October 18, 2025 – March 1, 2026 – Beyond Halloween Land: Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: The doors of the Upcountry History Museum have now opened to the enchanting world of animation with Beyond Halloween Land: Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, an exhibition dedicated to the iconic 1993 stop-action film. Featuring a carefully curated collection of original artwork and maquettes crafted for Burton’s film, this exhibition invites visitors into the creative scope of animated movie production before the era of computer-generated imagery. On display are some conceptual drawings related to the labor-intensive stop animation process used to produce this extraordinary example of turning words into visuals.
As an added bonus, the Upcountry History Museum is showcasing its 1890s-era horse-drawn hearse from Oct. 28 through Nov. 9. Complementing this piece of Greater Greenville history will be some related mourning items from our Collection to help add to the “spirit” of the Halloween holiday.
