The Mayor

"Jack HELP! I am only an elected official, I can't handle this by myself!!"

—The Mayor

The Mayor is the two-faced "leader" of Halloween Town. He has two faces which show his emotions. They switch often between sad and happy. Although he is the mayor, he says he cannot do anything without Jack Skellington's help. The Mayor's exact words are that he is only an "elected official". The Mayor made his first appearance in The Nightmare Before Christmas.

In the Movie

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".
