On-screen, Jack Skellington leaps with joy, singing with wonder at his discovery of Christmas Town. He seems so real, so alive, that we believe both he and his fantastical worl must somehow exist. But in reality it is not Jack who is the star of the show; it is the over 140 artists and technicians who spent more than two years bringing Jack and all his cohorts to life on the sceen. Every gesture Jack makes was created by a human hand, by an animator who moved the puppet in tiny increments from fram to frame. Every character, every set, every prop - even the candy dances - had to be designed and then actually fabricated by someone. This book tells the true story of the film, highlighting the art and the vision that make the movie so memorable.

Après quelques jours passés sur une île étrange, il s'isole du reste du groupe de rescapés et reprend la sculpture mais son style a changé. Des cauchemars terrifiants troublent ses nuits et ses œuvres à tel point qu'il croit entendre des voix ou revoir des images de son passé. Serait-ce l'île qui réclamerait réparation pour ses erreurs ou sa conscience qui lui jouerait des tours ?
