We chat with composer Danny Elfman about his new short film, A Danny Elfman Christmas Story — a whimsical exploration of the unlikely connection between one of Hollywood’s most inventive musical mind and the holiday season. From his hauntingly joyful work on The Nightmare Before Christmas to his fascination with the emotional balance between celebration and melancholy, Elfman’s take on Christmas music is anything but ordinary.
