A Corpse Dad stop-motion armature from Henry Selick's stop-motion fantasy musical The Nightmare Before Christmas. Corpse Dad, along with his similarly macabre wife and son, were amongst the eerie ensemble that were residents of Halloween Town.

The full-body metal armature features either hinges or ball-and-socket joints at all major points of movement (including the shoulders, elbows, knees, hips) and includes the original foam latex character hands. The armature is in good overall condition with some wear from age, including stiffening of the joints, small bits of foam latex remnants throughout, and deterioration to the fragile foam latex hands.

Dimensions: 12" x 6" x 2 1/2" (30.5 cm x 15.5 cm x 6.5 cm)

Estimate: $2,000 - 3,000
