In the film it is performed by the residents of the fictional `` Halloween Town '', which is the film 's main setting, and introduces the town 's Halloween - centered lifestyle. The song is featured in both HalloWishes at the Magic Kingdom and at Disneyland 's Halloween Screams. In Calaway Park, it is featured in the haunted mansion. It is also used as the background music for the Halloween Town world in the video game Kingdom Hearts. The song is featured in the video game Just Dance 3. Other languages Differently from the vast majority of Disney movies, in several countries The Nightmare Before Christmas was released only with subtitles, since the movie was originally thought to be `` too dark and scary for kids '', and was thus released as a product for adults. However, some countries did rerecord the song anyway, along with the whole movie, in their own languages. `` This is Halloween '' in other languages Language Title Translation Brazilian Portuguese VHS `` Isso é Halloween '' `` This is Halloween '' Brazilian Portuguese DVD `` Este é o Halloween '' `` This is Halloween '' Castilian Spanish `` Esto es Halloween '' `` This is Halloween '' Dutch `` Dit is Halloween '' `` This is Halloween '' French `` Bienvenue à Halloween '' `` Welcome to Halloween '' German `` Hier in Halloween '' `` Here in Halloween '' Greek `` Όλα μια γιορτή '' ( Óla mia ghiortí ) `` Everything is a feast '' Italian `` Questo è Halloween '' `` This is Halloween '' Japanese `` これが ハロウィン '' ( `` Kore ga harouin '' ) `` This is Halloween '' Korean `` 여긴 할로윈 '' ( `` Yŏgin hallowin '' ) `` Here is Halloween '' Latin American Spanish `` Esto es Halloween '' `` This is Halloween '' Polish `` Witaj w Halloween '' `` Welcome to Halloween '' Russian `` Это Хэллоуин '' ( `` Eto Khellouin '' ) `` This is Halloween '' Slovak `` To je Halloween '' `` This is Halloween '' Thai `` ใน เมือง ฮา โล วิน '' ( `` Nı meụ̄xng ḥā lo win '' ) `` In the happy city of Halloween '' Covers `` This Is Halloween '' was covered by Marilyn Manson in 2006 for the special edition release of the film 's soundtrack and subsequently included on the 2008 cover album, Nightmare Revisited.
