Fall Out Boy also contribute to ghostly soundtrack

Panic At The Disco have announced their contribution to the ’Nightmare Before Christmas’ soundtrack.

The 3-D version, re-release of the Tim Burton animated feature from 1993 will feature Panic At The Disco doing an orchestrated version of ’This Is Halloween’.

The track will appear on a special edition, two-disc version of soundtrack with bands doing cover versions of songs that were featured in the original film.

Fall Out Boy contribute a version of ’What Is This?’, while Marilyn Manson also do a version of ’This Is Halloween’.

Speaking about their contribution, singer Brendan Urie[/a] told [B]MTV: “Everyone in loves Danny Elfman (’Nightmare…’ composer), so it’s a bonus to be included alongside him.

“I spoke to (drummer) Andy Hurley from Fall Out Boy about it, and he said they were on it, so we wanted to get on there too.

"So many bands that we’re friendly with and bands we tour with are a part of it and such huge fans of the movie. We all watched it as kids and we all watch it now, so it’s really cool to be a part of it.”
