Credit: Inside The MagicIt’s almost time for Halloween! That means it is the perfect time to celebrate one of Dinsey’s most beloved movies: Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). Let’s take a look at the best items based on that classic film we can find at the greatest fall store of all, Spirit Halloween.
It’s officially Halloween time! That means it’s time to celebrate the one movie Disney and Hot Topic kids love equally: The Nightmare Before Christmas. Tim Burton‘s iconic film is the perfect send-off for the year, telling the story of Jack Skellington and his dream to experience something new.
Part of what makes the movie so beloved is its combination of two of the best holidays. Now, your Halloween decorations can easily become Christmas decorations! It’s like you’re killing two birds with one stone, which is definitely more of a Halloween-y act. Unless they’re two turtle doves.
However, it does make one wonder which place is the best for Nightmare Before Christmas goodness. The Disney Store is guaranteed to have high-quality items, but it’s expensive. Home Depot has tons of inflatables and the 13-foot-tall Jack Skellington, but that’s only good if you have a front lawn or an understanding spouse.

That leaves one perfect location: Spirit Halloween. Spirit Halloween is filled with more costumes, decorations, and accessories than you could ever need, especially when it comes to The Nightmare Before Christmas. On top of that, all of these items are officially licensed by Disney!
That being said, there are a ton of options to choose from, meaning it gives us the perfect opportunity to create a list of the best Nightmare Before Christmas items at Spirit Halloween. So sit back, grab a bottle of deadly nightshade, and take a look at the best that Spirit Halloween has to offer.

Not only is this backpack shaped like a coffin, but it also has plenty of Nightmare Before Christmas imagery without getting too childish. Jack Skellington’s profile is front and center in beautiful metallic glory, while the mainly black carry-on is accented with lovely blue nightshade and creatures straight out of the mind of Tim Burton. It’s a wonderful item that can be worn any time of year.
