The Nightmare Before Christmas 

Nightmare (1993) is an EPIC stop-animation flick co-directed and written by Tim Burton, and based on a poem of his creation. Like any Burton movie, the visuals are absolutely STUNNING in their dark and dreamy ways, and Danny Elfman, who composed the music and gave our much loved Jack Skellington a voice to sing, just tied together this insane piece of perfection.

TNBC is not just a kid’s movie. It’s a masterpiece that doesn’t know age, because anyone will love its charming story, lovable characters, macabre humor, and kick-ass songs, which have been covered by bands including Marilyn Manson, Korn, Evanescence, Flyleaf, Rise Against, Fall Out Boy, All American Rejects, and Panic! at the Disco and more. Check em out on Youtube!

If escaping off to the worlds of Halloween Town and Xmas Town doesn’t rock your own, you’re not human!

... Pretty damn shitty that people who make subcultures a bandwagon thing cheaped The Nightmare by making it their little icon. How 'individual' to parade Jack merchandise, eh?
I fucking love that movie. Seriously, I've made it a tradition to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas every year around Halloween time!

Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Beat him with a stick
Lock him up for 90 years
See what makes him tick

Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Chop him into bits
Mr. Oogie Boogie is sure to get his kicks

Kidnap the Sandy Claws
See what we will see
Lock him in a cage and then
Throw away the key!

the nightmare before christmas 

A kickass stop-animation movie, concieved by Tim Burton. He wrote a poem that the movie was based on, but wasnt too closely involved with it otherwise.

Danny Elfman did the music and sang for Jack Skellington. WONDERFUL songs in this movie.

Pitched as a kid's movie, but all can appreciate it.
It is currently the 10th anniversary, so go out and buy it on DVD!
I love Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Mother says "It's a sick movie."

The Nightmare Before Christmas 

The greatest movie ever made.....EVER. Music rocks too.
Whoever says that The Nightmare Before Christmas is not #1 should be punched in the face.

nightmare before christmas 

a decent movie which has been completely and utterly defiled by the numerous subcultures that have made it a cult classic and an object of obsession. the juvenile themes of the movie might be reflected by the below-average maturity level of a viewer consumed by said subcultures. merchandise portraying characters and other similar memorabilia are available at your local hot topic.
Stereotypical Goth Kid (the kind that gives goths a bad name): OMG NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER BECAUSE ITS FOR LITTLE KIDS AND MY PERVERSE APPRECIATION FOR THIS MOVIE IS A WAY TO PROTEST OUR SOCIETY OF CONFORMISTS!

Everyone else: You are so fucking weird.

Stereotypical Goth Kid: Mission accomplished!

doorwall 

A door wall is a sliding-glass door or patio door. The term is yet another example of banal Michigan vernacular, where in the residents latch on to company names, trademark names, marketing terms and product names from local companies. The terms become embedded in the local vocabulary and eventually become accepted as actual valid words and phrases. In this case the term comes from Wallside Windows in Taylor, MI (a large window manufacturer), where 'door wall' is their created word for sliding-glass door.

Frothability 

The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
