You may be surprised to know that in 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' it is never made explicit what Jack Skellington's past is. He's known as the 'Pumpkin King', implying he's always been a supernormal entity of Halloween Town. The filmmaker entrusts audiences to fill in those missing spots and as such, puts a playful and fiendishly obscure spin on his tale.

In The Nightmare Before Christmas, Jack Skellington's backstory before his "death" is not explicitly detailed. However, it is implied that he was a human who lived in the real world before becoming the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town.

His skeletal form and role as a Halloween icon suggest he may have been someone with a deep connection to the macabre, possibly a performer or artist who embraced the spooky and eerie, leading to his transformation into the beloved character we know.

Jack Skellington, the skeletal protagonist of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas', comes to us with no explained past. The film begins with him as the celebrated 'Pumpkin King' of Halloween Town, with no life before this suggested.

Some argue that since Jack Skellington from 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' is the 'Pumpkin King', he may be as old as Halloween itself, referring to Celtic Samhain festivals dating back over 2,000 years. But character specifics, including age, are not directly addressed in Tim Burton's film.

No, Victor and Jack Skellington are different characters from two distinctive universes. Victor is from 'Corpse Bride', a stop-motion movie directed by Tim Burton, about a young man who accidentally marries a deceased bride. On the flip side, Jack Skellington is the protagonist of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas', another Tim Burton movie, where Jack is the "Pumpkin King" of Halloween Town who stumbles upon Christmas Town and tries to bring Christmas to his town.

'Tied' is a perfect match for 'died'. It carries a sense of being bound or connected. There's 'side' too, often used in stories or poems to describe a direction or a perspective. It's neat how words flow together like this.

In the classic novel 'The Outsiders' by S. E. Hinton, three main characters meet a tragic end. They are: Johnny, Dally, and Bob. Johnny Cade dies at 16, but not before he has already made a name for himself as one of the most tragic figures in Hinton 's story. With severe burns and a back broken in three places, Johnny's death is one of the most piercing images in S. E. Hinton 's novel. These wounds are inflicted when he and his pal Ponyboy Curtis dash into a burning church in order to save some trapped children. Although they come through with the kids alive, Johnny is hurt too badly and eventually dies in hospital as a direct result of that injury. His death is particularly significant from the viewpoint of the story because he's an outstanding example of all that we mean by good character. Even at his young age he was always there to help out whichever way he could for other people. Dally Winston, another greaser, is so distraught by Johnny's death that he breaks down. He robs a grocery store and deliberately starts a confrontation with the cops, fully aware that it will end in his own death. Brandishing an empty gun frantically at the police, he is shot dead. His death is a tragic moment in the book, representing as it does the frustration and despair felt by some young people in their existence. Bob Sheldon, a Soc (short for "Socials," the rich kids in the story), is Johnny's killer. Unlike Johnny or Dally, Bob is presented as nothing but an insufferably violent bully who constantly picks on the Greasers. One night Bob and a bunch of Socs pick on Ponyboy and Johnny in a park. During the brawl, Bob drowns Ponyboy in a fountain. To save his buddy Johnny stabs Bob, whom he kills. Bob's death is a turning point in the story, marking an intensification of the enmity between the Greasers and the Socs.

Ever watched 'When They Cry'? Rika is kind of like a star of the show. Spoiler alert though, Rika dies when she's just 10 years old. She got caught up in some horrific stuff in Hinamizawa - a fictitious rural village. The story gets pretty twisted, so buckle up if you decide to watch it! You can find this anime on platforms like Crunchyroll and Funimation.
