Bonita DeCarlo was Head of 
the Fabrication Department on 
the animated classic "The Nightmare 
Before Christmas" directed by Henry 
Selick, produced by Tim Burton. Every 
puppet in the film had to pass through 
her hands before it reached the 
screen.  Her masterful grasp of the
task at hand won her the praise of 
her Producer, Kathleen Gavin, and 
secured her place on the next film.
