10 More Horror Characters That Appeared Outside Their Own Movies
8. Jack Skellington - The Princess And The Frog
This one is a little tenuous.
Anyone who has seen Disney's 2009 film The Princess and the Frog will no doubt remember the nefarious Dr. Facilier, thanks in part to his excellent song, Friends on the Other Side.
Voiced by Keith David, himself no stranger to horrors, Facilier uses his voodoo magic to manipulate the events of the movie, intending to obtain a large fortune and rule New Orleans with an iron fist.
Naturally, this doesn't happen. It is a Disney movie after all.
When the mad doctor first summons his aforementioned ghoulish buddies, they manifest as shadows on the walls. If you look very closely, you'll be able to spot that one of the shadows has a very familiar outline.
The tall shadow with the round eyes in the far lefthand corner is none other than the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, Jack Skellington.
Maybe this is confirmation than Jack's reality exists outside of our own, with Facilier able to pull him across the void using his powers.
Or, considering Disney helped produce The Nightmare Before Christmas, maybe this was Tim Burton paying them back after a decade-and-a-half.
