Creator Noah Hawley has explained Fargo’s references to Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.Season 5 of Fargo has been littered with shout-outs to the stop-motion classic, including playing the original song “This is Halloween” in its second episode and having Gator Tillman (Joe Keery) and his flunkies wear character masks in its third. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Hawley broke down the reasons behind the references, starting with his own fondness for the film. “I like that movie!” he said. “It’s a specific choice, and I chose that movie because it’s a favorite of my house. My kids will grow up and watch Fargo one day and it will feel meaningful to them. We had to get a blessing from Tim Burton to do it, which is great.”That lineage comes in the form of Sheriff Tillman, a preacher who believes that enforcing the law puts him above it. Hawley previously described Tillman as the sort of sheriff who would thrive in 2019. “In the old days, a character like Roy, who is a Bible-quoting, constitutional sheriff, you wouldn’t have seen him as a square conservative, moral majority,” he said. “But I think what we learned during the Trump era is that we live in Tiger King America now…This is not the G-Man of old.”
