Halloween and Christmas are on a crash course to collide in our first bonus episode, as we tackle the Tim Burton classic The Nightmare Before Christmas. Join us as we discuss which holiday this movie belongs to (spoiler alert: it's both!) and what makes it such a sneaky strong entry in our scoring rubric.

Don’t miss:

• The new and innovative way Burton used stop-motion to create something the world had never seen
• How Danny Elfman used minor scales and Phrygian mode to give the score and songs a unique feeling
• The incredible care that was taken to the theming of Halloween Town
• Our final score for the film, which may surprise those who consider this a "niche" movie

PLUS, we talk through all the thoughts our audience had when they watched the movie, including all our friends who joined us on Twitter for #ddpwatchnight.
