Nightmare Before Christmas-A7X style 1

Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night

This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween

I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise

Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting no to pounce, and how you'll...

Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, slimy green

Aren't you scared?

Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night

Everybody scream, everybody scream

In our town of Halloween!

I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace

I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair

I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!

Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare

That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween

In this town

Don't we love it now?

Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Reverend Plauge might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everybody scream
Wont' ya please make way for a very special guy

Our man Rev is King of the Pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King, now!

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween! [Repeat]

The town cheered as the ended yet another successful Halloween. Tomorrow they would begin the plans for next year. The towns people complimented him on his work. "Rev you made wounds ooze and flesh crawl." The lake monster Billie Joe commented.

"Thank you. You're too much." Rev thanked them as he back away from them. The Mayor started calling out awards. The first going to the vampires for the most blood drained in a single evening. This gave the king the chance to slip away.

Watching this annual event was Synny, the creation of Dr. Hanerstine a mean, grumpy, old, wheelchair bound, mad scientist.

"The deadly night shade you drugged me with wore off." Synny pulled at the doctor's grip.

"Let me go."

"You're to young for so much excitement." The Doctor began to pull him in the direction of home.

"You're coming with me." The doctor pulled firmer.

"No I'm not." Synny pulled the stiching of his arm letting the doctor get hold of it while he went to other way for a few hours of freedom.

As he walked through the graveyard the pumpkin was met by his ghost dog Pinkly.

There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best
For my talents are renowned far and wide
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
I excel without ever even trying

With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms
I have seen grown men give out a shriek
With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan
I have swept the very bravest off their feet

Yet year after year, it's the same routine
And I grow so weary of the sound of screams
And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
Have grown so tired of the same old thing

Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones
An emptiness began to grow
There's something out there, far from my home
A longing that I've never known

I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light
And I'll scare you right out of your pants
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky
And I'm known throughout England and France

And since I am dead, I can take off my head
To recite Shakespearean quotations
No animal nor man can scream like I can
With the fury of my recitations

But who here would ever understand
That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin
Would tire of his crown, if they only understood
He'd give it all up if he only could

Oh, there's an empty place in my bones
That calls out for something unknown
The fame and praise come year after year
Does nothing for these empty tears

Watching this was none other then Synny his heart going out to the king. "Rev I know just how you feel."

Synny headed over to a patch where witch hazel and deadly nightshade grew. Collecting a few clippings he headed back to his creator's to have his arm reattached.

--

Synny snuck in past the doctor to slip the clippings into a jar for later use. When he heard the doctor coming he stashed the jar quickly and turned around.

"So you've returned I see."

"Yes." Synny admitted with a sigh.

"For this?" Hanerstine held up the detached arm.

"Lets get this over with."

--

Synny was restless and needed to get out to work off the energy. But Hanerstine insisted that Synny had to wait it out. But what was a young man to do? An image of rev popped into his head. The tall lanky skeleton was all he'd though about in the past four months. When he first got a look at the king.

But that was all he had. Little glances from his window and on the occasion when he snuck out. When October came around and he always caught little bits and pieces of this year's festivities he couldn't wait to see what their king would do.

So when he slipped the doctor deadly nightshade Synny was out the door to watch the events unfold. He enjoyed very second of it. If this is what happened every year he could wait to see what would have next year.

But in that short time he'd developed a crush on the king. It was a hopeless thing something that would never happen so why entertain the idea? Because he was technically young and wanted to explore these newfound feelings a little further.

Rev had been wandering all night long in his dispeare. So long infact that it was light again. Pinkly had stayed by his side faithfully all night. Looking around him Rev had never come this far before and looking around him he saw something strange. A ring of trees with the strangest symbols on them.

One had a white bunny with a basket that appeared to be full of eggs. Another had a bright red heart upon it. Rev looked at the trees realizing that these symbols were doors. He looked at the one that was a big green yet colorful pine tree and opened the door falling in…
