It’s that time of the week again – Festive Friday! In the spotlight this week is a musical masterpiece directed by Henry Selick, The Nightmare Before Christmas.
IMDb: “Jack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, discovers Christmas Town, but doesn’t quite understand the concept.”
The film oozes Tim Burton, which is unsurprising as he co-wrote and co-produced it. It is very much an ‘alternative’ Christmas film, and features unique, intriguing characters like Jack, Dr Finklestein and the fabulous Oogie Boogie.
While there are other films that might make you feel more Christmassy, The Nightmare Before Christmas is a stunning film that features first class stop-motion animation and will always be a festive favourite at Cinematic Delights HQ.

I’ve actually never seen this all the way through. I realize a lot of people love it and it’s always on my “must-watch” Christmas list. but whenever it is on tv, I usually find Elf or The Santa Clause on and go to them instead…
Ironically, I know several of the songs from the soundtrack though. Go figure!
