Nightmare Revisited, various artists (Walt Disney)

You all remember Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and its soundtrack album from a decade ago. Well, Disney, the king of post-release film marketing, has detected the film's cult audience and is pushing the movie once again. They recut it in 3D/IMAX, and last year a special edition of the soundtrack CD included cover versions of the songs by rock artists. This year, they've gone whole hog with a full CD of covers of the movie songs. Only Marilyn Manson's "This Is Halloween" appears to have made the jump from last year's special edition, so it's off to eBay with you completists out there. Highlights of this CD, along with Manson, include the Bowie-esque version of "Town Meeting Song" by Polyphonic Spree, Korn's "Kidnap the Sandy Claws," Amy Lee's version of "Sally's Song" and "Poor Jack" by the Plain White T's. A disappointment was that "Oogie Boogie's Song" was done as an instrumental by Rodrigo & Gabriela. Most of these songs might be tough to use on your Christmas discs, though, as musical theater songs tend to be a bit specialized.
