Merry Halloween!

Combine Halloween and Christmas and what do you get?  No, I don’t mean something in-between the two holidays like Thanksgiving and Black Friday!  I’m talking ’bout Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, of course!

Digitally restored, the 15th anniversary 2-Disc Disney DVD is a collector’s edition.  Not only does this set include the story about Jack Skellington’s (the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town) boredom busting mission gone awry that puts Santa and Christmas in jeopardy, but the bonus features are worth the price of admission alone!

Jack’s Haunted Mansion Holiday Tour, short films and poems, deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes info, and more are the extras with this new set.  The 2-disc DVD and 1-disc DisneyFile set is priced at $32.99 and is availble now.

From the press release:

ABOUT THE MOVIE:
Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: Collector’s Edition is an ingenious and inspired
fable that cleverly mixes Halloween and Christmas for an eerily unexpected holiday celebration. The
film brilliantly combines stop-motion animation with three-dimensional sets and superb graphics to
create a stunningly original movie experience. With a Grammy
® nominated soundtrack by Oscar®
nominee Danny Elfman (
Corpse Bride, “The Simpsons”), Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before
Christmas: Collector’s Edition
is a modern holiday classic.

Bored with his perennial role as Halloween Town’s frightening Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington
wanders off and discovers the cheerful village of Christmas Town. Determined to shake things up in
Halloween Town, he enlists the help of some mischievous trick-or-treaters to kidnap Santa Claus
and takes over the job of delivering gifts to the children of the world himself. When his plan goes
awry, Jack attempts to restore Santa to his rightful place. But first, he must rescue St. Nick from the
clutches of the evil Oogie Boogie!
