There’s just something extra & magical whenever Disney gets their mitts on a model, idea or production (I sound like one of their travel agents) – anyhoo, their ability to construct and market said projects is quite simply the stuff of legend, and when you throw director Tim Burton’s wide-swept creative brainpan into the mix…let’s just say that whatever churns out will more than likely be something that’s etched in stone for generations.
The year was 1993, the film/musical being THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, and what more can I really say about this presentation other than it has its legions of fans that absolutely adore everything about the movie, and it’s become a yearly staple in many aficionado’s viewing lists around the haunt season. Even 30 years later the horrific love story between Jack Skellington & Sally has managed to hold up stronger than most Hollywood marriages (OUCH), so why not celebrate this iconic tale?
Published by Epic Ink DISNEY TIM BURTON’S THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS: BEYOND HALLOWEEN TOWN is a 168 page coffee-table book that is absolutely packed to the gills with pictures, behind-the-scenes notes and interviews galore with the names that brought this classic to life…or is it death? Maybe brought it back to life from the dead? Ahhh, who knows – but trust me when I tell you that this book is the ultimate companion piece to the film, and it’s pretty damned beautiful displayed out on your favorite bench, stand, console, bureau or morgue slab – wherever you get your reading done!
