Sally and Shock, they are the only female named characters in the movie. They never talk to each other.

There is also Mrs. Claus but she doesn't speak to any female characters.

There are more female characters, such as the 3 witches, who talk amongst themselves.

I don't think it affects the test in anyway but given its stop motion clay figures set in Halloweenland I noticed there's tons of characters no gender or at least no obvious gender. Not sure how the Bechdel Test accounts for such things.

Soup disagreed with the rating and said:
This is a very weird test because YEAH NO DUH SALLY DOESNT TALK TO THE DERANGED 7 YEAR OLD! And even though they are both divas and girlbosses who are respected and loved by all this movie is non feminist uh huh, sure. Also the witches named helgamine and Zeldaborne talk amongst themselves.
