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".

Appearance

The Mayor is rather short, espesially 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 permenant smile. The other face is bone-white, has a mouth set in a permenant 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 for an unknown reason. 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 the he uses to issue orders, announcements, and, more often, call for help from Jack.
