Misuse. Canon couples like Jack/Sally don't count for the trope; and for Lock/Shock to count, at least one of them would have to be in a canon relationship with someone else.


* FanPreferredCouple: Apart from the already canon couple Jack/Sally, people often prefer Lock/Shock as well.

* SignatureScene: Both of the major scenes taking place on the spiral hill--"Jack's Lament", specifically the part where he walks up said hill against the full moon, and the final scene where Jack and Sally have their FinalLoveDuet--are heavily associated with the film due to being in the posters, streaming banners and the trailer.

* CreepyAwesome: Oogie Boogie. Sure, he's the BigBad of the film. But dang it, does he stand out! His VillainSong is probably the most well-known of the songs in the film, and it's really hard to not find him at least ''somewhat'' amusing. Add to that he's actually [[spoiler:a ColonyOrganism made of bugs wrapped in burlap]], and you have yourselves ''the'' Boogie Man!

* OneTruePairing: Sally and Jack are almost unanimously beloved together by the fanbase, as they compliment each other amazingly both aesthetically (just ask the movie's PerkyGoth fandom mentioned below) and personality-wise, both of them being [[NiceGuy kind yet lonely]] individuals aspiring for something more.

%%ZCE* SignatureSong: "This Is Halloween", obviously, though "What's This?" is also a contender.

Per cleanup. See this comment for discussion.


** The song "What's This" has quite a few passages that, when listened to in the proper state of mind, sound like they're describing something [[DoubleEntendre completely different.]]

** It gets worse during "Making Christmas". Jack seems to get a little ''[[LampshadedDoubleEntendre too]]'' excited. The lyrics make it worse:
---> I don't believe what's happening to me. My hopes, my dreams, my ''fantasies!'' *[[TheImmodestOrgasm giddy, high-pitched laughter]]*

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The limited screentime [[BigBad Oogie Boogie]] gets is a common criticism towards the film. Not counting a brief EarlyBirdCameo during the opening song that had to be confirmed via WordOfGod, he doesn't get properly introduced until halfway through the running time, and he serves as a PlotIrrelevantVillain whose only overall purpose in the plot is so that Jack can defeat him and redeem himself. Interestingly, he ''would'' have had far more screentime originally if he turned out to be an alias of Finklestein, but that probably would've been even ''more'' of a waste.

Luckily, spin-off material such as ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' and ''VideoGame/TheNightmareBeforeChristmasOogiesRevenge'' give him much more screentime.
