Nightmare Before Christmas? No, it stemmed from Tim Burton’s mind… I just don’t think that movie characters really fit in, whether or not they are Disney. Doing a Disney incarnation -of- a storybook character, sure. But something that was purely made to be a movie and has no real connection to classic stories? Ehhh. Frankenstein, Dracula, Ichabod Crane, Jekyll and Hyde… Those are the characters we need to see in Gothic Horror world.
Remember that Frankenstein doesn’t have “magic” in his world. So a walking-talking skeleton or rag-doll would just be weird. The horrors of his world are malformed humans, diseased minds, uncontrolled transformations.
