Directed by: Henry Selick
Starring: Catherine O'Hara, Chris Sarandon, William Hickey, Danny Elfman
Revealing mistake: During the song "This is Halloween" at the beginning, when the bats fly in front of the moon, the strings that they are attached to are visible.
Revealing mistake: The stick used to make Jack's dog levitate is sometimes visible, for example when Jack is alone on the mountain.
Other mistake: When Jack first arrives in Christmas Land he doesn't know what is falling from the sky (snow) but he somehow knows that the children are throwing snowballs.
Trivia: At one point during the song "Jack's Lament", Jack pops up between two tombstones. The tombstone on the left is a figure from the painting "The Scream", and the tombstone on the right is the horse from Picasso's "Guernica".
Question: At the beginning of the film, when some of the monsters introduce themselves, what does the clown say after he takes his face off?
Answer: "I am the clown with the tear-away face, here in a flash and gone without a trace."
