    Description

    This is a complete set of 8 vintage original 11x14 in. lobby cards from the classic animated musical fantasy
    THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
    , released in 1993 by Touchstone Pictures and directed by Henry Selick. Based upon a story and characters by director
    Tim Burton
    ,
    Jack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, discovers Christmas Town, but his attempts to bring Christmas to his home causes confusion.
    This complete set of 8 lobby cards depicts the film's major characters and features great scenes from this classic film.
    The printing quality is the best that we have seen on a set of lobby cards for a contemporary film,as the image area itself has a high-gloss finish applied to it which makes the colors pop and adds a sense of depth that must be seen in person to be fully appreciated
    . Printed in the United States but issued for distribution in other countries, all 8 cards are in near-mint unused condition. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws.
    Please Note: While the format of lobby cards was discontinued for use in American theaters in the early 1980's, they continued to be printed in the U.S. for display in theaters in other countries.
    Tim Burton said that the original poem was inspired after seeing Halloween merchandise display in a store being taken down and replaced by a Christmas display. The juxtaposition of ghouls and goblins with Santa and his reindeer sparked his imagination. It took a group of around 100 people three years to complete this movie. For one second of film, up to 12 stop-motion moves had to be made. It is stated in "The Making of..." book that the most difficult shot to film in the entire movie is the shot in which Jack is reaching for the doorknob to Christmasland. Viewers can see the perfect surround reflection of the forest around Jack in the background. Danny Elfman found writing Nightmare's 10 songs as "one of the easiest jobs I've ever had. I had a lot in common with Jack Skellington."
