Festival of Mystique – Disney Halloween 2019
This song is a number from the 2019 Halloween show at Tokyo DisneySea, “Festival of Mystique.” The show celebrates Halloween, and true to the festive theme, the music begins with a cheerful, upbeat rhythm that makes you want to start dancing.
Gradually, however, it shifts to an eerie, sinister atmosphere, and in classic Disney fashion, the villains are vanquished by the end and the celebration returns to peace.
Throughout, the melody evokes the Italian ambiance that matches the show’s setting, Mediterranean Harbor.
The way the music’s mood transforms makes it a perfect fit for Halloween party BGM!
Halloween Daydream – Skeletons’ Surprise (2013)
This is the music from the Halloween Carnival held at Tokyo DisneySea in 2013.
Donald, Goofy, and Chip ‘n’ Dale team up with the skeletons they befriended the previous year to throw a surprise party for Mickey! Guests join in to surprise Mickey too, practicing and dancing the Skeleton Dance together with Donald and the others.
Why not groove to the music and practice the Skeleton Dance yourself, just like Donald and friends, to surprise someone?
Welcome to Spookyville (2010)
The hugely popular parade “Welcome to Spookyville,” held from 2010 to 2012, features a Halloween party hosted by friendly ghosts! Since the theme is a party, the music has a dance vibe—sharp beats that really get you pumped! Rather than a mysterious Halloween atmosphere, the parade focuses on cute ghosts and a fun party, so it’s a cheerful track kids can enjoy without getting scared.
Halloween Pop’n Live (2017)
This is a song from Disneyland’s 2017 Halloween show.
It has an EDM vibe and comes across as quite pop.
Rather than a heavy beat that evokes eerie ghosts, it’s arranged as a light, fun, and energetic Halloween track.
There’s even a rap section by Mickey and friends, making it a highly varied and entertaining number.

Skeleton DanceBeats Antique
This is the music from Disney’s short film The Skeleton Dance.
As the title of the film and song suggests, it’s an animation where skeletons crawl out of their graves and dance.
Quite a terrifying sight…
and yet it’s the perfect animation and song for Halloween! The track has a mysterious vibe, but it’s also lively in that classic Disney way.
Why not dance the night away this Halloween, just like the dancing skeletons?
End TitleDanny Elfman
This is the soundtrack to Disney’s musical animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas.
The ominous, eerie melody that plays at the end of the story is perfect for creating a scary Halloween atmosphere.
The sudden swell in the melody of “This Is Halloween” also feels a bit creepy…
Be sure to use this track—along with the entire soundtrack—to amp up your Halloween!
Oogie Boogie’s Song
A song used in the stop-motion musical animation film The Nightmare Before Christmas, a project conceived and created by Tim Burton, who has produced numerous masterpieces as a film producer.
As the title suggests, it’s sung in the film by the villain Oogie Boogie, and even among the many otherworldly, horror-themed tracks in the movie, its particularly grotesque lyrics heighten the sense of fear.
With an atmosphere only a Halloween-themed work can evoke and a dark, immersive worldview, it’s a highly recommended number among Disney songs you’ll want to play on Halloween.
