The Nightmare before Christmas


The Nightmare Before Christmas is a 1993 film directed by Henry Selick and produced/co-written by Tim Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, a being from Halloween Town who opens a portal to Christmas Town.

Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king of Halloween Town, is bored with doing the same thing every year for Halloween. One day, he takes a walk into the woods and discovers some trees with different doors representing various holidays. The Christmas Tree door attracts his attention so he comes into the world of Christmas. Christmas Town is amazing to Jack, so he decided to share it with the citizens of Halloween Town, and they decide to make their own Christmas celebration.  The problem is that they can't get it quite right...
One of the most famous cuts from this film is This is Halloween. Watch the clip:


Here you are the lyrics of the song:

[SHADOW]
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

[SIAMESE SHADOW]
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween

[PUMPKIN PATCH CHORUS]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night

[GHOSTS]
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody screm
In this town of Halloween

[CREATURE UNDER THE BED]
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

[MAN UNDER THE STAIRS]
I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

Round that corner, man hiding in the trash cam
Something's waiting no to pounce, and how you'll...

[HARLEQUIN DEMON, WEREWOLF & MELTING MAN]
Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, slimy green

Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night

Everybody scream, everbody scream

[CLOWN]
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright

Life's no fun without a good scare

And scream like a banshee
