The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Jack Skellington discovers Christmas Town and decides to take charge of another holiday.
The king of Halloween Town is drawn toward something unfamiliar. His plan to take over Christmas turns that fascination into a story about belonging, invention, and the limits of a very enthusiastic idea.
This title sits naturally at the point where October traditions spill into the rest of the year. Make it the closing film of a Halloween evening, then talk about which holiday’s world you would most like to visit.
