Nightmare Before Christmas Starters
“Wouldn’t you like to see something strange?”
“I am the ‘who’ in the call ‘who’s there?’.”
“I am the shadow of the moon at night, filling your dreams to the brim with fright.”
“There are few who deny at what I do I am the best, for my talents are renowned far and wide.”
“I have swept the very bravest off their feet.”
“I have grown so tired of the same old thing.”
“Since I am dead, I can take off my head to recite Shakespearean quotations.”
“The frame and praise come year after year, does nothing for these empty tears.”
“Oh, [Name], I know how you feel.”
“That’s twice this month you’ve slipped deadly nightshade into my tea and run off.”
“I’m restless! I can’t help it!”
“But I don’t want to be patient.”
“I’ve got the plans for next Halloween!”
“I can’t make decisions by myself!”
“I can’t believe my eyes, I must be dreaming!”
“Absolutely no one’s dead.”
“The monsters are all missing and the nightmares can’t be found.”
“The smell of cakes and pies are absolutely everywhere.”
“This is a thing called a present.”
“There’s something here that you don’t quite grasp.”
“There’s got to be a logical way to explain this Christmas thing.”
“You’ve poisoned me for the last time.”
“These dolls and toys confuse me so.”
“I’ve read these Christmas books so many times.”
“Am I trying much too hard?”
“Just because I cannot see it doesn’t mean I can’t believe it!”
“What are you doing here?”
“The job I have for you is top secret. It requires craft, cunning, mischief.”
“We’re his little henchmen and we take our job with pride.”
“[Name], listen to me. It’s going to be a disaster!”
“Just follow the pattern. This part’s red. The trim is white.”
“I have every confidence in you.”
“Won’t the children be surprised?”
“You don’t look like yourself, [Name], not at all.”
“Hold on! Where are we going now?”
“Haven’t you heard of peace on earth, and goodwill toward men?”
“Well, well, well, what have we here? [Name], huh? Oh, I’m really scared.”
“So you’re the one everybody’s talking about?”
“If you aren’t shaking, there’s something very wrong.”
“Release me fast or you will have to answer for this heinous act.”
“There go all of my hopes. My precious plans, my glorious dreams.”
“I sense there’s something in the wind that feels like tragedy’s at hand.”
“They’re thanking us for doing such a good job!”
“I’ll get you out of here!”
“But I never intended all this madness.”
“Why does nothing ever turn out like it should?”
“I just can’t wait until next Halloween!”
“But they said you were dead!”
“How dare you treat my friends so shamefully?!”
“I’d like to join you by your side, where we can gaze into the stars.”
“It is as plain as anyone can see, we’re simply meant to be.”
