The Nightmare Before Christmas

Ultra rare card

Tired of scaring humans every October 31 with the same old bag of tricks, Jack Skellington, the spindly king of Halloween Town, kidnaps Santa Claus and plans to deliver shrunken heads and other ghoulish gifts to children on Christmas morning. But as Christmas approaches, Jack's rag-doll girlfriend, Sally, tries to foil his misguided plans.

ATK comes from the number of votes the film has received on TMDb. It’s what sets the rarity. DEF comes from the audience rating, weighted so that a film with three votes can’t jump ahead. It doesn’t depend on rarity: a Common can excel at it.
