Apparently, 1993 was a banner year for movies geared towards Halloween lovers. Not only did we get "Hocus Pocus"—we also got the magic that is "Nightmare Before Christmas".
And today we're going to celebrate the movie!
Much like "Hocus Pocus", I don't quite remember the first time I saw "Nightmare" but when I did, I fell in love with Jack Skellington's undying determination to claim Christmas for himself. (Something I'll be doing soon as we launch year #2 of Spooky Christmas!)
Next Monday, October 29 marks 25 years since the film premiered, and to celebrate I've rounded up more than 30 things you need if you love "Nightmare Before Christmas".
PLUS, at the end of the post, you'll have a chance to win eight of the items featured...plus a few bonus one-of-a-kind goodies!
But first, let's throw it back to 1993 and the original "Nightmare Before Christmas" trailer:
That gives 9-year-old Miranda all the feels.
