The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) is an animated movie that is known to a lot of people as the best Halloween movie. I watched it for the first time tonight, and I have to admit that I just didn't get it. Whilst I thought the stop-motion was very impressive and the soundtrack by Danny Elfman was beautiful, I just didn't get the hype. My biggest take away from The Nightmare Before Christmas is that I need to watch more Stop-motion. I would also like to hear more from Danny Elfman.
