Composer Danny Elfman will celebrate Halloween this year by bringing the music he composed for Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" to the Hollywood Bowl in a live orchestral performance conducted by John Mauceri.
The concert, which will feature Elfman performing alongside an orchestra and chorus to the stop-motion animated movie, will take place at the Bowl on Oct. 31, with a starting time set for 8:15 p.m.
Organizers said that the Bowl will be transformed into Halloween Town -- one of the nightmarish worlds from the original 1993 movie -- with pre-show activities that will include an audience-participation costume contest.
