Halloween Video Countdown Day 12: Panic! At the Disco

    1 of 4 2 of 4

      Today we're taking a trip down memory lane to a time when Panic! At the Disco was an actual band and not just Brendon Urie's ego stroke solo project. 

      I may be guilty of occasionally repeating myself when I do these countdown things. For example, I'm pretty sure I include "This Is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas every year. With that in mind, I decided to go with the Panic! At the Disco version this year. Like Danny Elfman's original, it is an official Disney-approved recording of the song, since it was included as a bonus track when the soundtrack was reissued in 2006. (And so was Marilyn Manson's version, but I'm not going to post it here because Marilyn Manson is a creep.)

      Bonus! A couple of years later, PATD recorded an original tune called "It's Almost Halloween". Well, mostly original. The song does contain the repeated line "Everybody scream", which astute Nightmare Before Christmas fans will recognize as a line that also appears in "This Is Halloween". Hmm... 

      And... oh, what the hell. Marilyn Manson's version of "This Is Halloween". The man might be a creep, but at least he mostly sticks to the melody.
