Get ready to enter a den of Darkness, Humour and complex turns as you play your special edition DVD. From the amazing mind of Tim Burton creator of Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissor hands, the movie shows the workings of some of the greatest people in film such as Danny Elfman musician and voice of the singing Jack Skellington, Micheal McDowal adaptive writer and Henry Selick director.

To the story...Jack Skellington is the ruler of Halloweentown known as the 'Pumpkin King.' After preparing all year long the evil dead people of Halloween scare little boys and girls with rats, skellington's and dead things in jack- in- a- boxes, but as Jack comes back from a long halloween he decides to change how the celebrate next years but he doesn't quite know how. So he takes a walk into the forest and comes across something quite strange. Some trees with funny looking symbols which consist of a christmas tree, a love heart, an easter egg and many more but the one too really take Jacks fancy is the christmas tree. As he walks through the jolly christmas town he realises he loves the snow and the decorations but there's one question on his mind all along... what does it mean? He goes back to his town and uses science and magic to find out what it means and he finally realises it's holiday just like Halloween. As he explains christmas to his dead people he tells them that this year Halloween will become christmas. Jack despite Sally's warning captures Santa claus and does his job for him giving the children dead things and toys that bite. On his journey he comes across many problems one being the toys biting the children and the police taking down Jack but the main problem is a bug man named Oogie Boogie who take the two people he loves most, father Christmas and Sally. With three little cheeky fighters called LOCK, STOCK and BARREL (they made the movie for me.)
