This Is Halloween

Marilyn Manson · Other Songs - Marilyn Manson

Boys and girls of every age

Wouldn't you like to see something strange?



Come with us and you will see

This, our town of Halloween



This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Pumpkins scream in the dead of night



This is Halloween, everybody make a scene

Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright

It's our town, everybody scream

In this town of Halloween



I am the one hiding under your bed

Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red



I am the one hiding under yours stairs

Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair



This is Halloween, this is Halloween



Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

In this town we call home

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song



In this town, don't we love it now?

Everybody's waiting for the next surprise



Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can

Something's waiting no to pounce, and how you'll...



Scream! This is Halloween

Red 'n' black, slimy green



Aren't you scared?



Well, that's just fine

Say it once, say it twice

Take a chance and roll the dice

Ride with the moon in the dead of night



Everybody scream, everybody scream



In our town of Halloween!



I am the clown with the tear-away face

Here in a flash and gone without a trace



I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"

I am the wind blowing through your hair



I am the shadow on the moon at night

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright



This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

Halloween! Halloween!



Tender lumplings everywhere

Life's no fun without a good scare



That's our job, but we're not mean

In our town of Halloween



In this town



Don't we love it now?



Everybody's waiting for the next surprice

Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back

And scream like a banshee

Make you jump out of your skin

This is Halloween, everyone scream

Wont' ya please make way for a very special guy



Our man Jack is King of the Pumpkin patch

Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King



This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!



In this town we call home

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song



La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween! [Repeat]

This Is Halloween

Marilyn Manson's "This Is Halloween" stands as a quintessential example of his theatrical and aggressive brand of industrial metal. Released during the peak of his early career, the track exemplifies the genre's fusion of heavy distortion with theatrical performance, a hallmark of his discography from the late 1990s. The song serves as a sonic embodiment of his persona, blending punk energy with electronic textures to create a chaotic atmosphere that defined the era of industrial rock. It remains a staple in his catalog, often performed live to elicit intense reactions from audiences, reinforcing his status as a provocative figure in alternative music history.
