If you haven’t seen The Nightmare Before Christmas at any stage in the last fourteen years, then it’s definitely worth a look. The story might be slight, the music a bit too operatic, but it’s the design of the world that is utterly fantastic.
Halloween Town is all dark grey wrought iron and cobblestones, with bright flashes of orange flames or fluorescent green slime. The fiendish characters range from the stick-like Jack Skellington to mud monsters and werewolves. Every frame includes some brilliant creation from the devilish minds of Tim Burton and Henry Selick. And it’s the small touches that make the impact – heroine Sally stitching her skin together like a rag doll or a group of vampires snoozing under some umbrellas.
