Gamer Shows Off Nightmare Before Christmas-Themed PS5 Console and Controller

One creative gamer has captured the attention of people worldwide with a custom-designed PlayStation 5 console and controller inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas, a beloved cult classic. Tim Burton’s gloomy but heartwarming movie has touched the hearts of many gamers around the world, with some even deciding to pay tribute to the story of one of the most iconic skeletons in media, Jack Skellington, in various forms of fan art.

However, few people know that Tim Burton first came up with the idea for the movie while writing a poem back in 1982.

A Reddit user going by the name of NiteMare_420 decided to share their love for Burton’s musical fantasy film by sharing a picture of their Nightmare Before Christmas-themed PlayStation 5 console and controller.
