Fascinating facts
Tim Burton said the original poem was inspired by the sight of Halloween decorations being immediately replaced by Christmas decorations in shops.
The Nightmare Before Christmas’ writer and producer Tim Burton had planned to direct the film as well – but a scheduling conflict arose while he was making 1992’s Batman Returns, and so he invited Henry Selick to take his place.
