About the Nightmare Before Christmas word search

The rest of the list picks up the film's GOTHIC look, from the curling SPIRAL hill to the NIGHTMARE of a skeleton delivering presents on CHRISTMAS EVE. It works in October and December alike, which makes it a handy sheet for the weeks between the two holidays. Multi-word names (OOGIEBOOGIE, PUMPKINKING, HALLOWEENTOWN, CHRISTMASEVE) are hidden without spaces. The word list runs medium, best from about 8 up, and the answer key is on page two of the PDF. For more, try the Halloween word searches, the Christmas word searches and the Disney word searches, or the skeleton word search, pumpkin word search and December word search.
