Old Spook Lane Creepy Chats: The Nightmare Before Christmas

Arun and Patricia continue Tim Burton Month on Old Spook Lane
Creepy Chats with talking about the 1993 stop motion animated
film The Nightmare Before Christmas. In a town filled with
monsters, ghouls, ghosts, witches, vampires, and werewolves lives
Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King and planner of Halloween. He
grows bored of the same routines every year and wanders into the
woods where he comes across a town where people are preparing for
Christmas. Fascinated by this celebration, Jack wants to bring it
to his town and spread cheer and toys to children all over the
world...with spooks, creepy creatures, and hiring three children
to kidnap Santa Claus.


When the film premiered, it made $95 million dollars out of a $24
million budget. It became a cult classic, but grew into massive
popularity over a decade later. Nowadays, it's both a Halloween
and Christmas staple. How does the film hold up 30 years later?
Listen and find out.
