This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1993 for the release of The Nightmare Before Christmas, produced and conceived by Tim Burton, directed by Henry Selick, and distributed in Japan by Buena Vista International.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a stop-motion animated dark fantasy musical that has become one of the most beloved cult films of the 1990s. The story follows Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, who discovers Christmas Town and attempts to bring the holiday spirit to his world—with unsettling and chaotic results. The film features music and lyrics by Danny Elfman, who also provided Jack’s singing voice, and has earned enduring acclaim for its artistry, originality, and gothic charm.

The poster design is among the most iconic of the era: Jack and Sally stand hand in hand on the curling hill of Halloween Town’s cemetery, silhouetted against a giant yellow moon. The stylized multicolored English title, combined with bold Japanese typography 「ナイトメアー・ビフォア・クリスマス」, emphasizes the film’s whimsical yet eerie aesthetic. This Japanese first release poster has become highly sought after among collectors due to the film’s global cult following.
