In films like “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “James and the Giant Peach” and “Coraline,” the dark, handmade curiosities of Selick have tended to leave a mark.
“That’s what I hope for all my films,” says Selick, 69, smiling. “To shake up those kids but not mess them up for good.”
Jordan Peele, today!
