Summary
Tired of the scent of dry leaves and pumpkins, the Skeleton King turns his back on the same routine every October. Directed by Henry Selick, this stop-motion film brings to the screen a strange obsession that spans from dark streets to glittering winter fairy tales.
His eagerness to bring Christmas to his own town is enough to turn everything upside down. Set against the backdrop of Sally’s anxious gaze, this gothic musical strangely blends the chilly atmosphere of Halloween with the joy of another world.
