  • Is Halloween Town a real place? I’m going over everything about how to get there from our mortal human world, through the various Holiday Trees, how to travel between realms, and where Halloween Town could actually be located in the real world!

    Listen, everyone! This deep dive into the the different Nightmare Before Christmas Holiday tree doors does contain some references to spoilers for the Sally book: "Long Live the Pumpkin Queen" but I'll let you know where those are and won't give away too much... in THIS video mwahaha. (I do a deep dive book review of it in past video, so check that out if you want.) ANYWAY, is Halloween Town a real place? Because we're looking at how holiday realms trees work, how they can be destroyed and regrown, and, using super elementary triangulation of certain crops, trying to figure out where the heck Halloween Town and other Towns are located in our mortal world! For fun! And, you know, some of these mortal portals might just be how Lock, Shock, and Barrel even found Halloween Town in the first place! So, where in the world is Halloween Town?

    Okay so just for a second, in the intro to the movie I vividly remember someone talking about the vampires in Halloween Town and having a record for the most blood drank...
    Can we talk about how sometimes they are going out and not just pranking for Halloween scares, but physically hurting and potentially KILLING people? That has always been a nagging concern in the back of my mind and I'd love to have a discussion start around this.

    I don't think Halloween town _is_ anywhere.
    It's like the realms of the Eternals from Sandman. They exist in parallel universes to ours, embodying an aspect of life, in this case Holidays.
    ...Well, American Holidays. But I bet somewhere in those woods Jack trampled over there are other circles of doors, this time from another culture.
    Multiple cultures can have the same Holidays, so there could be multiple Christmas towns and even Halloween towns with their own "King of the Pumpkin Patch".

    Based on the description of Thanksgiving Town, I think its location is Canada. Maybe in a southern Ontario or Quebec area where maple trees are in full Autumn colour. In Canada, Thanksgiving is mid-October, 2 weeks before Halloween. This would explain why the leaves are still on the trees in Thanksgiving Town, but not in Halloween Town.

  • @DeeFig66
    @DeeFig66 Рік тому +7

    Thanksgiving town just sounds like Canada in the early fall. lol

    • @DeeFig66
      @DeeFig66 Рік тому +1

      Oh and this might help. Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in mid-october so during that time, the leaves are in full color changing mode and it happens before Halloween. Also, our corn tends to ripen in mid-August to Mid-september which is closer our Thanksgiving. The pumpkins are ready in September-October AND we do have wild turkeys in the South-Eastern part of Quebec and Ontario... so... yeah, It's just Canada. lol

    The leaf thing… I think it’s also possible that Halloween town exists on a higher latitude than Thanksgiving town. Peak autumn foliage timeframes vary as you go north to south; northern areas are “ahead” so to speak, so the leaves turn earlier.
    Bonus fact I recently learned: In summers with lots of rain, the trees will hold onto their leaves longer! Considering that Thanksgiving town (surely) has many bountiful harvests, the summer rainfall in their area might be rather generous.

I also really love fall, though, so I'd probably spend quite a bit of time in Thanksgiving town. That leads me to one point we could consider. Here in Canada, Thanksgiving is in October, not November. That would fit better with the state of things in Thanksgiving Town and Halloween Town. Just a thought :)

Because no human (assuming) has been there and they wouldn’t be bothered plus since it’s in the ocean they would be the crossroads for all countries traditions and holidays. Furthering the theory of there being a door for every holiday.
