Oogie Boogie is the main antagonist in the 1993 stop-motion Disney film, “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” He’s a bug-filled burlap sack with a penchant for gambling, living on the outskirts of Halloween Town in a casino-like lair underneath the treehouse of his henchmen, Lock, Shock, and Barrel. Voiced by Ken Page, Oogie Boogie is a legendary boogeyman, as suggested by the “Boogie” in his name. He’s a wicked and voraciously power-hungry creature, resembling a large burlap sack shaped like a starfish, filled with thousands of bugs (along with 2 spiders and a snake). His life revolves around gambling, and he loves to gamble with others’ lives. Oogie Boogie’s character was loosely inspired by Cab Calloway’s 1932 appearance in a Betty Boop cartoon, and Danny Elfman referenced the same cartoon in the film’s soundtrack. In his song, “The Oogie Boogie Song,” Oogie Boogie tells Santa Claus, “You better pay attention now because I’m the Boogeyman.”
