Disney Halloween 2023 Disney Halloween Greeting

At Tokyo DisneySea during Halloween season, a dance event themed around “Trick or Treat” called “Disney Halloween Greeting” is held.

There are two types of choreography, the “Trick Dance” and the “Treat Dance,” and participants can choose whichever they like.

The sound is memorable, combining a lively dance-tune rhythm with the Halloween-esque eeriness of a pipe organ.

Why not spend Halloween at Tokyo DisneySea, enjoying music and dance?

Panic at the Disco – This is Halloween
This Is HalloweenPanic! At The Disco

This is the theme song from Disney’s animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas, covered by the rock band Panic! at the Disco.

Brendon’s sweet vocals are a perfect match, beautifully capturing the vibe of Halloween Town’s king, Jack Skellington.

It’s a top-notch arrangement that elevates Halloween—a perfect party anthem.

The Villains World (2018)

The Villains World (2018)

Among the many classic Disney animated films, there is an indispensable presence that heightens the story: the villains.

A villain is the antagonist—for example, Hades in Hercules or Ursula in The Little Mermaid.

Songs themed around these characters are terrifyingly powerful and can be enjoyed along with the villains’ triumphant laughter as they torment the heroes.

The Villains World: Wish and Desire (2016)

This is the music from the 2016 Halloween show at Tokyo DisneySea, which has been held since 2015.

The stars of this show aren’t Mickey and friends, but the villains from Disney works.

Led by Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, the villains throw a Halloween party.

Since it’s music for a party hosted by the villains, it features a chilling atmosphere with eerie laughter…

It’s truly the quintessential Halloween track.

Night High Halloween

“Night High Halloween,” the 2019 Halloween song at Tokyo Disney Resort.

This track was performed as the Halloween version of the fireworks show “Disney Light the Night,” which is held at the end of the day in both parks.

Instead of the usual fireworks music, it features Halloween-themed tunes, including The Haunted Mansion’s “Grim Grinning Ghosts”! It’s perfect as background music for Halloween parties.

The first half evokes a spooky Halloween atmosphere, while the latter half shifts into a ballad that feels like Disney’s dreamlike world.

You could even play the first and second halves separately depending on the party’s theme or time of day!

Grim Grinning GhostsBare Naked Ladies

This song, performed by the Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies, is the theme for the essential Disney Parks horror attraction, the Haunted Mansion.

With its low key suited for Halloween and the inclusion of screams and monster sounds, it vividly captures the terror of a Halloween night.

Friend Like MeAlan Menken

An electrifying number from Disney’s 1992 film Aladdin, sung by the Genie when he first appears.

Composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman, the song is a dazzling show tune infused with big band, jazz, and swing elements.

As the Genie unveils his magical powers one after another, he tells Aladdin, “You ain’t never had a friend like me,” all set against flashy brass and spirited scat.

It’s the kind of tune that makes you want to get up and dance—perfect as background music to liven up a Halloween party!
