Jack Skellington (The Nightmare Before Christmas)
Last Updated on: November 15th, 2024
Who is Jack Skellington?
Jack Skellington is the main protagonist of the 1993 stop-motion animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas, which was directed by Tim Burton. He is the “Pumpkin King” of Halloween Town, a fantasy world based entirely on the Halloween holiday.
Jack Skellington is known for his distinctive skull-like head, his spindly limbs, and his tattered suit. He is a being of great intelligence and imagination, but he becomes bored with the monotony of the annual Halloween celebrations and yearns for something more. He decides to take over Christmas and ends up learning valuable lessons about the true meaning of holidays. He is also known for his iconic song “This is Halloween” and his catchphrase “What’s this?”
He was voiced by actor Chris Sarandon and his singing voice was provided by musician Danny Elfman.
