Benny is a minor character in the Halloweentown series (except for Halloweentown High). He is a skeleton taxi driver who has a habit to make jokes. In Return to Halloweentown, it was revealed that his full name is Benjamin C. Deadman. He took a liking to being called Benny after Marnie called him it when she traveled back in time to the founding of Halloweentown. According to Marnie, Benny has a rather poor sense of humor; his jokes are usual skeleton-related, but no one actually finds them funny, though they laugh to be kind.
