In addition to re-releasing the 1994 stop-motion opus The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D, Disney is putting out a two-disc special edition of the film’s soundtrack on CD. The Walt Disney Records release will hit stores on Oct. 24, just days after the Oct. 20 theatrical debut of the 3D version of the film. Both projects are part of Disney’s 13th anniversary celebration for the animated holiday favorite produced by Tim Burton and directed by Henry Selick.
The Nightmare Before Christmas Special Edition Soundtrack will include the film’s original score and ten songs by Grammy- and Emmy-winning composer/songwriter Danny Elfman. The second disc will feature nine songs, including five new versions of songs from the movie re-recorded by alternative rock superstars Marilyn Manson, Panic! At the Disco, Fall Out Boy, Fiona Apple and She Wants Revenge. The other four tracks will be never-before-released demos performed by Elfman.
Converted to 3D via a revolutionary process developed by Industrial Light & Magic, The Nightmare Before Christmas 3D is being released in 200 theaters nationwide on Oct. 20. For more detail on the 3D conversion process, pick up the November issue of Animation Magazine, available now.
