A Soundtrack Assembled with Frog's Breath and Worm's Wort

  • The music of The Nightmare Before Christmas is as iconic as its stop-motion animation, thanks to the genius of composer Danny Elfman.
  • Danny Elfman not only composed the score and wrote the ten original songs, but he also provided the singing voice for the main character, Jack Skellington.
  • In a highly unusual process, Tim Burton provided Elfman with story points, poems, and drawings, and Elfman wrote the songs before a screenplay was ever completed. The script was then written around the finished musical numbers.
  • Upon its release in 1993, the film was only a modest box office success. It was through home video sales and yearly holiday re-releases that it achieved its massive cult following and became a pop culture phenomenon.
  • The soundtrack has inspired numerous tribute albums, with artists like Fall Out Boy ("What's This?"), Marilyn Manson ("This Is Halloween"), and Fiona Apple ("Sally's Song") covering the film's iconic tracks on the 2008 album Nightmare Revisited.
