It's getting close to Halloween and the lovely folks at Disney finally decided to release the ghouls from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" from their vault.

This is definately on my top ten list. I'm sure most of you have seen it. If you have, I would suggest you snatch it up for your collection. If you have not, I would definately suggest you check it out, especially if you have kids. DEFINATELY if you have the kind of kids that are imaginative like I have and I know for a fact Momof3 has described.

Here's a review....

The Nightmare Before Christmas Movie Review, DVD Release - Filmcritic.com

Here's a clip (Lock, Shock and Barrel are my favorite)

I am ashamed to say that I have never seen the movie, but my daughter has.
Now that it has been brought back out I will have to buy it.

Thanks DCG for posting.

We were at Hot Topic today, the oldest's nirvana. And we saw a whole display for the newly released DVD and all kinds of stuff. They have some really cool shirts DCG. I didn't see what else they had because I was trying not to have heart failure at the total cost of 4 shirts and one pair of jeans!

I'm sure I'll be going back for Christmas presents. Although today she got a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle shirt........at age 12........but yet I have no sense of style because I wear tie dyes all the time. Go figure! lmao I told her today that I've had some of my clothes for so long they are back in style!! She was not amused but I thought it was pretty funny.

My Wife is obsessed with N.B.C. By mid Sept she'll have the whole house decked out in Jack Skellington decorations. everything from clocks to bowls and plates and bedsheets. But I'm cool living in a free disney attraction for two months. I'll admit its fun and our visitors love it.
But I just want to know one thing,
What the hell are "Tender Lumplings"?

I have NO idea Brent. However, when I googled it, I came up with these lyrics and that it is a song by Oingo Boingo (which I'm sure you are aware is fronted by Danny Elfman - the guy who composed the music for NBC)

Oh listen Tender Lumplings let me take you by the hands.
I'll take you from this hell-hole to the Promised Land.
But don't blame me, oh children, if those promises don't keep.
'Cause promises like lives, can be bought so very cheap.


Hope that helps at least a little

My sister had a Halloween wedding and her cake was done up in a Nightmare Before Christmas theme.

Best. Wedding. Ever.

I was cleaning out my storage a couple years ago and found some clothes I'd been hanging onto since high school, and in those days all I wore was t-shirts with stuff on them and jeans, (yes, I'm a pack rat from hell, lol, but at least I use STORAGE not my home), my son and his friend FREAKED. All I heard for an hour was "DUDE! VINTAGE!!!". My son got choice pick of the wearable stuff left, but between the two of them they now own everything from Bob Segar (and The Silver Bullet Band) to Mello Yello to Pac Man. Sadly this was before his goth-punk-scene-wtf stage, the shirts no longer see the light of day yet again. But they were happy for awhile :-)
