The Nightmare Before Christmas






One of my favorite Halloween movies is The Nightmare before Christmas. Every year during the Halloween season I watch this movie. It puts me in the Halloween spirit and has become a tradition.

Jack Skellington is the pumpkin king of Halloween town. It is the same routine every year in Halloween town, on Halloween the monsters come out and perform a real scare. This particular Halloween, Jack is very bored of the idea, he goes off into the woods with his dog Zero after Halloween night. Upon the break of dawn, he discovers a clearing of trees with different doors representing various holidays. The Christmas Tree door attracts his attention and discovers the world of Christmas, Jack is fascinated with this new idea of Christmas that he must absolutely share with the citizens of Halloween town. It winds up that the real Santa Clause is kidnapped by the citizens of Halloween town and Jack wants to take his place. Of course everything goes wrong and did not go the way he planned. In the midst of all of this he falls in love with a girl named Sally.

This is such a creepy yet adorable movie that truly gives a feeling that Halloween is on its way!!
