This is Halloween and everybody is making a scene over Disneyland's Nightmare Before Christmas Gingerbread House!
For the past 17 years, Disneyland has displayed an over-the-top gingerbread house at the Haunted Mansion.
This year, there is now a display of a 7-foot-tall gingerbread Oogie Boogie which is the villain from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Oogie Boogie is placed over the top of the 6-foot-tall house surrounded by 70 gingerbread bugs scurrying through the house.
