What's this? What's this? Just evidence that Tim Burton, Henry Selick and Danny Elfman can turn a holiday mashing tale into the best movie ever.

Where is the common ground between goth girls and Disney store moms? It's here in the Town of Halloween!

Take some old Christmas TV specials, have them ferment in the mind of Tim Burton, let it flow through the hands of Henry Selick, out of the mouth of Danny Elfman and what do you get? Well, you get a really forced metaphor, that's what you get. But, you also have the instant classic stop-motion animated film about cultural misunderstanding, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Coming out August 30th in its nine hundredth repackaging (this time with the Blu-ray, DVD, digital download and 3D Blu-ray all in one spot) we thought it a good idea to hitch our bright-nosed, ghost dog to our coffin sleigh and remind everyone why The Nightmare Before Christmas is the best movie ever.
