Answer: Except they're a reanimated corpse and a skeleton. They are either already dead (or undead), or, given how things seem to work, the normal natural laws don't apply to Halloweentown.

But how did Santa survive the Iron Maiden? Especially with how big he is, he certainly would have been killed.
