- Kidnap the Sandy Claws
- Making Christmas
- Oogie Boogie’s Song
As we can make out from the title of the songs, they talk about important developments of the movie as they make us aware of the state of mind of the characters of the movie. Through the song “This is Halloween”, we for the first time get to know of the town, its strange residents and their features. “ Jack’s Lament” as the title suggests captures for us the frustration of the Pumpkin king owing to the monotony of the celebration in his town. The lyrics of the song “ Kidnap the Sandy Claws” is quite funny as we find Lock, Shock and Barrel planning and deciding amongst them how to execute the task. The Oogie Boogie’s Song describes the excitement and happiness of the residents of Halloween on receiving Santa Claus.
