The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
This Tim Burton-produced, stop-motion animated movie works equally well as both a Halloween and Christmas classic. Jack Skellington, the king of Halloweentown, is getting tired of scaring people. When he unwittingly stumbles upon Christmastown, Jack becomes determined to take over the holiday from Santa, even though his macabre mindset doesn’t quite mesh with the cheery concept of Christmas.
With its off-the-wall songs composed by Danny Elfman and unique, hand-crafted characters, The Nightmare Before Christmas is a wonderfully odd movie that somehow blends together two distinctive and extremely different holidays.
