Album Notes & Community Reviews

Danny Elfman's soundtrack to Tim Burton's stop-motion film pairs his score with songs he wrote and largely sang himself, voicing Jack Skellington alongside Catherine O'Hara, Ken Page and narrator Patrick Stewart across twenty tracks. The score was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Original Score, and the album later returned with a bonus disc of covers by Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco and Marilyn Manson.
