Jack and Sally are "truly meant to be" ... or are they? Sally Skellington is the official, newly-minted Pumpkin Queen after a whirlwind courtship with her true love, Jack, who Sally adores with every inch of her fabric seams -- if only she could say the same for her new role as Queen of Halloween Town.
Jack Skellington's appearance in James and the Giant Peach as Captain Jack suggests that he was a pirate before he died, explaining his chaotic actions in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Later, as Jack did his experiments on Christmas, he was visited by Sally who had escaped once again from the doctor due to having enough her creator's overprotectiveness. Jack waved at Sally, entranced by her beauty, as she gave him a gift basket.

Oogie Boogie decides to hold her hostage until Jack comes to save her and the town from his terror, and after being rescued by Jack, Sally instantly falls in love with him.
He comes off more as an anti-hero, if anything.. Despite this, he's clearly a creature that lurks in the night. Jack Skellington is well intentioned as he wants to spread the joy of Christmas to Halloweentown. He is bored with the repetitive nature of Halloween and longs for something different.
What is Sally's backstory in Nightmare Before Christmas?
The character Sally was literally created in a lab by Dr. Finkelstein, a mad scientist and resident of Halloween Town. While the exact nature of their relationship is unclear, Dr. Finkelstein exhibits numerous types of abuse throughout the movie.
Her stuffing symbolizes her sense of not being what she should be. After her return home as queen of Halloween Town, Sally mixes cotton stuffing with her leaves, symbolizing her recognition of both parts of herself: her origin in Dream Town and her equally important experience growing up in Halloween Town.
On the album to the film, it is mentioned that years later, Sandy Claws returned to Halloween Town and saw Jack had four or five skeleton children. While not confirmed, it is assumed that given the ending to the film, Jack and Sally got married and started a family.
The secondary protagonist, Sally, is a rag doll constructed by Dr. Finkelstein. Her gift is that various limbs can detach from her body and quickly be sewn on, a power she uses to he advantage. Throughout The Nightmare Before Christmas, she can be seen performing ad hoc repairs on herself with a needle and thread.
She is a rag doll monster from Halloween Town, created by Dr. Finkelstein. An intelligent, yet inconspicuous woman, Sally yearns for independence, but is repeatedly restrained by her overprotective creator. She is also romantically infatuated with Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King.
Tim Burton, though tempted by the idea, refused to make a sequel to maintain the purity of the original film. While a true feature film sequel may be unlikely, The Nightmare Before Christmas continues to live on through video games and books.
We can tell he feels certain pain when he reacts negatively (and normally) when Sally accidentally pricks his thumb with a needle. Jack also is very flexible for being a skeleton and possesses incredible agility which makes it easy for him to climb ledges and walls.
Lock, Shock, and Barrel. Santa Claus (or Sandy Claws as Jack Skellington calls him) is one of the central characters of Tim Burton's 1993 stop-motion Disney film The Nightmare Before Christmas.
After hearing stories about the supposed "Pumpkin King" of Halloween Town, an envious Oogie Boogie became obsessed with outclassing Jack as the scariest ghoul there is. His manner of doing so developed into a coup to take over Halloween and rebranding it as "Crawloween"—a holiday dedicated to bugs.
Unfortunately, Oogie escaped, found Halloween Town and decided that it would be the new Bug Day. He and his army of insects invaded the town and nearly took it over. Jack found out and he defeated the bugs and Oogie. Oogie survived the battle, learned to fear the Pumpkin King, and was banished to his underground lair.
Envy, which is shown by how much he resents Jack for being the Pumpkin King, and in the video games The Pumpkin King and Oogie's Revenge, he tries to take over Jack's position due to this jealousy. Gluttony, Oogie loves cooking his victims into his special snake-and-spider stew.
Jack's relief was palpable as he held Sally close. He had saved her, and in doing so, he had saved Halloween Town from Oogie Boogie's wicked plot. The townsfolk, now fully aware of what had transpired, cheered for Jack. He was not just their Pumpkin King, he was their hero.
The 2022 Disney novel Long Live the Pumpkin Queen confirms that Sally and Jack were married and that Sally discovers her real ragdoll parents, concluding with the couple happily settled in Halloween Town.
