Halloween Town

SALLY'S POTIONS

There is a new place here in Halloween Town, something we've never seen before! What's this?

Why, it's Sally's Potions, the latest greasy spoon diner run by Halloween's favorite rag doll. The restaurant structure, like Sally herself, is a patchwork of various materials sewn together - leather and burlap and Christmas wrapping - combined into a large bulbous facade like an over-sized jack-o-lantern face. The interior too is like the inside of some gigantic pumpkin, however with surfaces of soil and stone instead of slimy pumpkin goo. Tables are set up around a central column, while handmade lanterns resembling gigantic pumpkin seeds dangle from the ceilings. A faint fog wafts. The scent of spiced pumpkin permeates the air.

Just as Jack discovered the concept of Christmas, Sally has secretly explored the world of Thanksgiving Town. Her restaurant serves Thanksgiving Dinner every day, of course given that special Halloween Town twist so that every familiar dish appears in a twisted, delightfully spooky way. Mashed potatoes are formed (using molds) to resemble happy skulls. Pumpkin pie is topped with ghost-faced whipped cream. Cranberry sauce is applied like oozing blood. The decor follows suit, from the jack-o-lantern cornucopias to the centerpiece turkey which has been reduced to a mere animatronic skeleton.

The beverage menu reflects Sally's potion talents. Drinks bear names which are familiar from The Nightmare Before Christmas, names like "Deadly Night Shade" and "Worm's Wort" and "Frog's Breath."

OOGIE BOOGIE CABARET

Well, well, well, what have we here?

A creepy cabaret of frights hosted by that boogieing boogeyman Oogie Boogie! Come enjoy dinner and a show while surrounded by jazz-singing skeletons, enchanted slot machines, and more. This is a meal you can bet on!

Oogie Boogie Cabaret is located beyond Halloween Town's city center, out in the barren wastes of Graveyard Hill, in the same grey, haunted region as his henchmen's Treehouse. The Cabaret is a newly-made creation, seemingly formed from twisting roots growing up out of the ground. Oogie has modified these roots extensively, dressing them up as a casino, adorning them with spirals of blinking neon lights, building a great big Oogie Boogie face near the entrance, even topping the gnarl of hedges with a bellowing smokestack reminiscent of a riverboat casino.

Oogie Boogie Cabaret is an immersive, highly-themed eating & drinking establishment on par with Disney favorites such as Trader Sam's Tiki Bar, but with a more twisted, er, twist. Imagine a world where the walls are coated in singing skulls, like some sort of musical ossuary. Where details and decor cover every square inch of the mausoleum interior, coating the space with original Nightmare Before Christmas models, repurposed "Haunted Mansion Holiday" props, and items inspired by Rolly Crump's Museum of the Bizarre.

Food and drinks follow the theme. There is Oogie Boogie's signature Snake and Spider Stew, there are appetizers like potstickers which pretend to be bugs straight out of Oogie's potato sack, and there are spooky glowing beverages (with or without alcohol) like those featured at Sally's Potions.
