Jack Skellington is the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town in Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, first released in 1993. The stop-motion film follows his discovery of Christmas Town and his attempt to take over the holiday, and its mix of spooky imagery and catchy musical numbers has kept it a seasonal favourite for decades. Short clips of Jack circulate widely online because his voice and design are instantly recognisable, and creators reuse them every autumn for Halloween edits, reaction videos and themed compilations.
