A Boise home in the North End has become a holiday destination, thanks to the creativity of Tyler Bush and Michael Mann. Each year, the couple transforms their front yard into a scene straight out of The Nightmare Before Christmas, blending Halloween and Christmas into a whimsical display.We do a Nightmare Before Christmas display at Christmastime because its one of my favorite movies, Bush said. Its actually a Christmas movie, and its a love story.The elaborate display features handcrafted props, a fully functioning countdown clock engineered by Mann, and iconic scenes from the beloved film.The tall Jack, when you buy itwe got them from Home Depot last yearbut it didnt come with the Santa outfit, so we actually got all the fabric and made the Santa outfit, Bush explained during a tour of the yard. And then we did the big snake. This is this years edition. Theres a scene in the movie where Jack is delivering presents, and then the snake comes out and eats one of the kids Christmas trees.For Bush and Mann, their annual display is about more than just creativityits about sharing their passion with the community.Now people in the neighborhoodwere known as the Nightmare Before Christmas house, Bush said. Weve talked to people when they pull up and stuff, and theyre like, Oh, we come by every year.From a man-eating wreath to Oogie Boogies lair, every piece in the display is carefully crafted.We get to do it together, which is fun, Mann added.The couple continually adds new elements each year.Were always adding to it, Mann said.As they look ahead to future additions, Bush and Mann hope their holiday creation brings joy to all who visit.We need a lot more happiness in the world right now, Bush said.
