Has anyone noticed that Tim Burton had featured jack skelltington in two other movies, Beatlejuice (when Lydia calls his name, jack is on top of beatlejuices head on the merry go round....) and in James and the Giant Peach as the Skellington Pirate...just a thought...

Jack Skellington shows up in James and the Giant Peach during the pirate scene, as the captain.

Jack, in his scarecrow costume from the opening number, can be found in Sleepy Hollow.

Jack's head can be seen on top of Beetlejuice's Carousel Hat in the film Beetlejuice, also made by Tim Burton.

Jack also makes a fleeting appearance as one of many phantasmic imaginings of Vincent, in Burton's short film of the same name.

In Blink 182's "I Miss You" on their self-titled album, a clear reference is made to Jack Skellington and his rag-doll girlfriend Sally in the opening verse. "We can live like Jack and Sally if we want. Where you can always find me, and we'll have Halloween on Christmas, and in the night we'll wish this never ends."

Jack Skellington's face made a cameo appearance on a doormat in the first volume of the graphic novel series Lenore created by Roman Dirge .

Jack appears in an episode of The Critic in a short parody called "The Nightmare before Chanukka", done in the same puppet style as the original movie. In this parody, Jack wears a red suit rather than his usal black and striped one.


Jacks a working man...
