Tim Burton's Original 'Nightmare Before Christmas' Poem Narrated by Christopher Lee!!!

The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my all time favorite films... not animated films, films in general. There are many reasons why this is the case, but I think the fact that it transcends seasons and genres better than any other film I have ever encountered. It is a Halloween movie as much as it is a Christmas movie. It is an underdog story as well as a sinister plot to displace good ole Saint Nick. It is horror, comedy, action and adventure all rolled into one... and it is fantastic. The idea for the film came from a poem written by Tim Burton. He created the poem way back in 1982 and I have seen it once or twice, but never in this fashion. It is narrated by frequent Burton collaborator Christopher Lee, aka Lord Summerisle himself (if you know what that is, you are my people)!!! My pal Samurai Frog over at Electronic Cerebrectomy posted the video and I thought it was a great way to transition from All Horror Week to the 2012 holiday season. Enjoy the video after the jump...

Jack Skelington The Pumpkin King Times 5!!!!

It wouldn't be the Christmas season for me without getting into The Nightmare Before Christmas coming up... I have loved this movie since it came out way back when. It's universal good will and overall love that many age groups show for the movie are a testament to just how genius the film really is. You gotta love the tale of Jack the Pumpkin King trying to take over the role of "Sandy Claws" while the real St. Nick is bound & gagged with epic baddie Oogie-Boogie. I have seen this movie in every format... Back in 1993 I saw it when it was released in theaters, and every year since 2006 my son Mikey & I check it out in Disney 3-D. It never disappoints.
