The Night Mare Before Christmas or Halloween movie. I think that it is a Christmas movie

Some people think The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Christmas movie, some think it’s a Halloween movie. I think The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Halloween movie because all the major characters are from Halloweentown. Such as Jack Skellington, Sally, Dr. Finklestein, Oogie Boogie, the Mayor, and Zero.

As Jack wonders through the forest he stumbles upon a doorway to Christmastown, he is impressed by the excitement and feeling of Christmas. Jack shows Halloweentown what he has found and tries to explain Christmas. He decides to take over Christmas by getting the residents of Halloweentown to follow through with his plan. Part of his plan is to get the kid trio to kidnap “Sandy Claws’’. Sally has a horrible premonition that Jack’s Christmas is going to go all

In its infant stages, Halloween was simply a concept - and that concept was about a babysitter who is stalked by the boogeyman. John Carpenter made the comment “We are all afraid of the same things… so that makes a movie that deals in our fears, universal.” Irwin Yablans (executive producer to Halloween) came up with the title for the film and set the stage for the babysitter, the boogeyman, and the darkest holiday of the year. John Carpenter (director / co-writer / music composer) and Debra Hill (script supervisor) went to Moustapha Akkad and requested the funds to create this film. Moustapha had not previously entered into the horror genre prior to this venture.

I believe that The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Halloween movie because the main events occur in Halloween town. For example, when the kids steal Santa, they take him to Halloween town to show Jack how clever they are to capture him. Santa stays in Halloween town so he can not continue Christmas.

The Nightmare Before Christmas starts off in a town that the movie revolves around the whole movie, which is Halloweentown. In this town, they have a “Pumpkin King,” who is the ruler of the town, and his name is Jack Skellington. Jack begins to feel bored of the same old holiday they have every year, Halloween, and he soon stumbles upon trees that are decorated with symbols for each holiday. Jack is intrigued by the door that has a bright green christmas tree on it decorated with little painted-on ornaments. He opens the door and falls into the tree and gets transported into Christmasland. He explores the small land that he was pulled into, and then he returns home to tell his town about the place that he has just discovered. He tells them that they are going to make their own Christmas. The town teamed up and worked on making terrifying toys to bring “joy” to the children and to give Santa a year off. Jack sent 3 kids, Shock, Lock, and Barrel, to kidnap Santa and keep him safe while they were delivering presents to the kids of the world. Sally, who has always secretly admired Jack, told him she had a bad vision that stealing Christmas was a terrible idea, but Jack didn't listen. Jack finally got on his sleigh with his skeletal reindeer and rode off into the night delivering presents. Every house he went to called the police because the toys were trying to kill them and eventually the military was trying to shoot him out of the sky. When he was shot down, he realized Sally
