Tim Burton’s holiday classic, THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, makes a return to the big screen just in time to celebrate the film’s 13th Anniversary this Halloween in stunning Disney Digital 3D™. The dazzling new make-over of the musical-fantasy was led by the film’s original filmmaking team of Academy Award® nominated writer/producer Tim Burton (“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “Corpse Bride”) and director Henry Selick (“James and the Giant Peach”) as well as the talented technical wizards at Industrial Light + Magic. Audiences will get closer than ever to Halloweentown’s beloved Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington (voice of Chris Sarandon), as he attempts to take over the Christmas holiday. Against the advice of Sally (voice of Catherine O’Hara), a lonely rag doll who has feelings for him, Jack enlists three mischievous trick-or-treaters – Lock, Shock, and Barrel – to help him kidnap Santa Claus. Jack eventually realizes his mistake but has to contend with the evil Oogie Boogie before he can make things right and restore the Christmas holiday. Fueled by an unforgettable Grammy® nominated soundtrack featuring ten ghoulishly delightful songs by Oscar® nominee Danny Elfman (“Corpse Bride,” “Big Fish”) who also provided the singing voice for Jack, Tim Burton’s THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS 3D combines the Oscar® nominated artistry of stop-motion animation with brand new state-of-the-art digital technology to create a unique and entertaining movie-going experience that is sure to become a modern holiday tradition.

The 2006 USAFHL Entry Draft was hosted by the Nightmares H.C. this season to everyone's surprise. That included the Nightmares, who were told two days before the Draft that Commissioner Darren Phillips was making a visit to Halloweentown and the Nightmares would be the host. Despite the last minute notice, the Draft went off well, with 4 of 6 teams participating, and with the Liverpool Limies drafting from a last minute list. Only the Calgary Rage were not able to participate in some way or another and they got compensated by having their 5 picks transferred to their Free Agent pool for a total of 8.    The Day started with Calgary receiving the first pick which was passed on because they weren't there, and Liverpool made its first selection off their list which was Tomas Kaberle. Kaberle, a Defenseman,  became the #1 Draft pick of 2006 and then the Draft continued with the host Nightmares which made their first pick of the Draft. The Nightmares selected Right Winger Brian Gionta, expressing their need for a good scoring Right Winger.    The Draft concluded with 5 picks each, and the Nightmares filled their roster to 20. Also important pickups were Tomas Vokoun, Goaltender and Brian Rolston a Center.    The season kicks off this Wednesday when the Nightmares host the Melnibone Stormbringers, which moved from Stalingrad earlier this off season.
