Nightmare Before Christmas (The)

An original prop used in the production of The Nightmare Before Christmas, the 1993 stop motion animation favourite directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton.

This gravestone was used on the Halloween Town graveyard set which features prominently at the beginning of the movie. The miniature is constructed from hand cut wood and has been meticulously hand painted to a textured and weathered finish, it retains the remains of plasticine and dried glue to the base where it was attached to the miniature set during filming. An identical gravestone with an exacting shape can clearly be seen on screen in the famous shot.

The miniature stands approximately 11" high and remains in very good production used condition with some paint loss to the edges, otherwise fine.

An highly displayable miniature artefact from this Academy Award nominated stop motion animation classic.
