Hook used to hold Santa in Oogie Boogie’s lair from The Nightmare Before Christmas. (Buena Vista, 1993) This is a production used, life-size hook used to hold Santa up in Oogie Boogie’s lair. This enormous hook appears in the insert shot when Sally’s detached hands untie Santa’s bindings in an effort to escape. It is constructed of metal and rope, rests on a custom-made base and measures an impressive 47 in. tall.
