Was Jack Skellington a dude who died and his flesh rotted away, leaving only the bones? Or was he a baby skeleton born to a mother skeleton? Did she have a uterus or did Jack Skellington’s skeletal embryo slowly come into being hovering under her rib cage? Did she walk around ‘pregnant’ with a fetal skeleton on full view, just curled up in front of her pelvis? I need to know.
h… haunting…
According to the Epilogue on the Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack, Jack was born as a Skeleton. This is supported because in the epilogue Santa visits Jack and Sally who by that point are married and have “Seven or Eight children playing xylophone in their skeleton band.”
