‘Tis the season to get a little naughty and a little nice—that’s right I’m talking about The Nightmare before Christmas style. It has two of our favorite holidays smashed together in one of the most alluring ways. With the upcoming holiday season, it’s only fitting to talk about good old Jack, sweet Sally, and the whole bunch of townspeople that inhabit Halloween Town. Have you ever wondered which character from the ever so famous Nightmare before Christmas movie you are? Would you be Jack who is the town’s brightest leader and one of the film’s most conflicted characters? What about Sally, Zero, Oogie Boogie, or even the Mayor?
All of the characters have their own appeal and…sweetness…in their own way even though they are meant to be scary in their own right, but we can all relate to them in a little way. We all know someone who is a worry wart like Sally or introspective like Professor Finkelstein. Halloween Town wouldn’t be Halloween Town without all of these charming characters. Who do you think you would be? Take our quiz to figure out which member of Halloween Town you would be. The answers might surprise you more than you think!
Your trick or treat bag is full of...
It's Halloween night and you have a bag full of goodies, all of your favorite things in your big bag of treats. What is your bag filled with? Is it filled with a bunch of chocolate because you are a big worry wart and you need the comfort? How about gummy worms because you like how they wriggle down your throat? Do you prefer regular food, or do you want pretty much anything in there because you're starving?
Where do you like to reflect?
Sometimes it's nice to sit back and reflect on things whether it's on what's going on in your day or even what's going on in your year. Where is the place that you like to reflect? Do you like to reflect on a star kissed hilltop? Would you like to reflect in your bedroom where you have privacy? What about your work area where you can get things done, or somewhere dark where it's quiet?
What's the best Nightmare Before Christmas song?
What song really makes you think of this movie and gets you to start tapping your toes? Do you like What's This because you literally know every single word of the song? Do you like Sally's Song because it's more gentle? Do you like Oogie Boogie's song because it's more bluesy? or do you like This is Halloween because it is the flagship song of the film?
Describe your Halloween costume.
How would you describe your Halloween costume this year? there are so many directions you could go with your costume, which one did you take? Did you go comfortable so you could be out pretty much all night long? Did you go creepy so you'd freak everyone out? Did you go simple because you didn't want to spend the money, or did you go clever because you went to an office party?
What's your favorite part about Christmas?
Christmas is amazing and everything, but what is your favorite part of this awesome holiday? There is so much to choose from! Do you like the decorations because they are creative? Do you like the snacks because they are yummy and keep you full all of the time? Do you like the gifts because you like to guess what they are? or do you just like the feeling in the air?
If you heard a strange noise in your house, what would you do?
You are all snuggled up at home and then all of a sudden you hear a strange noise in your house. It doesn't sound like anything you've ever hear before, so what do you do? Do you instantly freak out because you don't know what it is? Do you think about what could logically be making the noise? Do you get annoyed because you don't want to deal with it, or are you the one causing the noise to begin with?
Are you naughty or nice?
Santa is looking over his list and he's trying to figure out who he will be visiting for Christmas this year. Did you make the naughty or nice list this year? Are you absolutely naughty without any questions asked? Are you totally nice without even thinking about it? Are you mostly nice but you have your moments? Are you naughty but you are in the process of rectifying it?
What adventure would you want to do?
Adventures are fun to go on, but everyone has a different idea of what adventure they want to do. What adventure would you want to go on? Would you want to travel to a new place? Would you want to experience a new love? Would you want to invent something new and exciting? or would you want to hit it big time by gambling?
What will you find under your tree this year?
You wake up Christmas morning and run down the stairs to your Christmas tree. Under your Christmas tree you see a box. You unwrap the box and you find your special gift. What is it? Is it the answer to all of your big questions? is it a sewing needle and thread? Is it food that actually isn't poisoned for once? Or is it a big lump of coal?
Pick a quote
Our favorite characters have some interesting catch phrases, but what about the smaller lines they have throughout the film? What line are you drawn to most? Are you drawn to the line accusing someone of being the one everyone is talking about, or the line saying they won't be poisoned again? What about the line asking about doors, or the line that seems very worried.
What was your trick or treating strategy?
When you were a kid, what was your strategy for trick or treating? There are a few strategies to follow and you can be successful at all of them if you play it right. Did you stick to your neighborhood and play it safe? Did you have your parents drive you around all over town? Did you split up with your buddies? or did you just buy a bunch of candy and take the lazy way out?
If you'd see a fortune teller, they'd say...
If you were to sit down with a fortune teller, they would have something to say about you. Ever wonder what they'd say about you? Do you think they would say you'd get an ulcer from worrying too much? Do you think they'd say that you'll take a life-changing trip soon? Will you mess with the wrong person one day? Or will you invent something world changing?
Your spirit ghoul is...
if you had to pick a spirit ghoul what would you pick? There are many different scary creepers out there, but you can only pick one from the list we have selected. Would you be Frankenstein because you like to bring back people from the dead? Would you be a zombie because you want to live forever? How about a ghoulish ghost or a scary monster?
What do you like to decorate for Halloween with?
It's time for you to decorate for Halloween, so bust out your favorite decorations and go to town! What are your favorite decorations that you turn to in order to make your house look extra spooky? Do you like to hang up a bunch of scary skeletons? Do you like black cats? Would you turn to a bunch of creepy tombstones to complete the look or how about some bugs?
What do you think of graveyards?
What are your thoughts on cemeteries? Are you one that likes to hang out in them or do you avoid them like the plague? Do you visit them from time to time just to chill out or do you not really visit them all that often because there really aren't any in your area? IS there a nice hill you sit to ponder on at your local graveyard or do you just stay in your own space?
Choose a Halloween movie
There are a ton of classic Halloween movies, but which one would you choose if you had to choose just one? Would you pick House of 1,000 Corpses because it is just plain scary, bloody, and all around awesome? Would you pick Nightmare on Elm Street because it's a classic? How about Young Frankenstein because it's funny, or Hocus Pocus because it's great for all ages?
Which Christmas movie would you choose?
Okay, you picked a Halloween movie, now pick a Christmas movie that you want to watch during the holiday season. Which one would you pick? Would you watch Christmas Vacation where everything just keeps going horribly wrong? how about Miracle on 34th Street where everything works out in the end? How about Charlie Brown Christmas where poor Charlie Brown is picked on, or Krampus where the movie is actually scary?
What spooky word describes you?
Pick a scary word that describes you the most. Sure, they may sound similar, but they are actually kind of different in meaning. Would you pick ghastly because people are just taken aback in fear by you? Are you spooky, not incredibly scary but still. Are you chilling like people get a chill up their spine from you, or are you terrifying like people can't speak when they see you?
Pick a number
Pick a number that you think would be lucky in your opinion. Everyone thinks a different number is lucky, but choose wisely when you are picking your number. Do you think 13 is your lucky number because all of the bad luck will actually rub off as good luck? How about the number two, the number of love? How about lucky number seven? There's also infinity with all of it's possibilities.
You know your friend is about to make a bad choice, what do you do?
Oh boy, you have a friend that is about to make a really bad decision. You know your friend is about to crash and burn, but what do you do to help them? Do you warm them and try to talk them out of it? Do you join in on the plan excitedly in hopes that you can help out? Do you come up with your own plan to compete with them, or are you the one with the crazy plan to begin with?
If someone asks you for a favor, what do you do?
If someone were to ask you to do a favor, how would you react? Not everyone is one to hop to the favor and do exactly what you want them to do. What do you do? Do you do it, but you definitely do it your way whether they like it or not? Do you do it, but you do it in a very hesitant way? Do you do it without any questions asked? Or do you do the complete opposite?
What's your dream career?
If you could pick a dream career, which carer would you pick? There are so many great careers to choose from that it's really hard to limit them down to just one—but you have to. Would you pick being a performer because you just love everyone's attention? Do you want to be a costume designer because you're artistic? How about an inventor because you're creative? What about a professional gambler where you're living the life?
If you were grounded as a teenager, how did you react?
Go back to the days when you were a teenager. We all got grounded from time to time. When you got grounded, how did you react to your punishment? Did you find loopholes in your punishment and go along with those? Did you sneak out all of the time? Did you stay put and do as you were told? Did you just do whatever the heck you wanted because your parents couldn't control you?
What would you rather be doing right now?
Is there another activity you'd rather be doing at this exact moment? Think about it really hard. Would you rather be finding a new activity to do? Would you rather be hanging with your man? Would you rather be in your space and tinkering around with some kind of invention? Or would you rather be hitting the town while being up to no good?
How do you get your crush's attention?
When it comes to your crush, how do you get their attention? Flirting seems like it would be easy, but it doesn't always come easily to everyone—especially in Halloween Town. How do you get your crush's attention? Are you playful and tickle their feet? Do you mold them to be more like you? Do you make them a bunch of nice gifts, or are you completely clueless in the matter?
