This is a list of characters seen in The Nightmare Before Christmas franchise.

Jack Skellington

A dreaded nightmarish skeleton with the alias of "The Pumpkin King". He is very popular among the inhabitants of Halloween Town, due to his charming personality and aim to please. Despite a lack of inhibition, he means well. He is in charge of Halloween. Having never left it, he felt his inspiration for his own holiday waning. Christmas Town gave him new ideas and inspiration.

Sally

Jack Skellington's love-interest. She is a ragdoll originally patched together by Doctor Finkelstein. She is the only one to have doubts about Jack's Christmas plan, and is constantly imprisoned by her creator. Despite her makeshift appearance, Sally is a determined individual with a good feel for what's right.

Doctor Finklestein

A resident of Halloween Town, the wheelchair-bound mad scientist and creator of Sally. Overprotective of his creation, he forbids her from leaving the house, and forces her to serve as his housekeeper. Frustrated at Sally's frequent absconding, Finkelstein eventually gives in and creates a new woman to replace her.

Mayor

The Mayor appears to have two faces: a happy face on one side, and a white sad one on the other, switching between them depending on his mood. He is only an elected official and can't make decisions without Jack. He is portrayed as clumsy and highly anxious.

Oogie Boogie

Oogie Boogie appears to be a sack containing insects.

Lock, Shock & Barrel

Lock, Shock, & Barrel are a group of young trick-or-treaters. They wear masks, despite them being almost exactly the same as their real faces.

Zero

An intelligent ghost dog who floats about freely in space and follows Jack wherever he goes. His nose also doubles as a bright light.
