I think it's fun to do this sort of thing, but I don't really agree with it. I think for Oogie that idea is really great, especially for just the boogyman in general. Which is what I believe he is. I think the Halloween town is just a place for all ghouls and creepy spooky things from different time periods live. Oogie is the Boogie man, just a well known idea of something spooky that all kids are afraid of. The reason his skin is in a burlap sac is because you're never supposed to know what he actually looks like, and who doesn't get a little spooked at the idea of bugs for insides? Zero I think is a representation of rudolph, with the glowing red nose. Paired with Jack's obsession with christmas I feel that that's pretty appropriate that his best friend would be a play off of a common christmas figure. The children I think are just evil lil kids meant to be creepy, probably me and my friends in school (heh). The mayor I feel is just a representation of all elected officials, swinging from one side to another. The different faces mean the different opinions held in public office, he even says "I can't make decisions by myself" which I think may be a poke at politicians by the creators of the film. Finklestein and Sally I believe are an obvious play off of Frankenstein and his monster. He created her and she goes out to try and find a life for herself, although the village people don't hate her. Jack I think just represents the spirit of Halloween- he's the pumpkin king but he is in fact a skeleton, he's the face of the holiday itself, which is why he fails at being santa.
