Jack Skellington is the most popular, the most handsome and the tallest citizen
of Halloween Town. Notice I didn’t say smartest. Cuz dat
motherfucker is dmub! One day, Halloween, to be exact, Jack is super sad
and goes for a stroll in the woods. Being a simpleton, Jack gets lost and
comes across some strange looking trees. Each one has a differently
decorated door on it. Jack investigates the tree decorated with the image
of a decorated tree on it. Soon, Jack is in Christmas Town and totally
losing his shit over the snow and bright colours. Back in Halloween Town,
he devises a plan to bring the joy of Christmas Town to Halloween Town…by
kidnapping Sandy Claws. I told you he was an idiot.
The story might be silly, but the presentation of the story is fucking
amazing! I love the unholy reindeer baby mice out of this movie and have
seen it around 14 million times. Probably doesn’t hurt that I identify as
Goth and I love the fuck out of Oingo Boingo. And Tim Burton and Catherine
O’Hara and Halloween and Chris Sarandon and Musicals and stop-motion
animation. Fuuuuck, THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is awesome. The
only legitimate complaint I have about it, is it’s too short. 76 minutes
just isn’t long enough.
My two favorite songs are "What's This?" and "This Is Halloween".
