The Characters

      • Jack, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, grows a bit tired of being scary all the time and wants to try something more merry.

      • Sally is a rag doll that has trouble fitting in, like her good friend, Jack. Even though she has a bad feeling about making Christmas, she tries to support her friend's ambitious plan.

      • The Mayor of Halloween Town loves getting the town involved in the Halloween preparations. A man of many moods, he gets nervous when Jack goes on an adventure to Christmastown.

      • Oogie Boogie is the bug-filled, gambling Boogie Man of Halloween Town who is not a very polite host when Santa is brought to his hideout.

      • Dr. Finklestein, the mad scientist of Halloween Town, created Sally to have an intelligent companion to spend time with.

      • The lone girl of Oogie Boogie's group of henchmen, Shock is the most clever trick-or-treater in the bunch.

      • The devil-costumed Lock thinks of himself as the leader of his small pack of troublemakers.

      • Barrel is the youngest of the pack and can always be seen wearing a skeleton costume.
