 It s been a year after the events in the original film, The Nightmare Before Christmas. After an improved, but all too familiar Halloween night, Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, decides to go on an adventure and find some new and original chills and thrills for next Halloween. When Jack returns to town after a few weeks, he sees that everything is not as it was before he left. When Jack left, Lock, Shock, and Barrel resurrected Jack s old enemy, Oogie Boogie, and together fooled the people of Halloween Town that Jack left town out of disgust, and won t return till they make a new, more dangerous Halloween. The townsfolk, believing Oogie s lies, helped build traps all over Halloween Town, and even Dr. Finklestien helped by making an army of dangerous ghouls and creeps for Oogie to command. Now in control of Halloween Town, Oogie sent his henchmen to the other holidays worlds, to capture their leaders (the Easter Bunny, Cupid, etc.) so that Oogie could rule ALL the holidays. The fate of not just Halloween, but all the holidays now lie in Jack s hands.
