Today marks another day of The 2nd Annual Halloween Humor Carnival over at Humor Bloggers Dot Com. I was over there earlier and found a hilarious tribute to Halloween by nonamedufus. If you do nothing else today, it's well worth your time to pop over and read his hysterical poem, A Crappy Halloween.Question: What do you get when you cross Tim Burton and Marilyn Manson?
Answer: I know, it boggles the mind with possibilities. But, what you get is an awesome cover of the classic Danny Elfman song, This is Halloween, from Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Manson covered the original in the remake for the 13th anniversary of this animated film. Both the music and the animation from this classic film will definitely put you in the mood for Halloween. It's a personal favorite of mine. And, believe it or not, it's a great one to share with the kids!
Love this and am going to play it for my kids when they come home today!
ReplyDeleteWow, you linked to me in your lead! Holy smokes, Margo, thanks for the link love. I bought this DVD about a year ago and I still haven't watched it. Love Time Burton. Happy Howl-oween!
ReplyDeleteI'm such a wuss, this would have scared the crap out of me when I was a little kid... but I like it now!
ReplyDelete@ Lee - Have them watch the entire movie, it's great!
ReplyDelete@ dufus - You bet I did! Who could ever top such brilliance?
@ CatLadyLarew - I think kids today are a little tougher than we were. I used to watch scary movies while peaking out from under my blanket.
I haven't seen Nightmare Before Christmas in ages. Actually, haven't seen the Corpse Bride in a while either... Hm. Been neglecting Mr. Burton. Thanks for the reminder! :)
ReplyDeleteha ha loved it, this is such a fun time of year :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great cover, I just watched the movie for the first time yesterday. And while it's no Ernest scared stupid, it's still a great Halloween movie.
ReplyDeleteUh oh. The cat was so scared he farted. Dang!
