Twas the night before Christmas..haha just kidding. But seriously, have you ever had a scary movie that you watched as a young one and had horrific dreams and flashbacks about it since? For me, that movie is The Night Before Christmas. I remember watching that movie and being TERRIFIED about it. I woke up in the middle of the night staring face to face with this guy..
Yeah, it's some intense stuff to see as a kid. The whole theme of not having Christmas and "Santie Clause" being captured by the Boogie Monster wasn't exactly my cup of tea. This scarred me as a child. When I first started talking, I first saw this movie because my older cousins were watching it. And because nobody is cooler than your older cousins at that age, I decided to watch it. It was an action I honestly regret doing as a child. I personally think that if i haven't had watched this movie, maybe my artistic senses wouldn't have kicked in. Just because the movie is so...artistic. The weird thing about this movie is that I would never stop watching it. It was one of those feelings when you know it was wrong, but you couldn't help but watch it. Like you know you shouldn't eat a cookie from the cookie jar if mommy says no, but you just can't help but do it! I fell in love with the characters and the music they sang along to while making presents. As i'm older now; this has to be one of my favorite movies! I can sit home all day and watch it over and over again. I now appreciate a good movie that once terrified me as a kid. This isn't necessarily a horror film, but the way the Boogie Man looked at me when I woke up; I can't classify it in any other category.
