Christmas

DH cites it as one of his all time favourite films and watches it at both Halloween and Christmas. I'm not a big fan of Tim Burton so I don't watch it at all.

Christmas definitely - but I will accept a request for it around Halloween also.

It is agreed that it is both in our house so it can be watched anytime (repeatedly) from Oct to Dec.

I made the mistake of showing it to my 4 year old DD at Halloween and now it's an every bloody day film; at least once if not multiple times.
I did love it but now I think I'm going off it, if I knew the obsession would end at Christmas I would be happy.

Both most definitely.

I tried showing it to ds and he wasn't fussed. I'm quite glad now reading what a pp has said as it's one of my favourite films!

Both, but probably more Xmas

JustCallMeGriffin · 23/11/2020 16:22

Christmas film. The events happen after Halloween so not a Halloween film even though the characters are from Halloween town...however Danny Elfman who's the main architect of the story/music considers it to be a Halloween film.

It's probably a Christmas film as much as Die Hard is.

Both! We watch it all year round though Grin

DuzzyFuck · 23/11/2020 16:23

Acceptable anytime between Halloween and Christmas!

Pepperwand · 23/11/2020 16:24

We watched it at Halloween but agree acceptable any time in Oct, Nov and Dec 🤣

Both! Though my Christmas jumper this year is NBC
