nightmare

One of the most brilliant, in my opinion, soundtracks that accompanies an equally brilliant movie. Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas has become a cult classic. It tells the story of how Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king of Halloween town, becomes fed up and tired of his usual hum drum life that revolves around Halloween. When he discovers Christmastown, he decides that the holly jolly spirit is just what he needs and plans to take over the Christmas holiday, but things don't go exactly according to plan. If you haven't seen this movie, put it on the top of your list, it's especially perfect for this time of year. Danny Elfman did a fantastic job with the music on this film, as he always does. Take a listen and enjoy The Nightmare Before Christmas.
