The Nightmare Before Christmas

About the film

Tired of scaring humans every October 31 with the same old bag of tricks, Jack Skellington, the spindly king of Halloween Town, kidnaps Santa Claus and plans to deliver shrunken heads and other ghoulish gifts to children on Christmas morning. But as Christmas approaches, Jack's rag-doll girlfriend, Sally, tries to foil his misguided plans.

The Nightmare Before Christmas (dir. Henry Selick) returns to theaters — the stop‑motion fantasy featuring Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon and Catherine O'Hara follows Jack Skellington’s ill-fated attempt to take over Christmas. A seasonal must-see for family and genre fans.
