Description
In honor of the new, re-release of The Nightmare Before Christmas and the official start of the Halloween Season (a.k.a. when the Halloween Adventure store opens in my area), I present to you the first in a series: Before The Nightmare Before Christmas!

While rewatching the film, my mom asked what I thought Halloween town would've been like in the years before the movie starts and these drawings are my idle speculation.

First up, it's Little Jack, the Pumpkin Prince and his ghost puppy, Zero! Obviously, Jack would have a deep-seated curiosity of all things foreign to him and this butterfly (inspired by the Corpse Bride butterflies) is exactly the thing to catch his attention for an afternoon!

And of course, the poor Mayor, who is charged with preparing the young skeleton boy to be King, is left haplessly chasing after him, spooky-lessons in hand.

I have plans to place all of these series pieces in a scene of Halloweentown Square, but we'll see how that works out. My goal would be to have it all but together by Halloween, but knowing me, that may be too much to hope for, lol!
