All the characters from the Tim burton classic, 'The Nightmare Before Christmas,' are represented, including a six-metre-tall Jack Skellington.
The City of Vaudreuil-Dorion’s latest outdoor themed display is turning heads and screams, “this is Halloween.”
Inspired by Tim Burton’s classic movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, the spooky exhibit showcases all the fan-favourite characters, including Zero the ghost dog, villain Oogie Boogie and a towering six-metre-tall Jack Skellington statue.
The walkthrough space on the corner of St-Charles Avenue and Paul-Gérin-Lajoie Road was all designed and crafted by city work crews.
Foreman Patrick Legault says the Nightmare Before Christmas theme was a project he and his team have been thinking of bringing to life for the past three years.
“We’ve been wanting to do this for some time and this year was the year,” Legault said.
From the plywood silhouette cutouts to Jack’s welded steel frame, all was built and designed by hand.
Legault says his talented team took three weeks to put the scene together.
“They were passionate and we’re lucky they are talented artists,” Legault said.
