You know what really grinds my gears? When Nightmare Before Christmas fanfictions completely ignore Turkey Day! It's right in the middle of Halloween and Christmas Day! (Well for the United States anyway)
So, I'm here to bring the music from my soul... well kind of, I just take a song from the movie or video game that followed and placed in my fanfiction, while changing the lyrics to make it look new.
12 Nightmares of Christmas
Nightmare of Turkey Day
Turkey Day Town: November 27/ Turkey Day, 07:00 hours
In the middle of the forest, right in front on the door of Turkey Day, Jack Skellington was sleeping. He must have passed up from staying up all night and running to the holiday doors.
Meanwhile inside of Turkey Day Town. Oogie Boogie's shadow was seen covering a large area near the picnic table.
Several Pilgrim and Native women were setting up the table, when one of the Pilgrims took notice of the shadow.
Soon every Pilgrim and Native American came out and just stared at the shadow.
The boogeyman laughed evilly as he came out from behind the barn. All citizens of Turkey Day Town then looked up at him and gave out a loud shriek. They all then began to run away from Oogie Boogie.
"Get back here," he howled.
Then the shadow stood up and became its own separate being. The real Oogie stood back as his shadow did the dirty work.
The shadow rushed ahead and appeared in the front of some Pilgrims. They took out their guns and kept shooting at the shadow, but it was no use.
The shadow laughed, before covering the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims struggled free, until when the shadow let them go. The Pilgrims then were corrupted as their eyes were now bright red.
Some Native American children hid under some picnic table, but to no avail as the shadow tagged them, corrupting their minds.
The shadow then ran and tagged every Pilgrim and Native American, making them corrupted and have bright red eyes.
The shadow then went back to being a normal one, as Oogie Boogie laughed at his new army. All the citizens of Turkey Day Town were now in his control.
They all stood behind him, as he saw the giant turkey named Cheese in the distance.
"Oh, he shall do just fine in my stew," Oogie said.
Then he opened his mouth wide and he began to absorb in the wind. Cheese tried to run from it, but he soon flew towards the boogeyman back first.
When Cheese was in reach, Oogie grabbed him by the long then laughed in the turkey's face, before tieing him down on a table.
Meanwhile at the holiday doors, Jack snapped awake.
"Whoa, must have dozed off," the pumpkin king yawned with rubbing the back of his head.
He then glared at the holiday door in the shape of a turkey. Jack went up to it and opened it. He then fell into the town.
Seconds later he opened his eyes in Turkey Day Town, and saw the towns citizens gathering around Oogie Boogie and the picnic table where the Turkey Cheese was tied up at.
He rushed towards the crowd, hopping he could set Cheese free.
Oogie Boogie saw him coming and started laughing, before going into song.
Song: The Boogie Song
OOGIE BOOGIE
Well, well, look what the bat dragged in.
A turkey, huh?
Oh, I'm really hungry
So you're the one everybody's talkin' about, ha, ha
You're jokin', you're jokin'
I can't believe my eyes
You're jokin' me, you gotta be
This can't be the right bird
He's hairy, he's big
I don't know which is worse
I might just split a seam now
If I don't die laughing first
When Mr. Oogie Boogie says
There's trouble close at hand
You'd better pay attention now
'Cause I'm the Boogie Man
And if you aren't shakin'
Then there's something very wrong
'Cause this may be the last time now
That you hear the boogie song, ohhh
THE NATIVE AMERICANS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ohhh
THE PILGRIMS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ohhh
THE NATIVE AMERICANS
Ohhh, he's the Oogie Boogie Man
OOGIE BOOGIE
Well if I'm feelin' antsy
And there's nothin' much to do
I might just cook a special batch
Of snake and spider stew
And don't ya know the one thing
That would make it work so nice?
A roly-poly big turkey to add a little spice
THE PILGRIMS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Oh, yeah
THE NATIVE AMERICANS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ohhh
THE PILGRIMS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE AND ALL TOWN CITIZENS
Oh, yeah, I'm (he's) the Oogie Boogie Man
Jack Skellington
Release him now
Or you must face the dire consequences
The turkey was pardoned
So please, come to your senses
OOGIE BOOGIE
You're jokin', you're jokin'
I can't believe my ears
Would someone shut this fella up
I'm drownin' in my tears
It's funny, I'm laughing
You really are too much
And now, with your permission
I'm going to do my stuff
Jack Skellington
Well, what are you going to do?
OOGIE BOOGIE
I'm gonna do the best I can *Winks to camera*
(Musical interlude)
Oh, the sound of rollin' dice
To me is music in the air
'Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie Man
Although I don't play fair
It's much more fun, I must confess
When lives are on the line
Not mine, of course, but this, old bird
Now that'd be just fine
Jack Skellington
Release him fast
or you will have to
Answer for this heinous act
OOGIE BOOGIE
Oh, brother, you're something
You put me in a spin
You aren't comprehending
The position the turkey's in
It's hopeless, it's finished
It's haven't got a prayer
'Cause I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie
And he ain't going nowhere
After the song, the boogeyman pointed at Jack Skellington.
"Get him," Oogie shouted.
All the Natives and Pilgrims then charged up to the pumpkin king.
Oogie Boogie then turned towards Cheese, and picked up the sword off the table. He then placed the sword at the turkey's neck, ready to chop it off.
Meanwhile Jack was in a big ball of violence with the Natives and the Pilgrims. He soon escaped and walked back a little.
As the corrupted began to walk closer to Jack, he thought of an idea. He then placed on the scariest look every while growling loudly at them.
This caused the citizens to go pale and revert back to normal. They all screamed while running away.
Then just as Oogie Boogie was going to slice the turkeys head off, Jack quickly kicked it out of his hands. As the sword flew in the sky, Jack reached and grabbed the sword.
Jack Skellington swung the sword at his opponent and chopped off Oogie Boogie's right arm. The arm fell to the ground with the bugs starting to fall through the hole.
"My bugs- My precious bugs," Oogie cried as the bugs fell through the arm hole.
The boogeyman then ran away, with bugs still falling out.
"He'll be back," Jack sighed turning to Cheese.
Cheese was still tied up on the picnic table. Jack used the sword to cut the ropes, setting the turkey free. Then Cheese quickly got up and gobbled away. Jack Skellington sighed before leaving.
Halloween Town: November 27, 14:00 Hours
Jack Skellington was rushing back to Halloween Town's front gate. Sally and Edgar Allen were there waiting. Jack opened the gate and entered town sighng.
"Did you get him," Sally asked.
"Yeah but-," Jack started.
"He'll be back," Edgar Allen fished.
"Yeap," Jack sighed.
And that folks is how you make Turkey Day get involved in a Nightmare Before Christmas fanfiction. Is it really the end of the Boogeyman? Be honest, what do I need to work on?
Side note, I named the giant turkey off of the one Barack Obama pardoned this year. I'm as serious as Elmo's lesson today was about hair. (Don't ask how I know that) Oh, how about as serious as an attack from a bear! Nah, all you need to do is take your fist and shove it down it's throat. Anyway, duperghoul is out!
