That's our job... (see Corpse Mom)



Corpse Dad, Ned is a citizen of Halloween Town. He is a corpse and he is Corpse Mom's husband, and Corpse Kid's father.


Appearance[]

Ned is very skinny and has old grey skin and yellow eyes. He has a large, circle-shaped nose, and is semi-bald and black hair. He wears a buttoned sweater with necktie and baggy pants.

Personality[]

Despite his physical appearance, he is very friendly, especially with his young son.

Role in Movie[]

Appears as a background character along with his wife and son. Whilst stuffing the Giant snake, he accidentally gets swallowed by it before being coughed back up off-screen. He later appears among the saddened citizens when Jack is supposedly blown up by the military army as his wife sobs and tries to calm her down. He later reappears after taking a nap and seen in the crowd when Jack returns.

Trivia[]

  • His name was revealed to be Ned through the Trading Card Game.
  • He bears a striking resemblance to Cornelius Evazan from Star Wars.
  • In an extended cut of the scene where the giant snake begins to eat the Corpse Dad, he is almost completely swallowed whole, while fighting the snake and flailing the entire time. The animator who shot this scene extended it purely for fun, much to the amusement of the rest of the crew during dailies.
