Attention, fan-boys and -girls, the king of Halloween graces our fair county to send all us fanatics into a complete frenzy. Elfman, the genius composer behind such soundtracks as Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Simpsons theme song, comes to the Honda Center to play a host of scores from his works with director and icon noir Tim Burton. Backed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony and Choir, and conducted by John Mauceri, Elfman will sing select works from Nightmare as Jack Skellington, whom the musician famously voiced. Adding to the music magic is film footage and Burton's illustrations, projected onto a massive backdrop. This isn't the end of Halloween season—for some of us, Halloween is every day.
