May I talk you a little bit about me? No... I don't think so... I don't want to screw this disguising stuff... But there's something I can tell you... I have this yearly tradition of watching "The Nightmare before Christmas" of Tim Burton (even if it was not directed by him) every Halloween day/night...
I love Tim Burton's movies, but especially two of them: This one and Sleepy Hollow (which I also recommend to you). I also recommend you to read his poems book called "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy", also illustrated by him... If you follow this link you'll be able to read it online.
So, I'll leave you with one song of "Nightmare before Christmas", so enjoy it... and remember... Trick or Bleed?
This is Halloween
SHADOW
Boys and girls of every age

Hi Jacky! How are you?
Do you like Muse too?
I'm going to look for the songs you have said and I'll listen to them.
If you like Muse maybe you like groups like Within Temptations, Nigthwish...?
The White Stripes, The Killers, The Strookes??
As you see, I love the sound of the guitars.
I hope you have had a very good Halloween!!
See you
Hi!
thank you soo much for all this information about Tim Burton.
I love Tim Burton's movies too. Specially when he works with Johnny Depp. I enjoyed a lot "Corps Bride".
I haven't seen yet "The nightmare before Christmas"
Perhaps I will see the film in a few days. At the moment I will try to read "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy".
Hello, dear classmate.
I also love this film.
How about your halloween night?
I hope it was enjouable ;)
see ya!
I still remember my Halloween celebrations when I was living in the States. I was shocked with my daughter's school partners imagination at their parties. The power of money and consumerism, I guess! However, I still feel sorry, being here, how our "castanyada" is discreetely vanishing!
A few language comments to this very productive writer:
-they suffered when they were CHILDREN
-May I TELL you a little bit about me? OR May I talk TO YOU a little bit about me
-"The Nightmare before Christmas" BY Tim Burton OR -TIM BURTON'S "The Nightmare before Christmas"
