Oogie's Lair



Oogie's Lair, also known as Oogie Boogie's Lair, is a creepy underground cave full of torture devices with a casino-like appearance located beneath the Treehouse and it is the namesake "humble" abode of the nasty bogeyman, Oogie Boogie. It where as he delightfully gambles on human (and in some possible cases, inhuman) lives with his dice. The lighting is done in the style of a cheap fun house, as seen during Oogie's song.

At their Treehouse home, the mischievous trio of friends, Lock, Shock and Barrel who send food (such as the insect caught during their "Kidnap the Sandy Claws" song and sometimes even victims for Oogie Boogie down a chute.

A few torture devices shown in the movie include: a roulette wheel; gun-toting robots; playing-card soldiers and a gruesome variety of other demonic contraptions.

It is where Oogie meets his demise after his final battle with his archenemy Jack Skellington who angrily pulled the string off the Boogie Man's burlap sack-like body for the shameful capture and mistreatment of his friends while rescuing both Sally and Santa Claus. After Santa Claus left to save Christmas in time, the Mayor of Halloween Town with the help of Lock, Shock and Barrel, found both Jack and Sally in Oogie's now empty Lair and they throw a pilot ladder at them as they came to their rescue.

Trivia

 * In the climax scenes, as Jack marches in front of the gun-drawn cowboy slot machines, just before Oogie yells "Fire!" you can see the symbols they slot wheels have aligned to, and they're all Jack's head.
