RIP Ken Page, voice of Oogie Boogie. It's been a year since we lost him right before Halloween. He shall be missed.
Since someone's gotta say it, Tim Burton did NOT direct this movie. He wrote the poem it was based on and has a producer credit, but the film was directed by Henry Selick, the same guy behind Coraline.
This is such a masterpiece! The stop motion, especially for the time is phenomenal, Jack's such a compelling complex protagonist, the culture clash of these different holidays is fun to see, and the songs are almost all bangers. Henry Selick deserves so much more credit.
This was my favorite childhood movie. It still stands the test of time. Funny, spooky, great music, great story. It's a classic.
John looking majestic as ever with his hair untied

RIP to the Oogie Boogie 🤍👻 I hope you guys watch it during Christmas time as well!

Another fun fact is the voice for Lock (one of the three Halloween trick-or-treaters) is none other than Paul Ruebens 😊
Them just now realizing Zeros nose is a jack-o’-lantern got me 😂
