The Nightmare Before Christmas | Trailer

“The Nightmare Before Christmas ” is seemingly, as its title suggests, a Christmas movie.DISNEY ENTERPRISES, INC./America

The 1993 film follows Jack Skellington, the lonely Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, who wants more cheer in his life. So, after he accidentally discovers Christmas Town, Jack schemes to take over the December 25 holiday by kidnapping Santa — but things don’t go according to plan.

“Tim’s idea to combine Halloween with Christmas — where, unlike the miserable Grinch, a well-intentioned Jack Skellington takes over the Christmas holiday — is pure genius. 30 years after I directed the film, beneath its candy corn coating, skeletons and vampires, corpse child and witches, I know ‘Nightmare’ at its heart is a Christmas movie,” he said.“The facts: Halloween is over when the film begins, Jack sick and tired of his holiday,” the 71-year-old director continued.
