It's very interesting to see up close how this and other props are constructed. The scarecrow appears to be made out of real (but painted) branches (at least for all the visible structure), that craft raffia for the straw, and some sort of black woven plastic fabric for the clothes. The fabric seems to have been spray painted several different shades of greens and browns.<br /><br />I also really enjoyed seeing the Headless Horseman cape, Nightmare Before Christmas puppets, and the scores of original drawings dating back to Burton's childhood.<br /><br />If you get a chance to go to the MoMA, definitely do it. It's well worth it!Mr. Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17788609552270797748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-92096635341706915782009-12-09T22:06:19.558-05:002009-12-09T22:06:19.558-05:00I am SOOOOOO sad it's all the way out in New Y...I am SOOOOOO sad it's all the way out in New York. Think they'd move something like this out to LA after its run? <br /><br />Also, years back I was at Universal Studios Hollywood - I saw this in a room full of props, on stage where this performer/host guy put on a show. I'm glad it's on proper display now.SaraHaasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16044289428744112412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-47032177842703787692009-12-08T00:14:20.863-05:002009-12-08T00:14:20.863-05:00As a Burton fan, I was already excited to see this...As a Burton fan, I was already excited to see this exhibit at the MOMA, but now I'm completely psyched!! I didn't know there would be an actual prop from Sleepy Hollow there!!!! I love that movie and watch it every October.

Many rooms and corridors packed with truckloads of his drawings, writings and studio props. We went the day after Thankgiving which was probably the worst day to go. It was so crowded.<br /><br />Its definitely a show that should not be missed!!NoahFentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16857583831392830732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-63586890518445469942009-12-06T16:54:03.195-05:002009-12-06T16:54:03.195-05:00I had wondered if that still existed, or if they j...I had wondered if that still existed, or if they just scrapped it after the movie. It's nice to know it's still around and there's a chance I might be able to see it sometime.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05369930481493283849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-60387675959054435652009-12-06T11:25:49.525-05:002009-12-06T11:25:49.525-05:00I'm going to be up in NYC for a few days over ...I'm going to be up in NYC for a few days over Christmas.
