The Nightmare Before Christmas is back in theaters now to commemorate its 30th anniversary. The film, directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton, was not a smash hit upon its release, but has become something of a holiday classic over the years. And while there is some debate as to whether it counts as a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie, its spooky themes make many viewers return to the film every autumn.
NPR's Scott Detrow spoke with Todd Lookinland, the set builder for The Nightmare Before Christmas, and writer Jordan Crucchiola, about the enduring legacy of film.
