Is the great Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween or Christmas movie. You must pick one. What say you?

It's a Christmas movie. Just like Die Hard.

Christmas.

It literally takes place Christmas Eve with Jack acting as Santa.

Christmas
Black Christmas is also a Christmas movie. It is also a proto-slasher.

Yet has the greatest Halloween song ever written! I need a live action musical, just for this song.

This is Halloween

I’ve found fewer things in the world that let me know that me and person are incompatible and than them liking to watch TNBC around Christmastime.

Mark me down as emphatically “Halloween movie”

That’s the beauty of it. It’s a Halloween movie trying to be a Christmas movie. Much like the main character.

Oogie Boogie is an underrated Disney villain.

I think the director has said it's a Halloween movie because it's how the citizens of Halloween Town react to Christmas.

To me, this still doesn't make any sense.

I think it's a great Halloween and Christmas movie, and a traditional watch for me after Halloween because of the timeline.

It's also probably my favorite movie of all time. I absolutely adore it.

Both the director and the composer say it’s a Halloween movie.

Great thread topic.

Halloween - but mainly due to the overwhelming Halloweentown characters. However, it could be Christmas since it actually begins AFTER Halloween.

This. It's somewhere in between. Jack wants to be Christmas but in the end he realizes who he is and proudly accepts being The Pumpkin King again.

Plus, what time of year does it start showing up on TV? Always Halloween, never Christmas as far as I know.

Dude, the story begins after Halloween is over. Not the release date.

Sheesh.
