Jack Skellington in 'emThe Nightmare Before Christmas/em'
Halloween is almost here, and audiences know this is the perfect time to dive deep into a seasonal classic such as The Nightmare Before Christmas. The animated adventure directed by Henry Selick is gaining strong viewership numbers on Disney+, as viewers get ready to celebrate the scariest night of the year. Jack Skellington was tired of only getting to participate in one holiday during the entire year.
The Nightmare Before Christmas introduces Jack's world and how everything works while the people of Halloween Town prepare for the following year's celebration. Due to how close Halloween and Christmas are on the calendar, Jack decides to go after Santa Claus as part of his evil plan. But the king of the horror genre never expected what Oogie Boogie had in store for him.
The voice cast of The Nightmare Before Christmas also featured Catherine O'Hara as Sally. The actress had already starred in both Beetlejuice and Home Alone by the time she portrayed the toxicologist who wanted to get away from Doctor Finklestein . Sally also turned out to be Jack's love interest. When it was originally released in theaters, The Nightmare Before Christmas failed to become a massive box office hit. But over the years, the story has become a beloved cult classic.
