GHOUL]
I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair
[OOGIE BOOGIE SHADOW]
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
[CORPSE CHORUS]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
[CHILD CORPSE TRIO]
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare
[PARENT CORPSES]
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween
[CORPSE CHORUS]
In this town
[MAYOR]
Don't we love it now?
[MAYOR WITH CORPSE CHORUS]
Everyone's waiting for the next surprise
[CORPSE CHORUS]
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everyone scream
Won't ya please make way for a very special guy
Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now
[EVERYONE]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
[CORPSE CHILD TRIO]
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
[EVERYONE]
La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween!
La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween!
La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween!
La la-la la (La la la)

This Is Halloween

"This Is Halloween" is a song from the 1993 film The Nightmare Before Christmas composed and written by Danny Elfman. 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 was also included on the film's soundtrack.

"This Is Halloween" was created by Danny Elfman, the main composer for The Nightmare Before Christmas. In the film, it serves as the opening song as the characters of the film introduce themselves and the setting of the film is established.

"This Is Halloween" was covered by the bands Marilyn Manson and Panic! at the Disco in 2006 for the special edition release of the film's soundtrack and subsequently included on the 2008 cover album, Nightmare Revisited.

The song was performed as part of a virtual Broadway benefit concert hosted by the Disney Music Group on Halloween 2020. Money from the concert was donated to the Lymphoma Research Foundation and the Actors Fund.

In October 2023, the song was added to the soundtrack of the video game Rocket League as part of a Halloween event.

"This Is Halloween" is performed by an orchestra, consisting of a piano, a string section, woodwind and brass instruments, cowbells, tambourines, a xylophone, and a banjo. The residents of the film's fictional Halloween Town sing the vocal parts. Discussing the song, PopMatters contributors noted various "vocal inflections and character impressions", which make the song "spooky yet magically appropriate". Writer David Ventura highlighted the fact that despite multiple artists often singing simultaneously, their voice lines don't overlap, as they're always at least two octaves apart.

Elfman later expressed happiness with the song's longevity, commenting in 2021, "When [Nightmare] came out, I did a two-day press junket and virtually every interview started with: 'Too scary for kids, right?' ... So to come back years later and to see families out there, and to be getting recordings of people's kids who are 4 years old singing 'What's This' or 'This is Halloween,' makes me really feel blessed. It's like a second life and proving them wrong."
