## History

Jack Skellington is the well-known and respected Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, and it is his duty to oversee the celebrations. As a living skeleton, he is immortal and can remove parts of his body without harm, as is often demonstrated for comic relief. He is the most important of many Halloween spirits, with the implication that their job is to scare people in the real world on Halloween night, though all in innocent fun. One year, however, he got bored with Halloween and tried to take over Santa's job. Although he only meant well, Jack almost ruined Christmas in the process, but has since atoned for this by taking down his nemesis Oogie Boogie time and time again.
