Their relationship is rather tense, as Finkelstein insists on keeping her imprisoned under the pretext of protecting her from the outside world and not wanting her to discover her original parents who reside in Dream Town in another realm. However, Sally is restless and curious, and despite his attempts to keep her imprisoned, she often manages to escape by sedating him with deadly nightshade. </p><p>It is this restlessness and a desire for something better in her life that draws her to Jack Skellington. In the beginning of the film, she idolizes and admires him like many residents of Halloween Town. However, she discovers they are connected by the desire for something more in their lives, and her feelings for him intensify.

As seen on the Special Edition DVD, another idea for Oogie's identity was for him to be Dr. Finkelstein in disguise to take revenge on Jack and Sally, but Tim Burton scrapped the idea and it was not pursued past storyboards. </p><p>Despite the fact that Oogie is mostly separated from the inhabitants of Halloween Town, it appears they allow him to take part in their celebration, as his shadow appears on the moon in the opening song "<a href="/wiki/This_Is_Halloween" title="This Is Halloween">This Is Halloween</a>". He lives in an underground lair full of torture devices, each of which features a casino-like appearance, which along with his use of dice suggest an addiction to gambling. During "Oogie Boogie's Song", his lair is lit with black lights, which he glows bright green under. After the lights dim, the bright color is sapped from his lair, transforming its appearance into that of a dank, cellar-like dungeon. Above his lair is the clubhouse of Lock, Shock, and Barrel, who feed him bugs through a metal chute. It is initially believed that Oogie cannot be killed or die, but it is later revealed he can if his brain, the lead bug, is destroyed. In the film, Lock, Shock and Barrel kidnap <a href="#Santa_Claus">Santa Claus</a> and send him down to Oogie Boogie's lair, where Sally attempts to rescue him after learning of his fate, but is captured. Oogie then tortures and tries to kill Sally and Santa Claus, but is foiled by Jack, who pulls a thread loose from him, ripping off the sack covering him and causing most of his bugs to fall into the lava. The lead bug is then squashed by Santa, and the rest of the bugs scurry off. </p><p>In <i>The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King</i>, his origins and the birth of his rivalry with Jack were revealed. It reveals that he once had his own holiday called Bug Day, which was forgotten by the people of the real world. Oogie escaped, found Halloween Town, and decided that it would be the new Bug Day. He and his army of insects invaded the town and nearly took it over, but Jack was able to stop them and Oogie. Oogie survived and was imprisoned within his underground lair, and Jack warns that if he ever left his lair, it would be "game over!" for him. Oogie complied, but secretly vowed revenge. </p><p>In the 2004 video game <i>The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge</i>, Oogie is resurrected by his henchmen Lock, Shock, and Barrel, who sew him back together. He quickly deceives the residents of Halloween Town and tricks the townspeople into making traps for Jack, stating that Jack would not return if they do not make an even scarier Halloween for next year. He then attempts to become the Seven Holidays King by kidnapping the leaders of the holidays and tries to murder Santa Claus again. His plans are foiled by Jack, but he puts up a fight in the Holiday Trash Hill by turning into a gigantic junk-filled version of himself named "Mega-Oogie."

For unknown reasons, he uses a motorized wheelchair. </p><p>Doctor Finkelstein lives in a large observatory with his stolen living rag doll Sally and his hunchbacked assistant Igor. <a href="/wiki/James_Whale" title="James Whale">James Whale</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Frankenstein_(1931_film)" title="Frankenstein (1931 film)"><i>Frankenstein</i></a> is quoted in his line "I made you with my own hands" which he says to Sally to prevent her from remembering her past life. Unlike <a href="/wiki/Victor_Frankenstein" title="Victor Frankenstein">Dr. Frankenstein</a>, Finkelstein takes full responsibility over Sally and acts as an over-protective father by keeping her imprisoned under the pretext of sheltering her from the world's hidden dangers and not wanting her to discover her original birthplace and family. Although he is strict towards Sally, he is also shown to be kind and helpful towards Jack, as he allows him to borrow some of his equipment to conduct experiments with Christmas objects. He also helps Jack in his plan to take over Christmas by bringing skeletal <a href="/wiki/Reindeer" title="Reindeer">reindeer</a> to life to pull Jack's <a href="/wiki/Sleigh" class="mw-redirect" title="Sleigh">sleigh</a>. At the end of the film, Finkelstein, deciding that Sally might be ready to take on the world's dangers after all, lets her go free and creates a wife for himself using a portion of his own brain. </p><p>Dr. Finkelstein is featured in <i>The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge</i>. When Jack is still tired of doing the same thing at Halloween, Dr. Finkelstein helps him by giving him the Soul Robber, a weapon that allows Jack to change its shape. Jack also tells Dr. Finkelstein to watch over the town while he is away. After Oogie Boogie's revival, he falls under his control by switching his brain to a different one and creates monsters that obey Oogie Boogie. When Jack confronts Dr. Finkelstein and learns his brain has been switched, he starts a plan to get rid of it by using the "sleeping soup" Sally gave him, and is able to put his original brain back in place and free him from Oogie's control. In the game spin-offs, Finkelstein's name is pronounced "steen" instead of "stein". Additionally, his wife creation "Jewel" is not present, and Sally appears to still be living with him even though he let her free at the end of the film. Sally even says "He insists on keeping me locked up" while next to the Hanging Tree in the Graveyard. </p><p>Finkelstein also appears in <i><a href="/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts" title="Kingdom Hearts">Kingdom Hearts</a></i> and other games in the series. When the Heartless appear in Halloween Town, Jack thinks of adding them to the Halloween celebrations and asks Dr. Finkelstein for advice. After realizing the Heartless need a heart, the two find the ingredients for one: pulse, emotion, terror, fear, hope and despair. Their initial experiment fails, and Dr. Finkelstein sends Jack off with <a href="/wiki/Characters_of_Kingdom_Hearts#Sora" title="Characters of Kingdom Hearts">Sora</a> and the group to retrieve two more ingredients, memory and surprise and complete the heart. However, the heart is stolen by Oogie Boogie. In <i><a href="/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts:_Chain_of_Memories" title="Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories">Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories</a></i>, created from Sora's memories, Dr. Finkelstein creates a potion that allows people to see their true memory.

Lock wears a red <a href="/wiki/Devil" title="Devil">devil</a> costume but has a real devil's tail, and also has sharp and pointy teeth. As well, his face is narrow and angular, and he has red and brown hair formed into two horns. He likes to think highly of himself and gets upset when others insult him or take the lead. However, he goes along with others' ideas if he fails to come up with anything himself.</li> <li><b>Shock</b> is the only female of the three and is the oldest and most cunning and intelligent of them, which, despite her often being tired of them, helps to settle arguments. She wears a purple <a href="/wiki/Witchcraft" title="Witchcraft">witch</a> costume with an elongated hat and sometimes carries a broomstick, and has pale-green skin, a long pointed nose, and violet-blue wiry hair. She tends to be rather impatient and dislikes unplanned steps, such as where exactly to take Santa Claws.

He mostly resembles a small human boy, but has white skin, sunken eyes, coiffed green hair, and deformed feet. Additionally, he has a perpetual grin except when he is angry or scared.

It ultimately swallows all three of them before attacking <a href="/wiki/Sora_(Kingdom_Hearts)" title="Sora (Kingdom Hearts)">Sora</a> and party with its full repertoire. After its defeat, the trio run off saying it was 'fun' and unintentionally reveal Oogie's return. In the second visit, the three are accused of stealing presents after they enter Santa's workshop and are caught looking through gifts. Sora and the party have to fight them by knocking them unconscious and putting them in boxes. After the battle, the three claim they did not steal the presents, as they regard Christmas toys to be boring, and reveal they were looking for parts for Doctor Finkelstein's Experiment, forcing Sora to let them free. They also cause mischief as obstacles in the "Making Presents" mini game, before and after the fight with the Experiment.
