* TheInfested: It's unclear if Oogie Boogie is a sentient burlap sack filled with bugs, or [[TheWormThatWalks if Oogie is the bugs themselves and the sack is just something they use to appear relatively humanoid.]]

Throw all that in with a boogeyman fashioned from a burlap sack filled with insects, musical numbers so catchy they're scary, spooks a-plenty for the young ones, and some very striking visuals and directing, and you get one of the most celebrated and beloved holiday classics of all time.

* MerryInMinorKey: This movie is an odd case. Most of the numbers sung by the citizens of Halloween are bouncy, orchestral tunes in minor keys. The monsters sing these songs in a very sinister-sounding way, yet [[DarkIsNotEvil they don't really have evil intentions, and genuinely believe they're doing good]]. The songs may sound scary to the ''viewer'', but to the characters, this is just ordinary happy music. Examples include:
** "This is Halloween," in which the citizens of Halloween Town introduce themselves and their town, and explain that they love to scare people, but mean no real harm.
** "Making Christmas," which is set to the melody of DeathlyDiesIrae, in which the citizens make creepy, twisted toys (that they think kids will actually like) for their own version of Christmas.
** Subverted with "Finale." As Jack returns to the town, having saved Santa Claus and Sally from Oogie Boogie, the song starts with the citizens reprising the tune of "This is Halloween," but it soon switches to a major key version.

* AnAesop: Several:
** The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
** "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence".
** "Look before you leap" strained through a mesh made of "make sure you know what you're doing".
** "Jack's Lament" has a coat of "[[CelebrityIsOverrated fame is overrated]]" painted over it.
** BeYourself.
** A change of scenery is a terrific cure for burnout.
** Being leader in one area doesn't mean you can take over anything that catches your eye.
** A {{deconstruction}} of the classic Disney Aesop "You can be whatever you dream to be".
** Just because you gave life to someone, it doesn't mean that person is your property. Everybody has the right of having a life of their own and prusue their own interests.
** Your best friend is the one who'll tell you the truth about yourself.
** Trying to copy another person's talents instead of focusing your own results in your work becomes a shoddy, offensive copy reviled by everyone. In a similar vein, if you are going to celebrate a cultural holiday then make sure you actually do extensive research on the ancestral history or cultural meaning behind the celebration, or interview people who have direct personal knowledge of that culture. Rather than just do it because it's aesthetically pleasing.
** Some of Jack's lines near the end of "Poor Jack" have the Aesop "Even if you try something new and it doesn't work out, you can still learn something worthwhile from it."
** It's never too late to fix your mistakes. It's okay to be sad that you messed up, as long as you pick yourself up eventually and go do what's right.
