LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jack Skellington is a fictional character and the protagonist of the 1993 animated film 'The Nightmare Before Christmas.'
While Jack Skellington's precise height remains a mystery, he is believed to stand 6 to 11 feet (183 to 335 centimeters) according to the factsite.com
The film 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' was produced by Tim Burton and directed by Henry Selick.
Jack Skellington is the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, a world inhabited by various spooky and supernatural creatures.
Jack becomes bored with the same Halloween routine every year and discovers the existence of Christmas Town, a world filled with joy and cheer.
Intrigued by the idea of Christmas, Jack decides to take over Christmas and, in the process, experiences a series of misadventures and misunderstandings as he tries to understand the true spirit of the holiday.
Jack Skellington is known for his tall, skeletal appearance, sharp features, and distinctive black suit with a bat-shaped bowtie.
He's an iconic character in popular culture and has become closely associated with both Halloween and Christmas, thanks to the enduring popularity of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas.'

Meanwhile, Sally's animatronics enable her eyes to blink and her arm to move as she sings her song from the film.
How tall is Oogie Boogie?
According to wikipedia.com Oogie Boogie was absent from Tim Burton's initial poem, but Burton subsequently created a sketch of what seemed to be a creature resembling a sack filled with dreadful elements.

Home Depot launches 13-foot Jack Skellington
Home Depot introduced a 13-foot-tall Jack Skellington earlier this year, surpassing its famous 12-foot skeleton from previous Halloweens.
This oversized animatronic Jack Skellington, inspired by Disney's 'The Nightmare Before Christmas,' is priced at $399, which is $100 more than the 12-foot version.
What sets this giant Jack Skellington apart is its animation. It features moving mouth and jaw mechanisms that synchronize with his performance of three segments from the character's theme song, 'Jack's Lament.'
Additionally, his head is detachable, offering the option of displaying him with either an angry or happy expression, making it versatile for both Halloween and holiday decorating.
Home Depot collaborated with Disney to create this large skeleton figure in celebration of the classic animation's 30th anniversary according to cnet.com.
Considering the popularity of the 12-foot skeleton in previous years, Home Depot is also offering an LED lighting kit to give the skeleton's ribcage an eerie and atmospheric illumination.
