2. It's actually a metaphor for Object Oriented Programing in C++

Full of references to pointers, encapsulation, and polymorphism.

If you know where to look.

3. My 4 year old wanted to see some Halloween movies

I'll hold off on this one til she expresses interest in polymorphism, encapsulation, and such.

4. Simple objects, nothing more

Objects:

Simple objects, nothing more
But something's hidden through a door
Though I do not have the key
Something's there I cannot see
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Hmm...


Polymorphism:

Harlequin: Won't they be impressed? I am a genius
See how I transformed this old rat
Into a most delightful hat?

Jack: Hmm, my compliments from me to you
On your most intriguing hat
Consider though this substitute
A bat in the place of this old rat
Huh! No, no, no, now that's all wrong.
This thing will never make a present
It's been dead now for much too long
Try something fresher, something pleasant.
Try again, don't give up!

Encapsulation:

Here, let me show you…
This is a thing called a present,
The whole thing starts with a box.
A box? Is it steel? Are there locks?
Is it filled with a pox? A pox?
How delightful, a pox!
If you please!
Just a box with bright-coloured paper,
And the whole thing is topped with a box.
A bow? But why?
How ugly!
What’s in it? What’s in it?
That’s the point, not to know.

And the Oogie Boogie Man is:

A sack full of Bugs!

7. In my house, it's an "any time of year" movie!!!

The artistry, story, and soundtrack are wonderful!

8. It's freaky....and I love it.

That long "It's Halloween" sequence at the beginning both awes me and freaks me out.

For our family, it ushers in the holiday season, starting with Halloween and ending with New Years.
