𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: What's this? What's this? Is it Halloween or Christmas Eve – no, it's THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, the 1993 stop-motion animated film from the mind of Tim Burton. This spooky and deliciously fun musical tells the story of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of 'Halloween Town' who accidentally stumbles upon 'Christmas Town.' Jack embraces his discovery, which results in his misguided attempt to take over the role of Santa Claus. Directed by Henry Selick (Coraline), this dual-holiday classic features the musical talents of Danny Elfman, who composes an amazing soundtrack of original songs, which includes 'This is Halloween' and 'Sally’s Song.'
