Overview[]

He is a skeleton dressed in a black pin-striped suit and a bow tie that strongly resembles a black bat. At the beginning of the film, Jack makes his grand entrance by emerging out of a fire-breathing dragon-themed fountain. His last name is based on the word "skeleton". He has a pet ghost dog named Zero, who has a small glowing nose similar to Rudolph. He is adored by Sally, a rag doll created by Dr. Finklestein.

Notes[]

  • He might have been the total opposite of The Grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge, since both despise Christmas.
