Our expert's notes

A Halloween Town zombie saxophone player stop-motion puppet from Henry Selick’s stop-motion musical The Nightmare Before Christmas. The Halloween Town band played music throughout the film, and were friends of Jack Skellington. The saxophone player is known for saying “Nice work, bone-daddy” after Jack Skellington completed his performance on Halloween.

The puppet is made of foam over a wire animation armature, and includes dried moss threaded through the scalp to resemble hair. The puppet features an elongated chin with a large wart, a bell-shaped torso and long slender arms and legs. It is cast with an integral black-striped burgundy suit with a white button-up shirt and white shoes.

The puppet stands on a simple wooden base and features wires protruding from the heels of its feet, which anchor it to holes in the base. Showing wear to the foam which has hardened and cracked due to age, the saxophone player is missing fingers on its left hand. Although fragile, the puppet remains in fine condition. Dimensions (puppet): 9 cm x 10 cm x 26.5 cm (3 ½” x 4” x 10 ½”); (on base): 24 cm x 24 cm x 28 cm (9 ½” x 9 ½” x 11”)
