Seventy-six minutes, ten iconic songs, and a sip for every one of Jack's terrible ideas — a cozy holiday crossover.
The shortest and most relaxed movie drinking game on the site, perfect as an early evening icebreaker or a cozy nightcap. It is also uniquely versatile: it works just as brilliantly in October for Halloween as it does in December for Christmas. Most triggers hang off Danny Elfman's legendary musical numbers and Tim Burton's iconic characters, keeping the game moving at a breezy, delightful pace.
