A ghoulish tale with wicked humour & stunning animation. |
| Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is an animated musical Gothic delicacy for the entire brood. A delightfully dazzling way t’bridge the long holiday gap between hallow’en n’ Christmas, this Disney kiddy opera crepe into theatres the Fall of '93, and has been spooking and amusing audiences like no other animated holiday cheer ever since. Thanks t’director Henery Selick and composer Danny Elfman, this dark romantic romp-a-thump is a sure pure classic for the creep in everyone. The Nightmare Before Christmas As the children hemmed n’ hawed T’dream O’ dreamy Santa Clause As they sucked upon pea thumbs Visions of sweet sugarplums Danced inside wee sleepy heads Whilst something stirred beneath their beds It rustled Tussled Dripping goo It giggled Squiggled Drizzled too How they didn’t have a clue O’ my, if thy kiddies only knew Ole Christmas was a bitter pill Jack Skellington t’fit the bill Took tinseled trees ribbons n’ bows N’ dipped it all in spooky woes Packages wrapped in spider twine Punch he spiked with ghostly swine Stockings stuffed with dreadful things Awful icky devil wings Creepy crawler monster bugs Wet n’ moistened slimy slugs N’ beneath all Xmas trees High n’ mighty clown zombies Slithering withering windup snakes Popping out of dry gnat fruitcakes Dolls with fangs t’munch n’ bite Eyeball tops gave such a fright This Jack did without reindeer Mixed Hallowe’en n’ Christmas cheer Sad n’ silly pumpkin king A victim of his own spooking Landed in the land of skids Didn’t mean t’scare the kids (Tisk, tisk) Hocus pocus boney carcass Brought the nightmare before Christmas |
