[This Is Halloween plays as normal until Jack Skellington interrupts]
Jack: Hang on guys, We're getting a phone call! [Jack pulls out his phone and answers the call] Hello?
Tim Burton: Hey uh, is this um, anybody from Halloween town?
Jack: Why I'm Jack Ske-
Tim: Yeah yeah yeah, um, listen uh, we need to stop production of the sequel.
[the citizens of Halloween Town gasp]
Jack: [shocked] Wait... did you just say...
Tim: Yes, we need to can the act.
Jack: Oh but no we're not! We were doing so well until you decided to bring your mouth into this and say we need to give up!
Tim: Look Jack, What I'm trying to say is...
Jack: [begins to get angrier.] I don't care what you're trying to say, what I want to know is why are we supposed to cancel this wonderful sequel?! Don't you know how many fans we're going to piss off if this happens?!
Tim: [sighs] Jack, I understand your true love for this, but we have other sequels needing to be made here.
Jack: Ohhh, so THAT'S how it is? You're going to suck these other Disney films dry of sequels, toys, terrible video games
and more?! And all I get is a appearance on Infinity and Kingdom Freaking Hearts?!
Tim: J-Jack, just calm down and we can work things out, ok? Maybe you could get a cameo or something.
Jack: Cameo? [suddenly shouting] Cameo my ASS! [covers phone.] Cover all the childrens ears for a few minutes.
[the children covered their ears for Jack.]
Jack: Thank you. *ahem* [uncovers phone.] Listen here...
[a few hours of F-Bombs later...]
Jack: Got it, Tim? [phone is suddenly hanged up.] Shoot.
Mayor: What did he say?
Jack: Guys, we can't make a sequel.
[The town complains.]
Jack: Even worse, my dog Zero unfortunately has to be in a dog movie... on Halloween. [sighs.] poor dog...
[The next day over at Jack's House]
Jack: [currently asleep until Zero come in.]
Zero: Bark bark!
Jack: What? You're famous?
Zero: Bark! [hands Jack newspaper.]
[Newspaper headlines reads: Ghost Dog become instantly famous! Hit movie with straight 10/10s!]
Jack: [beat, then crumbles up newspaper.] DAMN YOU, DOG MOVIES!
The End
