I can still remember like it was yesterday that night I stepped into the movie theater to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas. That was 30 years ago and from that very moment, I became a fan for life. This is a story very similar to many other fans who discovered Jack, Sally, and the others who populate Halloween town.
