[Played in the Parks] Disney Halloween Hit Songs and Fan Favorites (21–30)
Friends on the Other SideKeith David
The villain song sung in the scene where Dr.
Facilier, the antagonist from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, tempts the protagonists with his magical powers.
Its allure lies in a mysterious, dramatic sound rooted in jazz, blues, and the indigenous music of New Orleans.
The rich low tones of the vocal brilliantly convey the villain’s slyness and seductive charm.
Released in November 2009, it was included on the soundtrack album The Princess and the Frog (Original Songs and Score) alongside the film.
Balancing eeriness and splendor, this track is a great recommendation as background music to whisk guests into an extraordinary world at a Halloween party!
Happy Halloween Harvest (2014)
This is the music from the Halloween parade held at Tokyo Disneyland in 2014.
A poppy, bright, and cute track that colored Disneyland’s 2014 Halloween.
The horn sounds in the intro and throughout add a hint of Halloween’s darker side, but Disneyland in the Park is all about brightness! Just like the adorable characters, join in with the music and trick-or-treat! Let’s go get lots of sweets!

Symphonic Scherzo “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”Paul Dukas
It’s a symphonic poem by the French composer Paul Dukas, one of his signature works.
A perfectionist, Dukas destroyed most of the pieces he didn’t like during his lifetime.
This work is said to be one of the few masterpieces that survived.
Known as Dukas’s breakthrough piece, it was used as the music for the story in Disney’s 1940 film Fantasia, in which Mickey Mouse appears as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, making it even more widely beloved.
Don’t you think its thrilling, comical tone—where clumsy imitation of magic leads to utter chaos—perfectly matches the exciting, heart-pounding atmosphere of Halloween?
Fright NightMickey & the gang
This is the opening number of Disney’s stop-motion short “Mickey and Friends Trick or Treats.” Sung by Mickey and the gang, the song has a fun, parade-like feel as Mickey and his friends head out for trick-or-treating.
The theme blends mischievous attempts to spook everyone with the friendship underneath, making it a feel-good listen.
The track is included on the single “Mickey and Friends Trick or Treats (Original Soundtrack) – Single,” released in September 2023.
The tie-in short won a Kidscreen Award in 2025.
Put it on at a party and you’ll want to sing and dance along with the characters!
Mysterious Masquerade (2010)
The Halloween parade at Tokyo DisneySea began in 2009.
This is the memorable first edition: “Mysterious Masquerade.” Mysterious Masquerade is themed around a Halloween that evokes an exotic atmosphere.
Spanning 25 minutes, its spectacular production seems to draw on familiar, slightly spooky legends from around the world.
The shifting stages—featuring things like Chinese jiangshi and Tutankhamun resting in Egypt’s pyramids—are truly moving.
Even without the visuals, the music conveys it all, so try listening while imagining the scenes!
The Villains’ Halloween “Into the Frenzy”Tokyo Disneyland
This is the music from the daytime parade that began at Tokyo Disneyland in the fall of 2024.
The show’s theme is a thrillingly eerie Halloween party hosted by the Disney Villains.
As you’d expect from a Villains-led event, the music has a dark, stylish vibe, yet it’s also energetic dance music that will make you want to move.
You can feel the heat and excitement urging you to unleash your energy and have a blast, capturing the park’s immersive atmosphere.
This track is included on the album “The Villains’ Halloween ‘Into the Frenzy,’” released in October 2024.
It’s perfect for Halloween costume reels or party videos with friends! With a powerful sound that won’t be outdone by fiery visuals, it’ll take your video to the next level!
Tower of TerrorJoel McNeely
This is the background music for the Tower of Terror attraction at the Hotel Hightower in Tokyo DisneySea.
Inside the hotel’s elevator, there was an inexplicable incident involving Harrison Hightower III and the idol Shiriki Utundu—whether to call it a mystery or a horror is hard to say.
The attraction leads you to uncover the truth behind that story.
The music amplifies the story’s eeriness and strangeness, sending chills down your spine just by listening.
