Hello, Guys, and welcome to another interesting and informative blog. In today’s blog, we are going to discuss The Nightmare Before Christmas Cast. Let’s talk about the plot of the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. In the Film, Christmas Town ran Christmas, and Halloween Town ran Halloween. And our main character, Jack Skellington, is the King of Halloween Town. The story takes an unexpected turn when Jack visits Christmas Town and becomes obsessed with Christmas. He wants to run Christmas himself, so he kidnaps Santa and leaves him with Lock, Shock and Barrel. Then he goes to deliver gifts. But the problem was that Jack was king of Halloween Town, so in his opinion, horror and creepy things were fun. He delivers creepy gifts like monsters and snakes, and the Military shoots him as everyone panics at a skeleton Santa handing out terrifying presents.
Later, Jack realised that warmth and joy are the true meaning of Christmas, and he had caused chaos by giving all those creepy gifts. Also, he realised that he was mixing two different holidays. But it was too late, Oogie Boogie had kidnapped Santa. Oogie wants to replace Jack and kidnaps Jack’s lover, Sally. The movie is about Jack’s adventure to save Santa and Sally.
