Is The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie?

Christmas. Because Christmas is horrifying.

There. Do I win?

Both. But it’s more of a Halloween movie.

@Caravanfan You certainly win for being remarkably quick! Aspects of Christmas horrify me. That’s for sure.

The movie is defiantly “seasonally confused”
That said, director, Henry Selick, offered a very direct answer during a Q&A about the movie at Colorado’s Telluride Horror Show film festival in 2015. “It’s a Halloween movie,” Henry confirmed

@Forever_Free Bah! That’s just one man’s opinion. Where would the movie be without Sandy Claws?

This is the Day Before Halloween, and OOOOWEEOOOO, @Hawaii_Jake has posted a question in Social!! ;-0

^^ He also seems seasonally confused then to post if he thinks it is a Christmas Movie
