Kingdom
Hearts
The videogame
Kingdom Hearts features a level based on Halloweentown and its inhabitants,
familiar from the movie Nightmare Before Christmas. Below is a description
of the game written by our forum member pumpkinqueen15.
Kingdom Hearts is the story of a 14 year old boy, named Sora. He
lives a peaceful life on the Destiney Islands with his two best
friends, Riku and Kairi.
An evil darkness and creatures called the Heartless come one night
and destroy Sora's Island, they also take his friends! It is up
to Sora now to save the day.
Equipped with a Keyblade and two new friends, Donald Duck and Goofy,
they travel to unfamiliar worlds to find their lost friends and
destroy the Heartless. But these worlds may not be that unfamiliar
to you.
One world the threesome visit, is none
other than Halloween Town, from Tim Burtons
"Nightmare Before Christmas"!
Before entering Halloween Town, Donald
inquires that this place seems a little
eerie, and that they'll need macabre costumes
to fit in. So dressed as town citizens,
they go in the Halloween world. Soon they
meet with the town Mayor, who introduces
them to Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin
King.
Jack is curious about the Heartless and wants to make them part
of his annual Halloween Festival. He and Dr. Frankelstein have been
concocting a bizarre experiment to control the Heartless by actually
giving them an artificial heart. Jack then asks Sora if he would
help him find an ingridient for the experiment. After finding it,
they discover that Lock, Shock, and Barrel have stolen the Heartless'
heart. Giving it to their master, Oogie Boogie, who beleives he
can control the Heartless now. Sora and Jack know that Oogie must
be stopped and bolt to his manor.

At the manor,
they talk to those mischievous trick-or-treaters to get some clues
to where Oogie is. Once you locate him, you'll have to find a way
to avoid a lot of damage inflicted by Oogies giant roulette machine!
This battle is very tricky.
When you've defeated this trouble maker
and left the manor, you suddenly realize
it has been posessed by darkness and starts
coming after you! This can also get a
little tricky after awhile.
Halloween is Saved! Jack realizes his
errors of trying to tame the Heartless
(they're not so easily controlled) and
postpones the festivities until the damage's
done by Oogie are repaired.
Your adventure in Halloween Town may be over, but during the remainder
of the game you can vist Jack and walk around anytime you want,
in the place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams.
