There shouldn't be a live action remake of this Halloween/Christmas classic, I'm just doing this for fun. There are different dimensions based on holidays. In the world of Halloween, Jack Skellington, a charming skeleton who is considered the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, has grown sick and tired of all the traditions involving scaring, shrieks of terror, and scary dances. While going for a walk in the woods with his ghost dog, Zero, Jack stumbles upon a group of doors, each one shaped like the symbol of a holiday. He gets most interested in the one shaped like a Christmas tree. Inside the world of Christmas, Jack finds himself amazed with all the bright colors, the snow, and the fact that the traditions are festive and jolly instead of dark and horrible. He shows his fellow monsters the wonders of Christmas and decides to run the holiday himself, with slight improvements. One resident, Sally the Ragdoll (who has feelings for Jack), sees a premonition of Christmas being ruined, but Jack is too excited to listen to her.
