Jack Skellington is the pumpkin king of Halloween Town. Every year he organizes the ghoulish Halloween festivities. He is beloved and renowned by all the residents of Halloween Town, but Jack is getting bored. Every year he does the same thing for Halloween. He yearns for something new, but what?
Then Jack stumbled upon a magic forest with portals to all of the other holiday towns. One in particular catches his eye; Christmas Town. He returns, elated, from his visit to Christmas Town. He is determined to organize Halloween Town to celebrate Christmas this year instead. But Halloween Town may not quite be ready for holiday cheer. Unsurprisingly, Halloween Town's Christmas experiment does not quite go as planned...
What needs to be said about The Nightmare Before Christmas? Not a horror movie, but undoubtedly the most famous horror-themed holiday film. It was in production for three years. Claymation requires an incredible amount of work and time. But in the end it came out as probably one of the most impressive feats of claymation work ever created. This, plus wonderful characters, plot, and songs, make The Nightmare Before Christmas one of the best Christmas movies out there today. Watch this one with the family, save Black Christmas for later.
4.5 Sandy Claws out of 5Rated PG for some scary images.
Watch the Nightmare Before Christmas trailer.
