65 Nightmare Before Christmas Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Another successful Halloween has passed.

Jack Skellington is the Pumpkin King. He rules Halloween town and everyone says he is the most frightening thing in it. But he thinks Halloween is boring and wants to do something new for a change. Everyone is happy because another Halloween has just passed and they've successfully scared everyone.

Answer: Pumpkin

We know that Jack is the Pumpkin King, as he sings it in most of his songs. He sings "I, Jack the Pumpkin king" in his first song of the movie.

Answer: Halloween town

The door to Halloween town was a very interesting-looking pumpkin. Once through this door, the fantastic song "This is Halloween" played.

Answer: Jack

The full line is, "And since I am dead, I can take off my head to recite Shakespearean quotations. No animal now man, can scream like I can, with the fury of my recitations." This is the second song in "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Jack is telling the audience about how he is sick of being the best at Halloween scaring, and wants to do something else. The quote basically is part of his description about how good he is at his job.

Answer: half his brain

Ohhh, très morbid! "We will have conversations worth having." The second "Sally" did look similar to him but was much taller.

Answer: genius

'See how I transformed this old rat into a most delightful hat!'

Answer: Jack

Interestingly enough, Danny Elfman not only composed the musical score for the movie but also provided Jack's singing voice. If you listen closely, you can hear traces of Oingo Boingo and their historical 80's music career.

Answer: He wanders there by mistake.

Jack escapes from a mob of adoring fans and sings a soliloquy about how he is tired of Halloween. One of the lines is "I, Jack, the Pumpkin King, have grown so tired of the same old thing". Jack starts wandering with his dog, Zero, and finds a clearing full of trees. Each tree leads to a different holiday world. Jack opens the one with the Christmas tree because he hears music coming from it. Then he gets sucked in.

Answer: One of his ribs

He takes off his rib to play fetch with his dog. His jaw later falls off after his sleigh crashes to the ground and his dog brings it back to him.

Answer: Sally

Sally is discussing with Jack about her vision of Jack's Christmas. Sally is the only one who realises how much of a disaster Christmas is going to be. She has previously had a vision of a Christmas tree going up in flames. She finds Jack handing out various presents for the people of Halloween town. She tells Jack that she has envisioned his Christmas going up in flames, and that it will be a complete disaster. Jack shakes her off, saying that everything will be fine.

Answer: he's only an elected official

"I can't do this on my own! I'm only an elected official!" It's funny 'cause it's true!

Answer: France

From Jack's intro song.

Answer: Deadly Night Shade

Frog's Breath was used to cover up the smell of the Deadly Night Shade and, although lavendar does help you sleep, it doesn't work too well in Halloween Town.

Answer: Lock, Shock and Barrel

We know this because when Jack calls them to catch Oogie Boogie they each take off their masks when saying their name. They are Oogie Boogie's little henchmen.

Answer: Dr. Finkelstein

Dr. Finkelstein got very annoyed when Sally kept sneaking out, so he created himself a girlfriend who would listen to him. Her name was not known, but I called her Bullfrog. Dr. Finkelstein is the man who made Sally out of bone and cloth, just so he would have some company.

Answer: Red

This is the "Halloween Song". The Halloween town monsters have just gotten back from a night of haunting the human world. The line is "I am the one hiding under your bed, teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red" followed by "I am the one hiding under your stairs, fingers like snake, and spiders in my hair". This song is the first song in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" where the residents of the town are describing their scariest features. They then introduce the King of Halloween Town, Jack.

Answer: mice

Halloween making Christmas presents... scary.

Answer: experiments

This is said by Jack when he goes to the doctors for equipment.

Answer: Lock, Shock and Barrel

One choice was a tribute to another favorite movie of mine, Dogma. Gotta love Kevin Smith!

Answer: He's trying to figure out how to recreate the feeling of Christmas.

Jack comes back from Christmas town and tries to figure out how to recreate the feeling from it. He performs a lot of experiments but still can't figure out why Christmas gives him the special feeling. The townspeople start singing a song called "Jack's Obsession" because they can't figure out what's wrong with Jack. Jack soon finds out that he should try to recreate Christmas in Halloween town.

Answer: A Decorated Tree

We hear Jack sing this when he stumbles across Christmas Town. The line that he sings is as follows "What's this in here? They've got a tree. How queer!". Jack thinks this is queer because he has never seen this kind of celebration before.

Answer: Making Christmas

This is scene where they are preparing presents for the children for Christmas. The character in question is the red and black one, with a head that seems to be unattached at the jaw. He is making a hat from a rat. Jack has given them all toys to improve. They practically mutilate the toys, creating monsters (such as a doll vampire, and a killer duck, etc.) that end up scaring the kids.

Answer: bone daddy

The band tells this to Jack at the beginning.

Answer: The Easter Bunny

Happy Easter and Passover, everyone!

Answer: Yes; he convinces them it will be scary and they like it.

Everyone goes along with Jack's idea. It is because he proposes it at a town meeting and everyone misunderstands. They think it is supposed to be scary like Halloween. Jack knows that they don't understand but can't think of another way to get them all in on the plan. Then Jack starts assigning everyone jobs.
