Jack and Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween Costumes Inspired by Tim Burton
~Jesse Draper Photography Copyright 2008

This is the most time I've ever spent making a Halloween costume ever.
After all these years, I still love to watch the Nightmare Before Christmas.
Haven't seen it in 3D yet. Maybe next Halloween.
Taken with a timer and softbox.
Feel free to post this picture on other sites, provided you provide a link back here

Happy Halloween!

    I went to a thrift store and bought a conductors jacket, which I then painted those white stripes on with gesso. It took a lot longer to paint those stripes than I thought. I think it took something like 8 hours. The rest is just a skull cap and makeup. In this version the skull is photoshopped. If you go to the next picture you can see how it really looked.

    Great costumes, I used to make my own too, but somehow I gave up on it. Seeing yours makes me think about starting again. I’m a huge fan of Nightmare Before Christmas, so this year I went for a Jack Skellington pumpkin.

    LOVE these costumes, best Jack & Sally I have seen yet. Can I ask how the Sally costume was made. My 3 year old niece has this obsession with Sally and I wanted to be her for Halloween, probably a little late in the game :-/
