The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D! - Page 4

It took me a good 10 years to see it for the first time. Then with the HMH overlay, I became more interested. Then with some of Tim Burtons' other films, I realy got to liking the art of it, as well as the music.

In my original post I put the link to the trailer which shows some of the 2D shots that would make great 3D.

When we lived in a place where kids actually came by, it was our custom to watch NBC on Halloween night. I miss that. (Where we live now, we're lucky if we get two groups of trick-or-treaters all night).

So now you can watch it without all of the distractions having to answer the door!

Nah, I prefer getting the kids. Now (when we can), we go to a friend's house.

And we used to give away full sized candy bars!

May I come trick-or-treat at your house?

I'm wondering it it's more common now for kids to trick-or-treat in malls or other organized enclosures. With all the stupid people doing things to candy and kids, it seems like it's not as safe anymore for kids to go to random strangers' houses.

You know, I saw a special on TV a year or two ago that said the stuff in candy was only an urban legand. They couldn't find one police station or hospital that had documented any of it. They also had a bunch of Halloween candy xrayed and found nothing. And the radiologist said they never have found anything in all the years they have been checking the candy. It's the rumor that started the fear that ruined Halloween!

Yah, I agree. We have been getting more at our house the past few years. But it's not like it was when I was a kid. I could run the streets until 1 am eating all the candy I wanted with no problem (if it was on a Fri. or sat. night). I still remember feeling like I was hung over the next day from being out all night, walking 50 miles, and crashing from a sugar high! And now that my kids are too old, it's not as fun either. Oh well.

Last Halloween was the first time as an adult I wasn't living in a security locked apartment building. Now we're in a large sprawling apartment complex with lots of kids so we had candy on hand.

Not a single kid came by. Apparently all the suburban moms take their kids to "official" trick-or-treating events at the local malls and downtown commercial districts.

I always hated Halloween (or, rather, I hated trick-or-treating and dressing up in costumes, the rest of it was fine) so from about age 6 I was left at my grandparents while my mom took my sisters out. So I gave out candy all evening. My grandparents kept a tally of how many kids came by and when I was doing this with them a couple hundred would over the course of an evening.

Same house, same neighborhood last year apparently they had 30 kids come by.

I'm afraid trick-ortreating is a lost art.....

Kool! I hear it's going to be grand!

But I'll pay my $22 to get VIP seats at the El Cap, with reserved seating, popcorn, drink, and no waiting in line, thank you very much!

Not to mention the pre-show, the Soda Shop next door, and art display in the basement. Oh, and the fact that it is on Hollywood Blvd. so we can spend some extra time looking around.
