''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/1087971/chapters/2189276 Welcome to Halloween Town]]'' by Stellar_Dust
* Recommended by Nothingtoseehere
* ''Fandoms'': WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas, WelcomeToNightVale
* ''Synopsis'': A friendly hilltop community where the trees crackle and rustle in the wind, the sky is a glorious sickly green with scudding clouds across the inscrutable face of the moon, and the jack o'lanterns carve themselves while still ripening on the vine...
* ''Comments'': A great merge of Night Vale horror (brought to you by your friendly local radio announcer, The One Hiding Under Your Bed) with the playful darkness of the movie.

** Seconded. This fanfiction forces a master of fear to face it, and it works out excellently. Seriously, if you have even the slightest approval of NIght Before Christmas, you will probably enjoy The Bone Collector,

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2465535/1/I-am-the-Master-of-Fear I am the Master of Fear]]'' by Nightmare1
* Recommended by Tropers/LePouvantail
* ''Fandoms'': WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas, BatmanTheAnimatedSeries
* ''Synopsis'': It is Halloween Night in Gotham City, and the citizens are terrified out of their wits--and not by the Scarecrow. How will the Master of Fear take this?
* Comments: Despite what the title implies (Jack Skellington and Jonathan Crane in a competition over who's the scariest), Lock, Shock, and Barrel practically [[SpotlightStealingSquad steal this fic]] with the mischief they cause in Gotham City on Halloween night. This is not a bad thing, however. They're not even ''supposed'' to be out this Halloween as a punishment for a prank that went too far, and it's their antics being blamed on the Scarecrow (who has his own scheme) that kicks off the plot, and eventually brings the Master of Fright in confrontation to the Master of Fear. Well worth a read.

* ''Fandoms'': TheNightmareBeforeChristmas, Franchise/HarryPotter
* ''Synopsis'': Everyone knows what happened when Sirius fell through the veil. What if something different happened to Harry? Harry ends up in HalloweenTown where he meets Jack Skellington. Things change forever for Harry and Jack and nothing will ever be the same. Set 7 ½ years after the Christmas fiasco and immediately after the Ministry battle in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix''.
* Comments: I have to say, I was ''not'' expecting this to be any good (as much as I love crossovers, sadly most FanFic crossovers are lacking). While some things seem to be {{Hand Wave}}s or possibly even complete {{Ass Pull}}s, depending on how you look at it, the story is quite good, and everything makes sense if you can take some AcceptableBreaksFromCanon (like Harry and, according to the author notes, Sirius surviving the fall through the veil). [[spoiler: And I wasn't expecting Lily to show up in HalloweenTown either]]. The fic has yet to be completed. *goes to [[strike: bug the author to write more already]] review the fic*

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3692746/1/The_Other_Nightmare The Other Nightmare]]'' by Era Yachi
* Recommended by Tropers/PumpkinLore
* ''Synopsis'': Something is trying to destroy all of the holiday worlds, including Halloween. Jack must rally the other holiday leaders and somehow protect his own town from the unseen danger. But sometimes, the worst kind of trouble comes from within. Takes place a year after the film.
* Comments: The main plot of the fic is well-paced and tension filled, with enough mystery to keep you hooked. The characterzation is spot-on for the canonial characters and well-written for the new ones. This fic is only one of the few to explore how the other holiday leaders would react to Jack's Christmas fiasco, and the author handles the holiday leaders' mistrust of Jack well.
