Description
When the clock strikes the hour in the world of The Nightmare Before Christmas it’s not a little bird that pops out to tweet Cuckoo! but a little Zero ghost-dog that pops out to the tune of “This Is Halloween.” Like the Return of the Jedi Wall Clock, this whimsical, hand-painted Nightmare Before Christmas Cuckoo Clock is a fantastical and fantastic piece of functional art that adult Tim Burton fans and Halloween fanatics shouldn’t feel a bit bad about coveting. The clock’s seller, The Bradford Exchange, even points out that “This fine home decor is not intended for children.”
Joining Zero in the Nightmare Before Christmas timepiece are Jack Skellington and Sally standing front and center before the Town Hall and Jack’s Tower. Below them Lock dangles behind a drapery, maniacally exhilarated by the sight of Shock and Barrel hanging from the clock’s pinecone weights. Also joining the temporal fun are ghosts an pumpkins, which illuminate and glow along with the Tower and Hall windows when the hour hits, or when you flip a switch.
The Nightmare Before Christmas Cuckoo Clock measures 21″ from pinecone to skeletal cranium flourish.
