Ghouls and haunts cheer for the day that comes once a year. Happy Halloween, everyone, as the holiday is finally here

In honor of the terrifying occasion, let us applaud the online Disney fans who exhibit passion for the Disney baddies in these hit YouTube videos. Sensational songs that bleed brilliance and exaggerated enthusiasm, they pay tribute to the characters we all love to hate, and sometimes even hate to love.

Here is a selection of the ones taking YouTube by spooky storm.

The CW had a panel in the Main Stage auditorium on Saturday at New York Comic-Con 2013 for their series Beauty and the Beast, the network’s reimagining of the 1987 television series of the same name that starred Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman. On the panel were stars Kristin Kreuk (Smallville) and Jay Ryan (Terra Nova), along with executive producers Sherri Cooper and Jennifer Levin.

The series, which premiered on October 11, 2012, is now in its second season, and attendees at the panel were treated to an advanced screening of the Season 2, Episode 2 “”Kidnapped,” which airs tonight, October 14 at 9/8c.

See below for photos from the panel, as well as thoughts on the episode shown.

One of the perks of being a Disney Princess is that at some point, there’s likely to be a gorgeous gown to wear that everyone will admire. Not much attention is paid to what their Princes are wearing, though.

Now, artist Haruki Godo has taken the Disney Princesses and put them in the clothes of their respective Princes. For instance, in Godo’s reimagining, Ariel of The Little Mermaid is wearing Prince Eric’s military uniform; Jasmine from Aladdin is in Aladdin’s princely duds, and then there’s my favorite, Belle from Beauty and the Beast sporting The Beast’s famous blue and gold attire.

Legendary Disney musical talents Alan Menken and Richard Sherman performed dozens of songs last night from their library during “The Disney Songbook” concert at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA. Sherman played a handful of hits.

I’ll be sharing videos of some of those tunes in a future post but for now, here are some of Alan Menken’s musical medleys of songs from Oscar-winning features The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin.

Enjoy!

We’ve featured TheHumanTim’s “ROCKS!” versions of various TV theme songs and other tunes, so for Valentine’s Day, we’re sharing with you his cover of the theme song for Disney’s animated feature Beauty and the Beast (one of my favorite Disney movies!).

While Tim’s rockin’ renditions are always entertaining, today’s installment has some special meaning to it: it contains a message about his co-worker’s 2-year-old niece, Jasmine, who has cancer. In the video, Tim is seen wearing a pink “Jasmine Strong” bracelet to encourage her and her family to keep on fighting. Visit jasminestrong.blogspot.com for information on how Jasmine’s situation and how you can help, including getting one of these pink bracelets.
