So, I'm going to stick my neck out to be sawed off (which, apparently, is a staple of Halloween now also and deserves a ranting post of its own) and say that Nightmare Before Christmas really isn't as good as people think it is, and it certainly isn't good enough to be the modern Halloween anthem that it's become. It's good. I like it. It's fun, and cute, and romantic, and the music is good. But it's become the unofficial official film for Halloween over the past few years and I really don't know why. They might as well rename Hot Topic "The Nightmare Before Christmas (and some other stuff) Emporium." It's coming out in 3-D for Halloween, and all this crazy shit. It's really not that good. If you want to watch a good movie for Halloween, watch an awesome vampire movie like The Lost Boys, or a good zombie movie like the remake of The Dawn of the Dead. Or, you know what? Watch The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's great. Just don't deify it the way people have started to over the last few years, because it makes you look like an easily impressed, bandwagon-jumping, 13 year old emo kid who spends a lot of time at the mall and hasn't seen a real scary movie yet.
