The Skeletal Reindeer were created by Dr. Finkelstein for Jack's Santa sleigh. They were shown being brought to life through the use of electricity volts, similar to how Frankenstein's Monster was brought to life.
The Nightmare Before Christmas[]
Three skeletal reindeer acted as the reindeer that pulled Jack's sleigh when he made his journey around the world to deliver gifts for Christmas in place of Santa Claus. They were destroyed when the military shot down Jack's sleigh with their artillery. In the Extended Edition, the reindeer became restored and are fighting Oogie's Army.

Oogie's Revenge[]
In The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge, Sally arrives in Christmas Town with the Skeletal Reindeer and coffin sleigh completely rebuilt. They arrive after Jack saves Santa Claus from Oogie. Santa and Jack use the sleigh and reindeer to chase after Oogie, as Oogie had hijacked Santa's original sleigh. As Jack and Oogie have their final showdown, Santa makes do with Jack's sleigh and reindeer to be able to deliver Christmas presents.
Kingdom Hearts II[]
The Skeleton Reindeer make an appearance in the video game "Kingdom Hearts II". They are seen when Jack lands his sleigh back on the launch ramp to greet Sora, Donald Duck, and Goofy, welcoming them back to Halloween Town and wishing them both a Merry Christmas and a Happy Halloween. As Jack mentions how he is heading to Christmas Town to see Santa, Sora, Donald, and Goofy look around at the Halloween-themed Christmas decorations, before looking at the Skeleton Reindeer, who look at them and let out a creepy squawk, unnerving Donald and Goofy, but leaving Sora excited to meet Santa.
