Isn’t this picture of vampire Santa intense? I stumbled across it online while I was trying to get into the Christmas spirit.

If this guy comes down your chimney, you better grab your wooden stake (aka “Mr. Pointy”).

This past weekend I went to Disneyland and rode the “Nightmare Before Christmas” version of the Haunted Mansion ride. Memories came flooding back of how truly spectacular the Tim Burton film is. “Nightmare” is the perfect blend of beautiful-ugly… scary-cute… holiday spirit-(and a different sort of holiday spirit). Plus Jack and Sally are just about the cutest movie couple ever. Their figurines adorn my desk. Unfortunately her arms fall off quite easily – I’m still unsure of whether this is a feature of the toy or if it’s a manufacturer’s defect.

Obviously “Nightmare” is my favorite holiday classic (depending on my mood, it occasionally comes second only to “Elf”). If there’s such a thing as a Christmas movie for vampires then this would definitely be it.

And to put you in the mood to watch it, here’s a snippet of the song number “What’s this?” (For those who don’t know the story, Jack is king of Halloween town but he’s become bored with putting on the holiday every year so he looks for something new. Cue Christmas town.)

How creepy does Jack sound at the end of this clip when he schemes to take over Christmas? Love it.

So this holiday season, trade merry for scary Christmas (at least for a little bit).

Happy Holidays!
