The Nightmare Before Halloween

Many, many centuries ago, long before Jack Skellington discovered Christmas, Halloween Town was first built. Every single monster would join together and celebrate by scaring people every once a year. But on their 3rd year, they needed a king, a champion of frights. It was at this very day when Jack Skellington rises from the pumpkin patch and the town goes wild for his appearance and his scare tactics. A competition would soon be held between Jack and the worst and most disgusting creature to walk the land, Oogie Boogie.
