This poem is now one of the greatest stop-motion films ever created. It's about the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington, wanting something new and exciting in his life, bored of Halloween Town. He then finds Christmas Town and believes Halloween Town can create Christmas.

Imaginable and genious fantasy/musical frome the shallow mind of gneius moviemaker Tim Burton, Nightmare befor Christmas is a story about Halloween town Pumpkin King, who wants to be in charge of christmas instead of the annual halloween spooking responsibility, but who realises that Santa does it much better.
--Tero Hakulinen, Resident Scholar
