When the Mayor goes to Jack's house to discuss plans for next Halloween , he becomes increasingly agitated when Jack doesn't answer the door. At one point, he exclaims, "I'm only an elected official here. I can't make decisions by myself. This, combined with the Mayor literally being "two-faced," adds to the satirical nature of the character.
Though Jack ends up going into the Christmas Town portal, there are six other doors visible in the clearing, including one for Independence Day, Valentine's Day, St.
Patrick's Day, Easter, and Thanksgiving. When Jack returns from Christmas Town, he asks the Mayor to call a town meeting so he can tell everyone what he's discovered. During the meeting, Jack speaks at a podium in the shape of a coffin. The curtain hanging behind him seems to be decorated with broken hearts that have been stitched back together. When Jack reads a large stack of books about Christmas, most of the titles are just generic phrases connected to the holiday, such as "Santa," "Noel," and "Xmas.
However, Jack also reads some recognizable stories from the real world, including " A Christmas Carol " and " Rudolph. As Jack attempts to figure out what Christmas is all about, he writes out a "formula" that's full of typical holiday traditions.
Viewers can clearly see the phrases "sugar plum visions" and "egg nog" at the top of the board, and underneath, he divides "chestnuts" over "open fire. This matches his gate, which has a jack-o'-lantern design on the top of it — all appropriately spooky features for the Pumpkin King's house. This is likely a pun on the phrase " lock, stock, and barrel," which informally refers to a complete set of something, but the phrase itself is also a reference to various parts of a gun.
As the three characters are never seen without each other, and work together to cause chaos, their names suit them well. The floor itself looks like a roulette wheel, with unlucky symbols on the slotted spaces such as a black cat and the number There are also skeleton dice with skulls on them, and the middle of the roulette wheel features an oversized eight ball as well.
When Oogie Boogie rolls a pair of "ones," snakes come out of the holes — a clever visual representation of the common phrase "snake eyes. During Jack's presentation about Christmas, one of the audience members who asks a question is a witch. She pulls up her hat to reveal another witch who pulls off her hat to reveal yet another witch, and so on. Later, when the town members are shown making toys for Christmas, the same witch is making a set of nesting dolls, which is pretty fitting given her situation.
When Lock, Shock, and Barrel attempt to shove Santa down the tube that leads to Boogie's lair, viewers can see that he's is wearing underpants with a mistletoe pattern — a fitting clothing choice for the leader of Christmas Town. When the Mayor gives a speech before Jack flies off to Christmas Town, he's holding a piece of parchment paper in his hands.
Lock : To Oogie Boogie, of course. Barrel , Shock : Yes, he did. Shock : I think he might be too big! Lock : No, he's not! If he can go down a chimney Lock : down Lock Sally : [examining Jack in his newly-finished Santa suit] You don't look like yourself, Jack.
Not at all. Jack Skellington : Isn't that wonderful? It couldn't be more wonderful! Sally : [holds up the clipboard sketch of him] But you're the Pumpkin King! Jack Skellington : Not anymore! Jack Skellington : I feel so much better now! Sally : [pulling a loose thread from his cuff] Jack, I know you think something's missing, but Jack Skellington : [lightly] Ow.
Sally : Sorry. Jack Skellington : You're right. Something is missing. But what? I've got the beard, the coat, the boots, the belt. Lock , Shock , Barrel : [come in] Jack, Jack! This time we bagged him! Lock : This time we really did. Barrel : He sure is big, Jack! Shock : And heavy! Santa : [bursting out the bag] Let me out! Jack Skellington : Sandy Claws What a pleasure to meet you. Jack Skellington : Wh -! Why, you have hands!
You don't have claws at all! Santa : [dazed] Where am I? Jack Skellington : Surprised, aren't you. I knew you would be. You don't need to have another worry about Christmas this year. Consider this a vacation, Sandy. A reward. It's your turn to take it easy. Santa : B-But there must be some mistake! Jack Skellington : See that he's comfortable Just a second, fellas! He also sports a barbed tail, and revels in his role as leader. As a result, he gets upset when others insult him, or if they try to take the lead.
