 ==Origin==
-In the movie, ''The Nightmare Before Christmas'', 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".
+The Mayor originates from Tim Burton's 1993 stop-motion Disney film, ''The Nightmare Before Christmas''. In the film, he and the citizens are preparing Halloween Town for Halloween. As per the Mayor's request, Jack also assists in the preparations. When Jack goes missing over night during his journey into Christmas Town, the Mayor panics, as he fears Halloween would be ruined without Jack's input. Jack returns and asks the Mayor to hold a meeting at town hall, to which the Mayor happily agrees to do. After Jack announced he wishes to celebrate Christmas, the Mayor supports Jack and helps him in his quest to bring his own version of Christmas to the world, despite his secret misgivings about it. When Jack is apparently killed by the U.S army while delivering presents in place of Santa Claus, the Mayor openly admits his misgivings about Jack's idea and sorrowfully goes off inform Halloween Town about Jack's "death". Later, he is told by Lock, Shock, and Barrel that Jack is still alive, and comes to retrieve him and Sally after Oogie Boogie has been defeated. At the end of the film, the Mayor of Halloween Town is seen among the surprised citizens when it begins snowing in Halloween Town.
