This Is Halloween

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!

  4. @ Lee - Have them watch the entire movie, it's great!

    @ 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.
