Description

The Nightmare Before Christmas remains one of the most distinctive and beloved film soundtracks of all time, pairing Tim Burton’s unforgettable visual world with the singular musical imagination of Danny Elfman. Equal parts gothic fairy tale, Broadway-style musical, and cinematic score, Elfman’s work elevates the film into true cult-classic territory.

This 2-disc Special Edition expands on the original soundtrack with a second disc of rare and highly sought-after material. Alongside the complete original motion picture score and songs, Disc Two offers an illuminating look behind the curtain: Danny Elfman’s original demos, stripped-down and intimate, alongside reinterpretations by contemporary artists. These alternate versions highlight the strength of Elfman’s songwriting and reveal how much of the musical DNA was fully formed from the very beginning.

From the instantly iconic opening “This Is Halloween” to the Cab Calloway–inspired swagger of “Oogie Boogie’s Song” and the fragile beauty of “Sally’s Song,” this edition showcases the depth, versatility, and theatrical brilliance that define Elfman’s work. For film score collectors, soundtrack fans, and lovers of Burton’s macabre holiday classic, this release is an essential deep dive into one of cinema’s most enduring musical achievements.

What our customers say

A few words about their experience

The vinyls are beautiful and well produced! Each main game has their own folder for easy recognition. I also have to take time to shoutout Arclineusa for great customer support. My carrier gave my package to someone else even though the package needed to be signed away. I told Arcline the situation and even though the package was technically delivered, customer support took the time to quickly give me excellent pointers on what to do, to get my carrier to retrieve and correctly deliver the package to me. I am incredibly happy with the product and with Arcline! Full marks to both.
Good packaging, awesome selection consistent updates and vinyls arrived as described.Great experience i do a lot of business with this vendor and I highly recommend them !!
Quick and easy process for purchasing. Amazing quality sound and condition. Arrived very quickly after purchase. Will buy from again!
