On October 28, 2018, Morris County Sheriff James M. Gannon said:
“In light of the recent mail bombing attempts, and following the horrific acts of murder and terrorism in Pittsburgh, I have asked that we redouble our efforts at the Morris County Sheriff’s Office in support of the strong efforts of our local police chiefs who are doing the same.”
“We have been continually patrolling houses of worship and points of our critical infrastructure since the time I entered office, last week, and again yesterday, I bolstered those efforts to reassure our neighbors in the Jewish Community. We have added visits by Sheriff’s Officers to our normal patrols of these locations. An attack on any one religion, culture or race, is an attack on us all.”
Tim Burton’s animated The Nightmare Before Christmas debuts in U.S. theaters.
A stop-motion animated musical dark fantasy film, it is directed by Henry Selick, and produced and conceived by Tim Burton. Released by Touchstone Pictures, the film features the voices of Danny Elfman (who also scored the music),
Chris Sarandon, Catherine O’Hara, William Hickey, and Paul Reubens. The story of Jack Skellington, a being from “Halloween Town” who opens a portal to “Christmas Town,” the idea for the film started as a poem Burton wrote while working as an animator at Disney in the early 1980s. Disney has decided to release the film under their Touchstone Pictures banner because they believe the film might be “too dark and scary for kids.”
The Nightmare Before Christmas will inspire video game spin-offs, including Oogie’s Revenge, MediEvil, and The Pumpkin King.

In this video, shared by Walt Disney Imagineering, we hear how many of these tombstones pay tribute to famous Disney Legends and Imagineers who helped create the attraction to life years ago. For example, one headstone’s reference to “Master Gracey” refers to Imagineer Yale Gracey, a special effects extraordinaire who brought the spirits of the Haunted Mansion to life, as well as “Grandpa Marc,” aka Marc Davis, who was the artist behind the stretching portraits. Other references include “Haunting Harriet” Harriet Burns, WED Enterprises’ first female employee who created models for the attraction, “Brother Claude” or Claude Coats, who developed the mansion’s interior and more.
Watch as Imagineers Daniel Joseph and Stacy Shoff offer up the details in the video above.
