Get ready for a double dose of spooky Disney fun this Halloween season! Nippon Terebi’s “Kinyou Road Show” has announced two consecutive weeks of broadcasts featuring Disney works with a delightful horror flair, perfect for setting the mood for Halloween. The broadcasts will kick off the week before Halloween on October 24, 2025, with Haunted Mansion, followed by a special Halloween Day lineup on October 31 featuring The Nightmare Before Christmas and Toy Story of Terror!.

Prepare for the Poltergeist Party with Haunted Mansion

First up on October 24 is the highly anticipated broadcast of Haunted Mansion. Released in 2023, this live-action film brings to life the wildly popular attraction found in Disney theme parks worldwide, including Tokyo Disneyland. The story follows a family who finally gets their dream luxurious home, only to discover it’s already occupied by 999 mischievous ghosts! To combat the supernatural residents, they team up with an eclectic crew: a priest hired for exorcisms, a paranormal expert, a psychic medium, and a history professor. Together, they confront the spectral inhabitants and uncover the tragic truth hidden within the mansion’s eerie walls.

The film brilliantly blends the spooky and the comical, creating a puzzle-solving, attraction-style movie that promises to keep both adults and children thrilled and laughing. It’s an adventure where fear and fun go hand-in-hand!

Justin Simien, also known for his work as an actor and screenwriter, directed the film, with the screenplay penned by Katie Dippold, known for the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters. The Japanese dub boasts an impressive cast of voice actors, ensuring a captivating experience for local audiences.

A Spooky Classic: The Nightmare Before Christmas

On October 31, prepare for the timeless wonder of The Nightmare Before Christmas. This masterful stop-motion animation film, based on an original concept and produced by the visionary Tim Burton, first captivated audiences in 1993 (released in Japan in 1994). Its enduring popularity has not waned, and it is widely hailed as one of the greatest animated films of all time.

The story centers on Jack Skellington, the beloved “Pumpkin King” of Halloween Town. When Jack stumbles upon the cheerful and vibrant world of Christmas Town, he becomes utterly captivated. Inspired to bring his own unique, spooky brand of Christmas to life, he hatches a plan that sparks a whimsical yet delightfully chaotic adventure, much to the dismay of the residents of both towns.

Creating the film’s stunning visuals through stop-motion was a monumental task. The intricate puppets were meticulously moved one millimeter at a time, frame by frame. This painstaking process required over 100 skilled animators and technicians, who dedicated three years to its production. This film marked the directorial debut of Henry Selick, who later became a celebrated master of stop-motion, earning an Academy Award nomination for Coraline (2009). The iconic and unforgettable score was composed by the irreplaceable Danny Elfman, a frequent and essential collaborator with Tim Burton.

A Toy-Sized Scare: Toy Story of Terror!

Also on October 31, to kick off the broadcast, viewers will be treated to Toy Story of Terror!, a thrilling Disney & Pixar short that continues the beloved story after Toy Story 3. This special focuses on the spirited cowgirl Jessie, who once co-starred with Woody in a TV show. The plot takes a spooky turn when the toys find themselves spending a night at a mysterious motel.

During their stay, the toys mysteriously begin to disappear one by one! Woody, Buzz, and Jessie are naturally terrified by the unfolding horror, but the situation takes an unexpectedly wild and exciting turn, revealing a plot far more intricate than simple ghost stories.

The short was directed and written by Angus MacLane, known for his work on Finding Dory (2016). The Japanese voice cast features familiar talent, including Tokoro George as Buzz Lightyear, Karasawa Toshiaki as Woody, and Kusaka Yumi as Jessie, alongside many other skilled actors.
