Jack Skellington, known as the Pumpkin King, is the skeleton ruler of Halloween Town in The Nightmare Before Christmas, the 1993 stop-motion film produced by Tim Burton and directed by Henry Selick. His mix of spooky showmanship and earnest curiosity made him a lasting Halloween icon, and short clips of the character have circulated for years on soundboards, in memes and in seasonal edits. The sound remains popular because Jack is instantly recognisable, even in just a few seconds, and his Halloween Town world still feels fresh every October.
