10 DVDs for Your Inner Scrooge

THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993)

PREMISE In Tim Burton's delightfully gruesome animated musical, Jack Skellington, the top spook in Halloweentown, gets tired of running Halloween and decides to take over Christmas instead, kidnapping Santa and delivering creepy gifts to horrified kids.

BAH, HUMBUG! MOMENT Santa finds himself chained to a giant roulette wheel in the underground lair of the monstrous Oogie Boogie.

MEMORABLE QUOTE Jack, taken aback by the quaint Christmastown, sings: ''There's children throwing snowballs/Instead of throwing heads/They're busy building toys/And absolutely no one's dead!''
