Full body of The Stairs Man
"I am the one hiding under your stairs, fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair"
This creature is a character from The Nightmare Before Christmas. He is a citizen of Halloween Town. Unlike The One Hiding Under Your Bed, The Stairs Monster makes more than one appearance in the movie. He has banded kraits as his fingers, four on each hand, and a spider on his head. He has a small forked tongue and the area around his mouth is colored pink. Unlike most Halloween Town characters, he has no feet. Instead, his body slims down on a board with wheels attached.
Film Role
The creature first appears in the song, This is Halloween. The creature was later seen in the scene where the citizens are in the town meeting. The creaure starts to whistle at Jack when the crowd is cheering. The creature later reappears in the Making Christmas scene, where he stocks up presents. Then, the creature was with the crowd sad after Jack was shot down. After that, the creature takes a nap when Jack battles Oogie Boogie and later wakes up after Jack comes back.
