Jack Skellington Gets a More Film-Accurate Look for 2025 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
Disney Parks has unveiled a significant update to the appearance of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, who will greet guests during the 2025 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. The character will debut a new, more accurate head, moving away from the half-mask design that performers have utilized in previous years.

The reveal came via a post on the official Disney Parks Instagram account, showcasing a brief video of the updated Jack Skellington. This new iteration features a complete, fully formed head, more closely resembling his iconic look from “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” While the video offered a limited view of its articulation, it was evident that the mouth is capable of movement, allowing for smiles and open expressions.
In addition to Jack, it appears that Sally, his beloved companion, has also received a subtle refresh. The noticeable blue circles around her eyes and bright red lipstick from past appearances seem to have been replaced with a more understated look, featuring just stitches around her eyes and a darker lip color with black liner, aligning more closely with her Tim Burton film portrayal.
These updated character appearances were teased as part of the Monday morning announcements detailing the return of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party for 2025, which also included ticket information and confirmed entertainment offerings. While initially revealed for Walt Disney World, it is anticipated that this enhanced look for Jack and Sally will eventually extend to Disneyland Resort as well.
Historically, Jack Skellington’s in-park appearance utilized a half-mask that covered his eyes, nose, and the upper portion of his smile. This design featured an opening at the chin, allowing the performer to interact verbally with guests but resulted in a head shape that appeared more diamond-like than the rounded form seen in the movie. Sally’s previous look, while largely consistent with her film appearance, featured distinct blue circles around her eyes and brighter lipstick. The new changes aim for a greater degree of accuracy to the beloved animated film.
