The Mayor

The Mayor of Halloween Town is one of the main protagonists in Disney's 1993 stop-motion hit The Nightmare Before Christmas.

PersonalityEdit
The Mayor of Halloween Town is an obese character. He has 2 faces (the smiley one and the twisted one), tall top hat, and coat. His face changes depending on what mood he is in.

DesignsEdit
The Mayor is rather short, especially when compared to Jack. His head is cone-shaped and displays the two faces he is most notable for. One face (as well as his hands) is peach-colored, with rosy cheeks and a face set in a permanent smile. The other face is bone-white, has a mouth set in a permanent frown (the teeth of which are pointed) with green lips and yellow eyes. There is an seam of some sort around the mouths of both faces because in the claymation for the movie, the mouths were replaceable to make the mayor talk. His top hat is gigantic, being the same height as the Mayor himself, but very thin. The Mayor's body is also cone-shaped, with his body ballooning outward before ending on short, stubby legs with very tiny feet. He dresses in a black suit with a white undershirt and black-and-white pinstriped pants. He wears a pendant or bow-tie shaped like a black widow spider, though it only has six legs and the notorious red hourglass marking is on the spider's back and is much more detailed than in real life. There is a red ribbon with the word "MAYOR" printed on a white center pinned to the left breast of his blazer. He is never seen without his short, metal megaphone that he uses to issue orders, announcements, and, more often, call for help from Jack.

The Nightmare Before ChristmasEdit
In the movie, he gets the people of Halloween Town and himself ready for Halloween by asking Jack Skellington for help. He has two faces. One of his faces is happy while the other may be either sad or angry. His split personality type situation was possibly inspired by The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and he is a literal description of the phrase "two-faced politicians".

Role in the series
The Mayor reprises his role from the movie, and will also appear in Spirited Away as he tagged alongside Jack Skellington and the rest of the citizens of Halloween Town to take a vacation in the Bathhouse of the Spirit World.
