This is Halloween

This Is Halloween is the anthem of Halloween Town and the opening song in The Nightmare Before Christmas. Despite it's creepy tune, it's definitely a hero song since the Citizens of Halloween Town explain they might scare people but are actually very friendly.

Lyrics
[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 THE 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 yours 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...

[HARLEQUIN DEMON, WEREWOLF & 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 a chance and roll the dice Ride with the moon in the dead of night

[HANGING TREE] Everybody scream, everbody 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! 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? Everybody'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 Wont' 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 place we call home Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

[EVERYONE] La la la la-la la Halloween! Halloween! [Repeat]
