Nightmare Before Christmas 1st Draft Studio Script

Updated October 15, 2026

Appears to be an authentic production issued copy rather than a retail reprint. Finding a fax number printed across the very top edge of the internal pages is a major clue that heavily points to this being an authentic production issued copy. Also the cover is bright dark blue and is in a fitted plastic bag. Excellent condition. If your pages show different timestamps, changing phone numbers, or progressing page counts (e.g., "08/05/91 14:32 FROM: SKILLINGTON PROD TO: TOUCHSTONE PAGE 02"), it confirms you have a piece of rolling 1991 production history. This means pages were being faxed over individually or in small batches as revisions were being actively made by the creative team back in 1991. Revised Valuation • Original 1991 Production-Used Fax Scripts: $250 to $600+. Because The Nightmare Before Christmas used an incredibly slow stop-motion animation process, the script and storyboards were constantly being updated and faxed back and forth between the animation studio in San Francisco (Skellington Productions) and Disney/Touchstone executives in Burbank. A compilation of these raw, rolling faxes bound together by a crew member is considered a highly desirable production artifact.
