Classics Are Still A Firm Favourite

With the Nightmare Before Christmas still popular 20 years on, Fancy Dress Outfitters draw inspiration from the pumpkin king to get in to the Halloween spirit.

Leicester (I-Newswire) October 17, 2012 - It doesn’t matter how old people get, classic films are still the ones everyone remembers most. It’s been almost 20 years since The Nightmare Before Christmas was released, but this is still a firm favourite for people between the months of Halloween and December. In 1993, on October 29th, the world got its first taste of Jack the Pumpkin King (Chris Sarandon.) The film earned $50 million in the United States on its first theatrical run.

Since then, the film has only gained popularity. Teenagers and children alike can be seen carrying Jack Skeleton rucksacks, or t-shirts with his face printed on them. The Nightmare Before Christmas has a Domestic Lifetime Gross of $75,082,668. With these figures it’s pretty obvious that even being 20 years old, this film is like a fine wine and only gets better with age.

This is why fancy dress as Jack and Sally is so popular. Not forgetting the wide range of characters, from the clown to the vampires and more. Halloween is automatically linked with this Tim Burton story, thanks to his gothic styles and the amazing tale of the Nightmare Before Christmas.

Fancy Dress Outfitters are getting their costumes prepared well in advanced for Halloween, with only a few weeks left until the trick or treats will be living like Jack and Sally. On the 31st of October, the whole of the world turns in to Halloweentown, with ghosts and ghouls everywhere. Boys and girls of every age, wouldn’t they like to see something strange? Well, now people can, when they head on over to Fancy Dress Outfitters to view their amazing and extensive range of Halloween costumes, hand-picked just for customers.
