Poll The Nightmare Before Christmas: Halloween of Xmas Movie? (10 votes)

Halloween 20%
Christmas 30%
Shaddap Ya Mouth or I Slappa Ya Face! 50%

I've had this argument for many moons now.

On One Hand: The main character is Jack Skellington the Pumpkin King. Most of the film takes place in Halloween Town. It was released in October. There is no actual Christmas songs in it.

But On The Other: Christmas is in the title. Most of the events in the film happen at Christmas. Santa plays a part in the movie.

Christmas. Since the plot is largely about celebrating and obsessing over Christmas.

It was a Christmas movie because the main character learned the true meaning of it.

@black_arrow: @the_tree: But the plot was mostly to do with Jack getting sick of Halloween and he just stumbled upon Xmas, if you replaced Xmas with any other holliday the plot would be the same.

The plot from most of Christmas movies is that a character has to learn the true meaning of it. It tends to happen with all holiday movies If Jack wanted to learn the meaning of Easter holiday then the movie would be an Easter holiday. Also most of the plot is centered in the time of Christmas and The main character supplanted Santa Claus another trend that tends to appear in Christmas movies

Yea but pretty much the entire film is set in Halloween Town and it doesn't have one single song about Xmas.

Well that is true. I think that the movie is about the two things, It has characteristics that appear in both Christmas movies and Halloween movies.

I shouldn't be surprised that option 3 has the most votes
