Sally says, "I know how you feel," in Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). Boris Karloff Frankenstein monster stop-motion puppet [from the stop-motion WIP Frankenstein Shots (2016) by Rick Baker based on Boris Karloff's Frankenstein monster in the live-action Son of Frankenstein (1939) and Jack Davis' Boris Karloff Frankenstein monster caricature poster from 1962 that was sold in Forrest J. Ackerman's Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine to monster kids] from the Universal Monsterverse meets Sally the Frankensteinian stop-motion puppet [from the stop-motion Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) by Tim Burton and Henry Selick, based on the book Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) by Tim Burton] from the Disney Burtonverse Halloween Town.

Boris Karloff was most famous for the Frankenstein monster in Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and Son of Frankenstein (1939), Imhotep in The Mummy (1932), Mad Scientist Gustav Niemann in House of Frankenstein (1944) [the proto-Monster Squad], Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the horror-comedy Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1953), hosting Thriller (1960–1962) and voicing the Grinch in How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966), plus Baron Frankenstein in the stop-motion Mad Monster Party (1967) [the proto-Nightmare Before Christmas] and Byron Orlok in Targets (1968) [the first mass-shooter movie proto-Natural Born Killers and Columbine]. Bobby Boris Pickett even did a Boris Karloff impersonation on "Monster Mash" (1962).

Tim Burton created The Nightmare Before Christmas first as a 3-page poem story in 1982 that Burton planned on making into a Rankin/Bass inspired stop-motion animated Nightmare Before Christmas TV Christmas special for the Disney channel or for one of the ABC, CBS or NBC TV networks but they all rejected it and Burton also planned to make a Dr. Seuss inspired Nightmare Before Christmas book after Burton finished the original live-action Frankenweenie (1984) starring Shelley Duvall, but Disney co-chairman Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg refused to release it and fired Tim Burton in 1984 because they had decided Tim Burton was too dark for Disney and too scary for kids. Tim Burton couldn't make The Nightmare Before Christmas at Warners because Disney Studios owned everything Burton created while he worked for Disney Studios. It was only after Tim Burton directed Batman (1989) for Warners which made a lot of money that Disney co-chairman Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg decided to let Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas get made but released it through Touchstone Pictures because Disney co-chairman Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg still thought it was too dark and scary for a Disney movie. They insisted that the film be officially titled Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas to capitalize on Burton's Batman (1989) fame, and to help keep Nightmare distanced from Disney movies. Tim Burton didn't direct The Nightmare Before Christmas film because he was directing Batman Returns at the time. Tim Burton created The Nightmare Before Christmas story, the characters, Burton wrote and drew the Dr. Seuss inspired The Nightmare Before Christmas book and Burton produced the film, Glenn Shadix, who voiced of the Hallowe'en Town Mayor, pointed out "Tim [Burton] oversaw every detail of that film. Henry Selick was wonderful as a hands-on director of the stop-motion and an incredible group of animators, but the heart and soul of that movie is Tim Burton. He made decisions all along the way. He wasn't at Skellington Productions in San Francisco all that often, but Tim was certainly at the helm creatively and in on all the decisions." Tim Burton explained, "When I wasn't shooting [Batman Returns], I would go up there [to the Skellington Productions studio] because I loved it, but most of the time, Henry [Selick] would just send me stuff – there'd be a few shots during the week – and so over the period of a couple of years, it all came together. Anyway, I would get a reel and I had an editing room and I would edit some shots. I could still affect things as I needed to. When I saw the first shots, I knew that Hallowe'en Town had to be darker and blacker." Tim Burton explained, "The initial impulse for doing it was the love of Dr. Seuss [How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1957) book] and those holiday specials that I grew up watching like How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)."
