Alternative Movie Poster Monday: Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas”

December 11, 2023

For transparency’s sake, we are just going to preface this post and say that this movie is one of our all-time favorites. Normally we post ten alternative movie posters for this weekly post but… we got a little carried away for this one. There is SOOOO… much to love about this film! From the characters, the voices, the MUSIC, the story and the list goes on and on and on.

The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown’s beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the “real world.” When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life — he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry.

Here is one of the official US posters along with an official French version.
