The Nightmare Before Christmas is an animated musical dark fantasy film directed by Tim Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, a resident from “Halloween Town” who stumbles through a portal to “Christmas Town” and decides to celebrate the holiday, with some dastardly and comical consequences. This is a classic theme for Halloween parties and costumes, and if you want some for inspiration, this roundup is your choice because I’ve gathered some ideas for decor of such parties.
Indoor Decor
The indoor decor for such a party can be DIYed, so it won’t take much money. For example, you can make some Jack Skellington and Sally pumpkins – just paint them in the proper way. Or make or buy some Skellington ornaments and decorate your own Halloween tree cause Nightmare Before Christmas is a fusion of Christmas and Halloween. Create some wine bottle lanterns with LEDs and their silhouettes, make a snake garland – there are tons of tutorials that may be useful.

Outdoor Decor
Even large outdoor decorations can be DIYed, for example, you can make Oogie Boogie from burlap and grocery bags, and make it glow in the dark, so your guests will be surprised coming to you to party. You can place Jack Skellington figure in your yard, and hang a man eating wreath on the door. Get inspired!
