2. Jack Skellington

Played by: Chris Sarandon and Danny Elfman (singing voice)

Appeared in: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

One of Tim Burtons most popular and recognisable characters, were all familiar with Jack from things like T-shirts, bags and fan artwork on the internet and theres a good reason why. The Hero of Halloween Town, Jack Skellington (The Pumpkin King!) is growing tired of doing the same old thing every year and so decides to have a go at making Christmas instead; with disastrous consequences. A mix of an iconic character design and an original story alongside, Jack is an example of Tim Burtons singular imagination working at its best.
