Henry Selick interview. He stated it's a Halloween movie. Something like even with the Christmas focus, it's all about Halloween's outsider perspective of it.

Original script of the movie showed what was behind some of the other doors. Fourth of July Land was eternally Revolutionary-era America. You know like that one part of Rudolph's Shiny New Year.

It's a movie you watch on November 1st in order to fully make the transition between Halloween and the start of the Christmas season.
Weird thing about this movie is you can't watch it at either point of the year without it getting awkward when the other part comes in.
It's weird to watch on Christmas because of the first act centers mostly around Halloween and leaves this weird first impression.
it's weird to watch on Halloween because the rest of it is centered around Christmas.
It's a movie about cultural appropriation and how segregation is a good thing.

>The Telluride Horror Show, Colorado's oldest horror film festival, brought Henry Selick to town for a special screening of his classic The Nightmare Before Christmas, and they brought me to host a Q&A with him. It's been a blast - not only was the Q&A great, but Selick is a really funny and smart guy to hang out with.
>The Q&A ended with a terrific question, as a little girl in the crowd raised her hand and asked "Is this a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie?"
>Leave it to the kids to cut right to the heart of the matter! This is a question that has tugged at film fans for more than 20 years, and here we had the director himself, the man who had taken Tim Burton's germ of an idea and made a masterpiece out of it, to answer.
>After the question was asked Selick looked a little surprised, and he said, "Oh boy," likely knowing that whatever answer he gave would be controversial.
>"It's a Halloween movie," he said, definitively. He acknowledged that a lot of people liked the Christmas Town stuff waaaaay better than the Halloween Town ("They love Santa and say he's all-powerful," he said), but he had to tell the truth: this is a movie about Halloween, and the people of Halloween, and how they react to something like Christmas.
