Creepy Nightlights for Christmas

Brian Yalung — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 16:38:47 +0000

They may not necessarily be the cutest nightlights you may want for Christmas but if you loved the Nightmare before Christmas movie, then these nightlights should be sane enough for you. For people who love to get up in the middle of the night to grab a snack or just to go to the bathroom, the Nightmare Before Christmas Nightlights should be the perfect aid for you.

The nightlight features no less than Jack Skellington, a simple plug-in nightlight that should offer a different kind of addition to your home. While it does show Jack with a smile, kids who may not be too familiar with it may not approve of it, unless perhaps it is Halloween or something.

Regardless, it could be a great nightlight to have in rooms, or alternatively a neat gift to hand out too. At least people don’t have to worry about stumbling or tripping each time they get up from sleep in the wee hours of the morning.
