If you didn’t wake up to “Monster Mash” this morning then get your head out of September! Today is October 1 and so begins the embrace of everything spooky and Halloween-related. If it snuck up on you, don’t worry—you’ve got time to plan some creepy festive nights, and we’ve already got one to add to your calendars. Composer provocateur Danny Elfman has reclaimed his roll as Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas for a “live-to-film concert experience,” and Billie Eilish will be joining him in the role of Sally.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to have Billie joining up with the nightmare crew!” Elfman said of the announcement. “This will be a real treat (not a trick)!” Eilish will perform “Sally’s Song” for the live-to-film concert on Halloween weekend at Banc of California Stadium. Eilish and Elfman, who is the original composer, lyricist, and scorer of the film’s music, will also be joined by acclaimed conductor John Mauceri, Ken Page as Oogie Boogie, and “Weird Al” Yankovic as Lock.
The two shows will be held on Friday, October 29 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, October 31 at 6:30 p.m. There will also be trick-or-treating across the venue and a stadium-wide, crowd-voted costume contest.
