In The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), what is the name of the Pumpkin King?

Jack Skellington is the Pumpkin King in The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993).

Jack rules Halloween Town and leads its annual celebration, but he becomes bored with repeating the same holiday. After discovering Christmas Town, he decides to organize his own version of Christmas, setting the film’s story in motion. His enthusiasm creates chaos because he does not fully understand the traditions he is trying to copy.

The stop-motion musical was directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton, who conceived the story and wrote the original poem that inspired it. Burton did not direct the film, a distinction that is often overlooked because his name is so closely associated with the project.

Chris Sarandon provided Jack’s speaking voice, while Danny Elfman sang Jack’s songs and composed the score. Sally, voiced by Catherine O’Hara, is Jack’s companion, and Oogie Boogie is the film’s principal antagonist.
