Danny Elfman

May 29, 1953 -
born in Amarillo, TX, composed during the Contemporary period
Best known for his work with director Tim Burton, Danny Elfman first scored the soundtrack to The Forbidden Zone, a film directed by his brother. The band he assembled for the project, Oingo Boingo, later earned a significant cult following during the new wave era. In 1985 Elfman met fledgling filmmaker Burton; after collaborating on the score to Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, they frequently reunited, with Elfman composing the music to Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Batman, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Elfman also scored a number of other features, most of them strange fables such as Darkman and Dick Tracy. Among his television work is the theme song to The Simpsons. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Loved the movie, and the music. I have a dress just like Alice wore when she met the mad hatter. I'm wearing it for my birthday... I can't wait hehe... beautiful nightmares.. .
Tim Burton and Danny Elfman.... match made in heaven!
Don't read this because it actually works. Whoever posts irrelevant comments telling you to copy and paste their messages because you'll die if you don't is a complete moron, and an insult to the concept of intelligent discussion and common sense.
Don't read this because it actually works. You will be kissed on the nearest Friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However if you don't post this you will die in 2 days. Now you started reading this so don't stop. This is so scary put this on at least 5 songs in the next 143 minutes. When done press f6 and your lovers name will appear on the screen in big letters this is so scary because it actually works
Dat bass clarinet :3

This kinda sounds like the batman and Spider-Man theme mixed, with lyrics about Alice and Wonderland.. . But he did make music for all three...

I love Tim Burton's movies and he was smart for sticking with Danny Elfman! Follow me if you agree
big fish???
He is like THE BEST (creepy) composer.I don't blame Tim burton for staying with him
I wonder if Danny ever feels bad for his orchestra at how fast then suddenly slow he wants them to play lol...... Probably not.

Love. Danny. Elfman.

He works with Tim Burton, and Produces ABSOLUTELY AMAZING (Yet creepy) work. You can see it all in his smile.

This is a cool song! Obviously it was MADE for Halloween!:)
We Tim Burton now.
k9srockon
Creepiest. Face. Ever. LOL
No comments on Danny Elfman? You're kidding me. This guy is a genius! From the score of Mars Attacks and Men in Black to The Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas, Elfman hardly ever dissapoints.
So what's with the selections that are not original releases but best of albums? If I wanted to listen to half-done re-creations I'd put on one of a billion Erich Kunzel records...
This is one of the greatest composers ever!!!

He could totally play the new Joker in Batman....ju s t saying..haha
It reminds me of the picture of Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange movie. Check it out.

Danny Elfman... you have made so many more of my life moments wonderful, more than I've been due. Thank you!!!
I love love love love love spiderman's soundtrack.. .

Dark, mysterious, enchanting, and especially whimsical. One of the many reasons why Elfman's work is wonderful.
