Taking place shortly after The Battle for Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington is now the newly-named Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, and his first Halloween is fast approaching. Intent on proving himself as deserving of this title, Jack plans a huge celebration full of flashy ideas and fun for all—and insists on doing all the work himself! As his to-do list piles up, Jack starts to fear that he can’t deliver on all the frightful promises of Halloween, and so he turns to the one person he knows can help: Oogie Boogie. Thinking this might be a chance to rekindle their friendship after their battle for the Pumpkin King title, Jack enlists Oogie Boogie to assist in Halloween preparations… not realizing that the embittered Oogie Boogie actually has schemes of his own.
