I've noticed this with scary movies in more recent years: taking something like a nursery rhyme, a lullaby or other children's song and slowing it down for a creepy effect to set the tone. Beetlejuice takes a song by Harry Belafonte and slows it down to where "wanna go hoooome" sounds so eerie and foreboding!

A lot of 35mm films from that era were shot in 4:3 using mattes for theatrical release and removing them for broadcast and home media. It was common since it didn't require sacrificing image information like anamorphicly shot films do. Downisde of this is that sometimes you can see crew members or film equipment in the shot since the director is only looking at the cropped compositions on set via monitors.

Despite having grown up on this film, and having been taken to Oingo Boingo shows by my Dad as a small kid...... I ALWAYS forget Danny singing the "Day-O" intro. This LaserDisc intro is especially rad. First time I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey, it was on a LaserDisc player + disc my Dad rented out from this tiny independent video rental less than a mile from our house in Hollywood. I feel like there was something really, really special about the audio when played through the right AV system and surround-sound home speakers. Primitive as they were when I was but a young bab in the early 90s. RIP LaserDisc potential lol. Thank you so much for this upload!!! There's a gal appreciating it deeply at 4AM, nine years after you uploaded it.
