Walt Disney StudiosIf you’re from a certain generation, you’ve likely spent the final months of the year in an ongoing debate about whether the 1993 flick The Nightmare Before Christmas counts as a Halloween or Christmas film. However, the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas weighed in on this debate and I’m sorry to all the Christmas fans but you might be disappointed... When the director was asked whether he considers it to be a Christmas or Halloween film at a 2015 Q&A at Colorado’s Telluride Horror Show film festival, he said: “Oh, boy, it’s a Halloween movie.”AdvertisementSo that’s that. It was Henry Sellick that directed the film and not Tim Burton, as many people believe. But Tim was in LA making two features while I directed that film.”Let’s consider the record straight: it’s a Halloween film, directed by Henry Sellick.
