On today's episode, we're traveling to Halloween Town, grabbing our best spooky Santa hats, and making a pit stop over at Christmas Town while we revisit the absolute holiday cult classic movie, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993).
This movie was directed by Henry Selick (James and the Giant Peach, Coraline) and written by Caroline Thompson (with story credit to Tim Burton). This movie stars Chris Sarandon (Fright Night, The Princess Bride), Catherine O'Hara (Home Alone, Schitt's Creek), Danny Elfman (The Gift, Corpse Bride), Ken Page (All Dogs Go To Heaven, Torch Song Trilogy), and Paul Reubens (Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Buffy The Vampire Slayer)
This movie is an absolute classic in stop-motion animation and still looks good. It's a simple story that can be shown at pretty much any time of year and is an excellent way for kids to dip their toes into the horror pool. I love this film, and I hope you will, too.
