Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) and Final Destination (2000)

In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a huge animated challenge, and a film that started off planned as an X-Files episode

The Nightmare Before Christmas required a new facility, and a director too when Tim Burton's commitment to Batman Returns got in the way. 

As for Final Destination? The hit franchise-starter's journey began with a teenager's idea for an Elm Street sequel.

Stories of both are discussed in this episode.
