'''Halloween Town''' is a world from the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series, based on {{w|Tim Burton}}'s 1993 classic stop-motion Disney film, ''{{w|The Nightmare Before Christmas}}''. [[Jack Skellington]], as the Pumpkin King, is the leader of Halloween Town. The [[Keyhole]] in this world is hidden underneath Oogie Boogie's manor. | '''Halloween Town''' is a world from the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series, based on {{w|Tim Burton}}'s 1993 classic stop-motion Disney film, ''{{w|The Nightmare Before Christmas}}''.

According to the BradyGame's ''Kingdom Hearts II'' official strategy guide, Halloween Town was added again simply because of the overwhelming fanbase.{{fact}} | |||

{{nihongo|'''{{a|Guillotine Square}}'''|ギロチン広場|Girochin Hiroba}} (localized as '''{{a|Halloween Town Square}}''' in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'') is named after the deadly guillotine in the middle of the area. There is also a fountain full of green water and various ledges to climb on. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the area takes on a slightly different appearance: the fountain now squirts water that deals damage, the guillotine can come down to damage characters if they pass beneath it, one of the gates (with presents behind it) deals damage if Sora and company come near it, and nearby grates spew poisonous gas. In both games, the Square links directly to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Research Lab}}'''|研究所|Kenkyūjo|lit. "Laboratory"}}, also known as {{nihongo|'''{{a|Dr. Finkelstein's Lab}}'''|フィンケルスタイン研究所|Finkerusutain Kenkyūjo|lit. "Finkelstein Laboratory"}} in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', it also links to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Guillotine Gate}}'''|ギロチン広場:入口|Girochin Hiroba: Iriguchi|lit. "Guillotine Square: Entrance"}} (called '''{{a|Halloween Town Entrance}}''' in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''), which serves as the entrance to Halloween Town. | |||

Near the square is | Near the square is a {{nihongo|'''{{a|Graveyard}}'''|棺のある墓地|Hitsugi no Arubochi|lit. "Cemetery of Coffins"}} that serves as a connection to other places in both games. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the gravestones can be knocked over for [[Drive Orb]]s and damage. In both games, the Graveyard leads to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Moonlight Hill}}'''|月の見える丘|Tsuki no Mieru Oka|lit. "Hill with a View of the Moon"}} (called {{nihongo|'''{{a|Curly Hill}}'''|スパイラルヒル|Supairaru Hiru|lit. "Spiral Hill"}} in ''Kingdom Hearts II''); with a sundae swirl hill that can uncurl in ''Kingdom Hearts'' to take the party to the next area. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the left fork in the Graveyard takes the party to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Hinterlands}}'''|ヒンターランド|Hintārando}}, a quiet wood leading to a group of trees carved with various symbols of other holidays. They lead to towns of various holidays - Christmas, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, and Valentine's Day. | ||
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', traveling over Moonlight Hill takes the party to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Bridge}}'''|吊り橋|Tsuribashi|lit. "Suspension Bridge"}} leading to [[Oogie's Manor]] and the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Evil Playroom}}'''|小鬼たちの部屋|Saki-tachi no Heya}} which serves as the hideout of Lock, Shock, and Barrel, as well as Oogie Boogie's own {{nihongo|'''{{a|Torture Chamber}}'''|ブギーの拷問室|Bugī no Gōmon-shitsu|lit.

During his first mission to Halloween Town (Mission 42, Day 149), Roxas encounters Jack Skellington, who ponders how to make Halloween scarier and more shocking than ever before. Roxas leaves him to think, and continues on his mission to collect hearts. On Roxas's next few missions to Halloween Town, he finds there are fewer and fewer Heartless, making heart collecting more difficult. Roxas uses [[Zero]], who is able to locate hidden Heartless, to help him finish his mission. After a few more visits to Halloween Town, Roxas grows annoyed of Lock, Shock, and Barrel, who had been playing tricks on him, and attempts to stop them. The trio attack Roxas, who defeats them, and they promise not to play tricks on him anymore. | During his first mission to Halloween Town (Mission 42, Day 149), Roxas encounters Jack Skellington, who ponders how to make Halloween scarier and more shocking than ever before.

Barrel almost divulges information on what they've been doing, but Lock quiets him and the trio escape. Disregarding their promise, the three play the same trick on Roxas immediately on his next arrival. After completing his mission, Roxas tries to leave, but is attacked by a [[Tentaclaw]]. He defeats it and RTC's. The Organization reports that the Heartless population in Halloween Town is unusually low, so Roxas is sent to investigate. When he arrives at Guillotine Plaza, a Creepworm appears, fleeing from something. Another Tentaclaw sprouts from the ground and swallows the Creepworm. Roxas searches for the source outside of town and sees Lock, Shock, and Barrel escaping over the wall to Boogie's home. He defeats the Tentaclaws at Curly Hill, before taking on the source of the cannibalistic appendages, the [[Leechgrave]], at Manor Ruins. However, Jack, watching from outside the zone of battle, likes the idea of a Halloween with "a black cloak and black tentacles," and creates a scarecrow in Roxas's image. | Barrel almost divulges information on what they've been doing, but Lock quiets him and the trio escape.
