So, many years later, I thought I'd drop in, And there was old Jack, still looking quite thin, With four or five skeleton children at hand, Playing strange little tunes in their xylophone band. And I asked old Jack, Do you remember the night, When the sky was so dark, And the moon shone so bright, When a million small children pretending to sleep, Nearly didn't have Christmas at all, so to speak? And would, if you could, Turn that might clock back to that long faithful night, Now, think carefully, Jack! Would you do the whole thing all over again? Knowing what you know now, Knowing what you knew then? And he smiled like the old Pumpkin King that I knew, Then turned, and asked softly of me, Wouldn't you? I have listened to the original soundtrack since I could comprehend words and Stewert's voice is imprinted into my gray matter with both this ending and the beginning poem.

You know another theory that Jack and Sally could've had children is magic. Remember in the song "Jack's Lament" where Jack states "with the slightest little efforts of my ghost-like charms"? Just those lyrics alone gave me the idea that Jack could have possibly possessed magic, thus using that magic to impregnate Sally, and the magic itself forming a baby.

I feel like I should mention that Jack has SOME fleshy bits. I mean, there is no way he could sing like that if his tongue was all bone, and we know his tongue. What's more, when we see the tongue clear as day when he scares Lock, Shock, and Barrel during the Easter Bunny scene, the INSIDE of the skeleton is rather fleshy. It is possible, however slightly, that he might have some working hardware. As for Sally... Well, that's probably where this line of thought dies entirely. She's basically a bag of dead leaves. Up to this point, we know Finklestein needs to use SOME sort of organic material to make his creations, like bones for the reindeer or half of his own brain for the lady Finklestein, but we have NO idea what he used to make Sally. Maybe he used lady bits, maybe he used a spinal column, we don't know.

[@alastorlapid2365]

I don't think he's the kind of guy to go half-way (no pun intended) with his creation.

[@lottib463]

But we only see her limbs (feet and hands included) fall off, maybe only them are stuffed with leaves, or the leaves are like blood? I think she might have proper organs or something like that, maybe rotting pumpkins or something else? Idk. So maybe she can reproduce? I have a mini headcanon that Sally was meant to be Dr finklestein's wife, instead of daughter figure, and plans changed and Mrs finklestein was created afterward so maybe he did include the 'parts' to sally 😏 Just a few ideas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@aarondunbar4707]

"Sally" wasn't a thing in the original poem. The movie was originally started by Burton but as he had his hands full with the sequel of the 1989 Batman, he handed it off to Henry Selick which later became a legal dispute as to who owned the rights to the movie itself. Burton of course winning the suit, because the poem was written first. This however is NOT a Tim Burton film. And Jack is even seen in other films such as James and the Giant Peach which is also directed by Selick. So the theory doesnt hold up quite well. Now as for Sally's "becoming" she was a secondary role to the movie to further the plot and develop the story itself. As you can clearly see, all the interaction between Sally and Jack are quite brief and developing it would cost more money and time. When Disney finally acquired the rights to the movie, the love story between Jack and Sally's became a highly pushed marketing tool which helped facilitate fascinations like these into believing that more was there when in fact, there wasn't. This is due to Sally's unrequited love finally being noticed by the films end. Decades later the story was added on to by Other Writers and the story has taken shape into one of the "Greatest Goth Romances" ever created because of said merch. Not the actual story or even movie itself.

[@blehblehblehdracula]

Theory: jack and the doctor obviously have a close working relationship (as seen in the film). He and sally developed a relationship and decided they wanted offspring. Jack speaks with the doctor and makes his children scientifically.

[@gothicMCRgirl]

That would make a little more sense to me. After all, not only is the doctor responsible for creating and giving life to Sally, but he also does the same to the skeleton reindeer AND he even makes another lab assistant in his image towards the end, after Sally runs away.

[@Blueeyesinthesky]

Even if he wasn’t happy with sally after what she did, he really liked and respected jack so I wouldn’t be surprised if he made the kids for them. Like at least his creation married the pumpkin king lol

[@angelbyte]

Someone else also made an good point that when Jack was singing he implied he had magic of some kind and could've made Sally and him children.

[@alastorlapid2365]

They probably could have a child on their own. I mean, I don't think the doctor would go half way (no pun intended) on Sally's creation, so he probably gave her those organs. And Jack seems to be able to eat, meaning he probably has some organs. With sally being put together the way she is she'd probably have to be put under a strict house arrest though.

As far as I know, any artwork that features Sally with dark hair and sans stitches is from pre-production.

I always thought it was strange that the CD with the ost of The Nightmare Before Christmas had lyrical differences from the music in the movie. For example, Jack’s ballad in the graveyard after falling from the sky has extra lines in the version in the CD.

This movie actually helped me overcome my fear of monsters as a kid. The only reason I can come up with is because to my little self they all seemed light hearted and nice (I was oblivious to everything so I didn’t get the death or torture references or anything)

[@guy_does_nothing_productive]

Good to know im not the only one who was most afraid of "the one hiding under your stairs"

[@audhdGaming]

Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair 🐍🕷

[@alexpena4091]

Im more afraid of Im the one hiding under your stairs Simply because ive been watching SCP videos one of which is a creature thatll paralyze the part of your body that is exposed Exception being the head it has red eyes comes from under the bed and will not stop until the body part is gone

My local school just had a book fair where I found a Nightmare Before Christmas manga. It's the movie storyline in manga format.

[@SebastianSeanCrow]

I remember official Nightmare merch tat clearly showed that Jack and Sally had a child when I was in middle school (around 2010)

[@starlex3021]

Of course Jack has a child. His name is Sora.

[@waytoomanyfandoms6226]

No!

His mother was still waiting for him to come down for dinner when the Darkness overtook her.

Had a child... until Sora was norted. As one does to boys--nort a boy.

[@squingldoo4518]

I liked it when Jack said, "SOUL ROBBER!" Seriously though, I liked the fact that in the TNBC game Boogies revenge; each boss fight had a musical number.

[@akiothearsonist480]

I hope people remaster those Nightmare Before Christmas games like they did with the Medievil games.

[@DMJ94UC]

My guess is that Jack at some point went to the town with the heart-door (valentines day I guess) and found out why they like bones there too. Mustve been awkward coming back with skeleton kids like "whooops"

[@xxluseexx8121]

I used to have a mug that my mom bought me with Sally and a small child that looked a mix of both her and Jack. Now, I ain't saying this is canon, but still, people have brought up the idea before

[@brybaby89]

I remember the very first time I heard that epilogue, it still gives me goosebumps I mean, especially if you listen to Sally and Jack's duet before hand... all of the feels. This is my favorite of your videos I've seen thus far!

Thanks Benji!!!! They do take f o r e v e r, but fortunately are fun to make!

[@slenders1ckn3ss]

The last line, 'Wouldn't you?', still gives me goosebumps, just thinking about it. The message of that closing is just magical.

I was raised in a home without television and so while I loved the movie, the soundtrack was what I'm most familiar, and I love these excerpts from the poem. I was also very excites to find Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Christopher Lee did readings of the poem.

I came here to comment this, but found it in the comments a little ways down, so I'll just give you a like.

[@issytheamateurnerd9877]

What if children CAN be born in Halloween Town and they continue growing untill they're adults. Then, they stop aging because now, as adults, they can fulfill their purpose. But if a child dies and then comes to Halloween Town (like the corpse kid) they won't age.

[@xXHallowed_EveXx]

My oc wanda is a witch that doesn't age as she died young so If your theory is true my oc makes sense

Thank you for explaining books in video form I suck at reading so this is really helpful and informative

[@dream_walker9726]

*me remembering in 5th grade when we were told to write our own fairy tale and I literally wrote TNBC fan fiction and got 100 on it-* The plot was basically an elf who was bored of Christmas and knew of the old story with Jack and went to Halloween town.

[@lifewithlucy1504]

I thought when he says they kiss? He’s confused why they have hung mistletoe and then kiss because they hung it

[@Zancibar]

The first drawings are the ones that came first. I hope that helps.

[@Somefool669]

The "xylophone band" line was most likely a reference to Danny Elfman's band Oingo Boingo, just listen to the song "Grey Matter" and you will see what I mean! Great video by the way!

[@Chikadulce10]

I watch this movie every year on Halloween as my tradition. Been doing it for as long as I can remember. I would have honestly FREAKED out in your situation, to be getting that new piece of official lore in such an unexpected way. I’m so glad I know this now. Thanks for sharing it with the world who had no way of knowing otherwise 😅😍

[@DemonEyes02]

I wonder how the new book about Sally " The Pumpkin Queen" would fit into all this.

[@davyjones3755]

Was he a dad before he died, because if he got kids when he was a dead man,that would be a bit confusing

[@zephyr_heart]

Anyone else just go ahead and like it because they know it’s going to be awesome

[@enderborn6860]

so the clown could pull a joker and rip his face off like a latex mask ? danm

[@AliceJaneSyndicate]

I think the book had 3 doors to represent -birth/the beginning (the egg), -life/love (the heart), -rebirth/change/the end and the beginning [of the year] (the Xmas tree), and maybe Halloween town represents death/the end It all is ambiguously referencing time I believe and slighly hinting at duality

[@echoingvistas]

I know this is an old video, but your reciting of the ending VO gave me nostalgic shivers. I listened to that soundtrack endlessly as a kid. I still listen to the songs today, but I haven't played that CD in forever, so I completely forgot about that. Thank you for the reminder, it was very lovely.

[@Faye_K_Lias]

In the Oogie's Revenge game, I remember a piece of flavour text from looking at a guillotine where Jack mentions his childhood. If the game is being considered canon, that would likely mean characters actually can age and children can be born in Halloween Town.

[@meganshaw1949]

If you look-up the film's original early draft by the film's screenwriter Caroline Thompson online, the ending not only matches the film's ending dialog, but also expands the ending a little more. Plus you also get a lot more ideas of what ended up on the cutting room floor. You just type in Nightmare Before Christmas early draft and it should pop-up.

[@Nezziemonster]

I remember I had an old Nightmare Before Christmas album I had on my MP3 that was filled with covers of the songs and I think there was an intro bit where it alluded that Jack and Sally actually did have a couple kids.

[@trinketsphinx3212]

Jack was apparently a pirate, too. James and the Giant Peach used his VERY expressive bony face for a skele-pirate captain
