The Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack |
|
In 1993 The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack was released for the first time and it immediately appealed to the people because here Danny Elfman had given them something completely new and unique. The movie being a full fledged musical, Elfman got ample scope to experiment with unconventional tunes and lyrics.
