Well, there isn’t anything quite like the Nightmare Before Christmas. But there are some inspirations that led to Nightmare. There’s a little bit of Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington in the Oogie Boogie’s Song.

There’s some Prokofiev and Stravinsky influence in the score’s orchestration, also.

He said many times that Burton and him were looking for a Kurt Weill’s approach, especially “The Threepenny Opera”.

Yes, I think you should definitely check out something from Kurt Weill, as suggested. You may find some similarities here and there.
