Halloween Town
Halloween Town is an eternally dark village featured in Kingdom Hearts and returns in Kingdom Hearts II. It is based on Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, a stop motion animated film released by Touchstone Pictures. The residents of Halloween Town are obsessed with their eponymous holiday and each year, they seek to outdo the last year's celebration. Though it has a mayor, the de facto leader of Halloween Town is the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington. Using Donald's magic, Sora, Donald and Goofy disguise themselves as spooky characters to blend in with the Halloween Town folk.
Halloween Town's nexus is Guillotine Square, which has entrances to Dr. Finklestein's lab, Jack Skellington's house and the Graveyard. The Graveyard has been overrun by Halloween-themed Heartless and leads to Moonlight Hill. A secret switch in Moonlight Hill allows access to Oogie Boogie's Manor. The back of the Graveyard also houses a forest called the Hinterlands. Here, several trees with strange symbols lead to other holiday-themed towns. The most prominent is Christmas Town, where Santa Claus lives and has his workshop.
In the Final Mix version of Kingdom Hearts II, Sora's Halloween outfit is replaced by a Christmas outfit. It is a mixture of both Christmas and Halloween themes. Sora wears a black Santa suit with red ribbons wrapped around his legs, while still sporting his dark Halloween makeup. Donald and Goofy also receive new Christmas outfits with Donald having the appearance of a snowman, whilst Goofy has the appearance of a reindeer.
