THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993) - Screen-Matched Oogie Boogie SFX Dice & Snake - Oogie Boogie's screen-matched SFX dice and snake from Henry Selick's fantasy musical The Nightmare Before Christmas. After the "Kidnap the Sandy Claws" song, Oogie Boogie (Ken Page) rolled red dice in the menacing shadow of his face. This pair of dice screen-match to a close-up of a black-and-white snake slithering through the holes of one die.

The oversized SFX dice are made from red-painted MDF with an open side and black fabric taped to the interior to black out the dice's holes. Both display carved skull-like imagery, etched scratches, and black painted shading to give them texture and an aged appearance. One die includes the stop-motion puppet snake made of painted black-and-white foam formed around a metal armature for posing and feeding through the die's holes. One die exhibits a small area of MDF splintering and glue remnants on the interior from production use. The snake exhibits fragility, with minor cracks from the hardening of the foam due to age. This lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, which has been signed by Ken Page. Dimensions: (die with snake) 6.5" x 6.5" x 8" (16.5 cm x 16.5 cm x 20 cm)

Estimate: $20,000 - 40,000
