Life Size Jack Skellington

The Life Size Jack Skellington is an animated Halloween decoration made since 2017. He is dressed in his signature black pinstriped suit and bat tie from the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas". When activated, he moves his left arm, hand and fingers as his mouth moves and he says phrases from the movie.

In 2021, Jack was remade to feature the song 'Jack's Lament' from the movie.

Phrases (2017-2020 model)[]

"Hmm…Hmm…There's got to be a logical way to explain this Christmas thing.”
“Interesting reaction. But what does that mean?!”
"Ah! Halloween's finest trick-or-treaters! The job I have for you is top secret! It requires craft, cunning!”
“You're right! Something is missing. But what? I've got the beard, the coat, the boots.”
""Ho Ho Ho! (Laughs)"
"Who's next on my list? Ah!"
"Come on, Zero! Christmas isn't over yet!"
"(Laughs)"
"Thank you. Thank you."
"It's great to be home! Merry Christmas!"
"Sandy Claus...in person. What a pleasure to meet you!"
"Mr. Claus, I'm afraid I made a terrible mess of your holiday."
