Today, it’s 29 years ago that John Lennon passed away. He was tragically assassinated on December 8, 1980 at about 10:50 pm in front of his NYC Dakota apartment. Lennon died on his way to the hospital. Only hours before, his killer Marc Chapman asked the former Beatle for his autograph. At his trial, Chapman told he heard voices in his head telling him to kill his idol. John Lennon left behind an enormous legacy, not only as a musician, but also as a writer, actor and activist.

Sixteen years ago, The Nightmare Before Christmas by gothic visionary Tim Burton and the immensely talented animation master Henry Selick was the first ever full length stop-motion animation movie. The film tells the strange story about a little world known as Halloween town. Jack Skellington aka the Pumpkin King, lives there solely to organize the yearly ritual of Halloween, in which his gang of goblins and goblins terrorize the world. Over the years, Jack became a bit disillusioned in his repetitive job, and longs to take over the job of Santa Clause. The result is a work full of clever gags, funny songs, genuine pathos and of course grand visual wit.
