This Cache is part of Winterfun's Welcome to 2020! series.  This is our winter series put  out to help chase the winter blues away. You will need to write down the code inside in order to help you obtain the final coordinates for the Bonus cache. The series will run until approximately April 30th.

 

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a stop-motion animated musical film produced by Tim Burton. Technically the movie is considered to be a Halloween movie because of the release date and the looks of the sets/sound stages used but it does have a Christmas element to it.

Watching The Nightmare before Christmas is NOT required to answer the questions below. All of them can be found using Google. Your final coords will be as follows:

N42 50.ABC W86 02.XYZ

 

A= First digit of the number of heads used during filming for Jack Skellington

B= The name of Jack's ghost-dog. (Yes, its a number)

C= Last digit of the number of puppets used to represent every character

X= The number of approximate years it took to make The Nightmare Before Christmas

Y= Looking at the movie poster, how many pumpkins are visible on the hill on the bottom?

Z= Using the year production began, subtract together the only two numbers used that make up the year.

 

Check Sum = 29
