Det är nu femte gången som jag ser denna fantastiska film - en lika omistlig jultradition som Karl-Bertil Jonssons julafton. Kombinationen av bild och musik bildar en suvueränt helgjuten enhet. Här finns också mitt i det uppsluppna ett vemod som berör, en klang av Fröding. En fullsatt salong borgar förhoppningsvis för en fortsättning många jular än.

So this is what happens when you mix together Disney and Tim Burton. I must admit that the first time I saw Nightmare, it was at a press showing, and I was not impressed. Quite the opposite actually, I found the movie long, bizarre and uninspiring. Over the years, my views have changed and it has not only become a holiday favorite, but also a movie that I can watch over and over again, and never get tired of. The characters are original unlike several other holiday stories, the music phenominal, and the scenery is so typically Burton signature, nothing else comes close. This family/cult film might not be appropriate for younger viewers (singing about cutting Santa up in bits), but there is something magical in this dark fantasy fairytale. I also believe that other than the Santa Clause series, this is the only movie I am award of that mixes several holidays together. What's even better, you don't have to wait for a certain time of year to enjoy this movie. It's timeless and a modern day classic!
