The question then becomes, what could inspire the creation of such a dark and psychopathic villain? According to the writer, who spoke to Vulture, he conjured the story and character up from a story he read of a family whose son was having terrible night terrors.

The kid chose to stay awake for many days, terrified that he would be caught by something in his nightmares. Eventually, he slept, only to be met with a nightmare again. However, this time, after hearing the child scream out in his sleep, the parents found him dead in his bed.

To dive deeper into another villain who is slightly less horrifying yet still intriguing, read these quotes from Oogie Boogie, the monster of "A Nightmare Before Christmas."
