Halloween Screams

Oct. 14, 2022

We are only a few weeks away from one of the most terrifying—and remarkable—holidays of the year. Halloween is a celebration observed on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. Though the history of the event goes back to the traditions of the ancient Celts of Ireland and Scotland, nowadays this day can rightly be called an international holiday.

Despite the fact that Halloween is associated with death and the supernatural, it is in many ways a children's holiday. From the 16th century, there was a tradition of begging for sweets, when children and adults put on cloth masks and went from house to house, asking for treats such as candy or sometimes money, with the question, "Trick or treat?" Since the beginning of the last century, dressing up in carnival costumes has become a full-fledged Halloween custom. Initially, the costumes looked rather frightening, but gradually acquired bright images and the holiday itself turned into a show.

Disney Corporation gives one of the most colorful approaches to the celebration of Halloween. Today we are going to tell you about a themed fireworks show Halloween Screams set in Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas decorations. The show is hosted by Jack Skellington and features appearances from Disney Villains and music from Disney animated features.

The show opens with the overture from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, an instrumental medley of songs from the film including "What`s This?" and "Making Christmas". Zero (Jack Skellington’s dog from the film) flies above Sleeping Beauty Castle. He is shortly joined by Jack, or rather his head (in the form of projection onto a sphere shaped balloon), located on the upper left of the castle.

Jack and Zero fade into the night and the first pyrotechnics are launched when "Grim Grinning Ghosts" begins to play. Projections of rising ghosts make an appearance on the castle. The music from "Grim Grinning Ghosts" changes to an upbeat pop tempo, as synchronized isobar flames, shoot up from both sides of the castle. Then the mood is set with "This is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Then Disney's most infamous villains begin to arrive, beginning with Ursula (from The Little Mermaid). The guests are serenaded with a montage of Disney's most spookiest music. Later, Oogie Boogie (from The Nightmare Before Christmas) soon follows, and arriving last is Maleficent (from Sleeping Beauty), showing guests how Halloween should really be celebrated. The party ends with Jack and Zero initiating the "scream-along" grand finale.
