Plot – Jack Skellington lives in the city of Halloween. When he discovers Christmastown, where during Christmas period Santa Claus distributes gifts to good children, Jack decides to replace Santa Claus and gives the children his terrifying Halloween gifts. Santa Claus is captured and threaten but thanks to Sally, the girl made of rags who's in love with Jack, everything is restored back. A beautiful fantasy and horror motion picture represented by "puppets": critics judged it both melancholy and romantic.
