While most are aware that Jack Skellington from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" would need voice actor Chris Sarandon while talking, many may not be aware that he also had a separate singing voice. Danny Elfman, who also created the film's music, did the singing voice for the king of Halloween Town, even comparing Jack's dilemma to his own time in a band (via Kerrang). Saradon recalled his time getting the speaking role with ComicBook.com, and it was an interesting process, saying, "No, this is an audition, it's as simple as that. To my knowledge, I believe they had already done all of Danny Elfman's songs, that is, recorded them. Then I believe they had animated most, if not all of them. They were looking for a voice that could give them a reasonable approximation of Danny's voice, and I just happened to hit the lottery, quite frankly."
Sarandon, known for other horror titles such as "Child's Play," "Fright Night," and "The Sentinel," was thrilled to be a part of the Tim Burton-produced film. He talked about how amazed he was at the final product, and when asked if he'd voice the character again, he said, "I'd crawl on my hands and knees, from the east coast to the west coast, in the spring or the fall, to do it again. Of course I would. I love that character and I love that I'm part of a legacy of that character as well."
