Description
Jack Skellington – the Pumpkin King's magnet who wanted Christmas because Halloween wasn't enough for him anymore.
Jack Skellington is the protagonist of The Nightmare Before Christmas — the Pumpkin King from Halloween Town, conceived by Tim Burton and directed by Henry Selick in 1993. He's a character who discovers Christmas during an existential journey and attempts to appropriate it with the best of intentions and the worst of results. Jack is the most specific animated character of aesthetic melancholy — the elite of Halloween, the most successful at scaring, yet still empty. He is the gothic Hamlet of stop-motion animation. This collectible Jack Skellington magnet, compatible with Lego, represents the Pumpkin King.
The fact that it was striped. The curly hill at sunset. And the king of fright who wanted something more and didn't know how to ask for it.
Jack's Heart: The Melancholy of Success as a Central Argument
Jack works in Nightmare Before Christmas because Burton wrote melancholy as the driving force of a genuine character—the emptiness of someone who does the same thing masterfully and wants something different without knowing exactly what it is. He is the most emotional character in any gothic horror animation.
This Jack magnet is for fans of Nightmare Before Christmas — and Tim Burton.
