The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge is a video game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox platforms. It takes place a year after the events of the 1993 Tim Burton The Nightmare Before Christmas film.

In the game, Oogie Boogie is resurrected by Lock, Shock, and Barrel. Unaware of this, Jack Skellington as usual goes and looks for new Halloween frights. He goes and talks to Professor Finklestien and receives the "Soul Robber", a green weapon that allows Jack to change shape. He can transform into Santa Jack and the Pumpkin King. After he leaves, Lock, Shock, and Barrel bring Oogie back to life. He seizes control of Halloween Town, and is going to capture the other Holiday World leaders. After taking over their Holidays, he is going to become the Seven Holidays King. Jack returns to find everyone deceived by the newly resurrected Oogie. Now, armed with his Soul Robber and costumes, he must rescue the denizens of Halloween Town from enslavement, find and free the Holiday leaders, and ultimately rid everyone of Oogie Boogie once and for all.
