Wondering if anyone has it. Both me and the DH collect all things NBX and I remember seeing copies of it at ebay at one time, reading that it was passed out at a convention.
But I can not seem to find the deck now that I am looking for it (ain't that the way it always goes.) But I am also wondering it it is worth the trouble. (Drawings? Card Stock?)
Anyone have any opinions on this?
Violet: I loved the movie! Was & still am interested in this deck; also checked on it when it was listed at eBay, but the price was too steep for me. I am sure it has value as a collector's piece simply because of its novelty & its limited availability. I think it would be an intriguing deck to read with, like the Halloween Tarot deck--a sort of light-hearted dark deck--if there is such a thing.
I have one.
PM questions please.
I loved this movie! I loved the style and 'Tim Burton' look of it :D I didn't know a deck excisted!!!
*Kayne runs off to go Goooogling...*
Umbrae: Can you tell me how the deck is structured? It does not seem like a proper deck, rather a series of numbered cards...
Isnt it majors only? Also Id be curious to know who they assing to each card hehe
:THP
I loved that movie. Have it in Laser Vision (erk). I did not know there was a deck and if anyone finds a supply, I would like to be one of the ones notified!!!

Folks, it is a Disney deck (Haunted Mansion). So let’s deflate a tad. Not quite a Tim Burton deck.
Each deck has 2 sets of 13 cards that do not correspond in any way to Tarot. There are two sets of cards. One set is backed in a Red maze shaped pattern with Madame Loeta in the middle. The second set is backed with green skulls and the haunted mansion in a circle in the center. They are smaller versions of the Tarot Cards that were featured floating in the séance room inside the Disneyland Haunted Mansion during the holiday 2001 makeover
Each card is made of very thick cardboard. Size of Tarot Cards measure around 7 inches by 4 and 1/4 inch. You cannot shuffle this deck.
This is a collector’s deck only.
The “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, is a set of Disneyland’s Tarot Cards Here from the " DISNEYLAND’S NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS HAUNTED EVENING EVENT" These were given to the guest after the evening was over Wednesday October 03 2001. This event at Disneyland was based on Tim Burton’s cult classic Film The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993).
These Tarot cards were only available on October 03 2001 at Disneyland.
They were swag (carny term for give-away items). 8)

There are a ton of Disney memorabelia collectors out there which is why the high price, the decks were an extremely limited edition given out at the preview showing of the movie, nowhere else. It's not so much that it's a rare tarot as an extremely rare Disney collectible.
I keep it next to my POMO :laugh: They seem comfy together!
