I have ADD. You may as well know this before you read. It's the whole reason this idea wriggled into my brain in the first place. I remember talking about it with one of my close friends a while back, but today, when I finished up my Religion exam (a requirement at my Catholic school) I wrote it down.

If you have anyone you'd like to add, or if you'd like to suggest changes, feel free.
The premise is this:
We all know Nightmare Before Christmas, right? Good. Now, how would you like it if you got to cast some of your favorite rock stars in the roles? I had a blast going with this one...

Jack Skellington:

This skeleton is known by most every teenager everywhere. Even if they haven't seen the movie, they tend to recognize his ghoulish visage. He's very tall and rather skinny, and is quite mischievous. Who better to play him than William Beckett?


You can't get much taller and skinnier than that, and he certainly has the voice to pull the role off. Plus, he makes a damn good skeleton.



Next... Who would play Sally?

Sally is the creation of Dr. Finkelstein. She is essentially both a rag doll and a Frankenstein's monster, and her limbs tend to fall off occasionally. She has red hair. The most obvious choice to play her is Hayley Williams.

She's got the hair and the pipes... It just seems like a no-brainer.


For Oogie Boogie, the meanest, sleaziest, ooziest character in all of Halloweentown, I would cast Bert McCracken.


No, this is not an attack at his character. I happen to think Bert is awesome, but he is a bit... grungy. He's also skinny for the part, but that's okay. Just imagine him singing Oogie Boogie's Song... Can you dig it? And that insane giggle of his would fit the part well.

For the roles of Lock, Shock, and Barrel, the mischievous kids who sing Kidnap the Sandy Claws, I would cast WiL Francis as Lock, Lily Allen as Shock, and Frank Iero as Barrel.

He's certainly crazy enough. Haha, Wil's awesome, though.

Weird choice, I know. She could pull it off, though.

He's wacky enough... and short enough. Just kidding just kidding. Really, though, he IS.


Keith Richards would be Dr. Finkelstein.


Adam Lazzara would be the Mayor.
Sad:

Happy:


Vampires would be Brendon Urie, Ryan Ross, Mike Carden, Gerard Way, Patrick Stump and Zacky Vengance.











Also, I would cast the Butcher (Andy Mrotek) as this guy. Yeah.

Do you see it? Cause I do...

Hope you liked this list. You should try making some sometime. It cures boredom in a flash.
