8.0 / 10

Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king of Halloween Town, is bored with doing the same thing every year for Halloween. One day he stumbles into Christmas Town, and is so taken with the idea of Christmas that he tries to get the resident bats, ghouls, and goblins of Halloween Town to help him put on Christmas instead of Halloween -- but alas, they can't get it quite right.

You will question if this movie is for Halloween or Christmas if you don't know what Christ-mas is about. We celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on Dec. 25. He came to earth solely to die for all the sins of the world. Somewhere, our society replaced that with Santa Claus and gift giving and many adults, I've asked, don't know anymore, why Christmas exists. - @Friday, October 5, 2018 5:40 AM

Un-boo-lievable! Christmas is coming up! So I guess you'll have to watch it crawl by. I bet you know what that means. You ought to be good for goodness sake. If you're good, Santa Claus will bring you some tricks and treats, but if you're bad your name is going right on his naughty list and he'll bring you absolutely nothing but coal. - @Sunday, November 12, 2017 11:03 PM

155 people are members of the Catholic Community Such as myself may god be with them for the death of Oogie Boogie from the Nightmare Before Christmas was a Nightmare atomic bomb which traumatized me back in 2004 (causing me to avert my eyes at the sight), I learned to steer clear of this movie (and since then I never finished the movie from that part) - @Friday, October 6, 2017 7:14 PM

TRIVIA The visual style of the PlayStation video game "MediEvil" is inspired by "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Tim Burton originally planned to make a second movie "The Unlucky Clover", but never managed to theaters because he said it would "spoil the magic of the first movie". - @Tuesday, July 19, 2016 3:32 AM

I was hanging out with my friends and the question of whether this is a Halloween or Christmas movie came up. One of us suggested that you just watch it on both occasions. I just wish we'd figured that out before we broke 2 plates, a mug, my glasses, a lamp, and my friend's leg in the fight. - @Wednesday, October 14, 2015 9:45 PM

The idea of the worlds colliding and Halloween becoming Christmas and Christmas becoming Halloween was always something that intrigued Tim Burton, partially because he remembers, every Christmas he'd stick Halloween decorations on his Christmas tree. I like sticking Halloween decorations on mine at Christmas, too. Know why? Because I love Halloween. The Halloween decorations, which I like sticking on my Christmas tree at Christmas, are actually Halloween ornaments. - @Sunday, August 2, 2015 5:17 PM
