  1. "This Is Halloween" is a song from the 1993 film #TheNightmareBeforeChristmas composed and written by #DannyElfman. In the film, it is performed by the residents of the fictional "Halloween Town", which is the film's main setting, and introduces the town's Halloween-centered lifestyle. The song was also included on the #filmsSoundtrack.

  2. Mistodon: as we approach the sweet spot between Halloween and Christmas, this silhouetted #teletext screen by Horsenburger, depicting a tender moment in #theNightmareBeforeChristmas between Sally and #JackSkellington (on a spooky hill that is actually #OogieBoogie) straddles both realms handily. It was included in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

  3. 32 years ago, Henry Selick's The Nightmare Before Christmas had its wide theatrical release. What began as a short poem with a few early character sketches by Tim Burton, was shaped by the contributions of many incredible artists into the cult classic we know. From Michael McDowell's initial draft to the final screenplay of Caroline Thompson (who also had concerns about the racist stereotype undertones of Oogie Boogie) that greatly expanded upon the original ideas, turned Jack’s curiosity into an existential search for meaning, and added emotional depth and complexity to the characters.

    Sally wasn't part of Burton's original poem, existing only as a vague idea in sketch form. It's Thompson who created her entire arc, from her initially unrequited love to her desire for freedom and finding herself beyond what she was told she should be, serving as the heart of the film. The film’s characteristic gothic and whimsical aesthetic also owes its final form to the combined genius of visual consultant Rick Heinrichs, cinematographer Pete Kozachik, and art director Deane Taylor.

    It took 3 years, over 200 meticulously crafted puppets, and an entire team of animators, puppet builders, and lighting designers to make TNBC what it is. Beyond the characters, the story, and the music, the film is also a prime example of the artistry of movie making and practical effects, and the magic of stop-motion animation.

  5. People when they follow me for some poignant or clever point I made when they discover that most of what I talk about is music, Dad Jokes, and Animal Crossing.

  6. I've been working away at a new project, just something to get me back into the mood to write (and work on my novels). It's called the "Twelve Days of Prompts" Series, and I've really been enjoying it. It'll be finished soon as well.

    Expect a combination of random of stories for Doctor Who, Criminal Record, The Thick of It, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

  7. I'm currently working on a Jack x Sally story for this big "Twelve Days of Prompts" series I'm working on. Halloween is coming, so it's only right. My friends and readers asked for it. They're just the sweetest, spookiest couple.
