Photostylist Debbie Koos knows what she likes, which is anything and everything Tim Burton. Film director Burton has earned a reputation of creating exquisitely beautiful films with dark imagery and splash of quirkiness, and that's what makes Debbie a huge fan.

Her home is filled with Tim Burton movie memorabilia, a collection that numbers more than 100 pieces--from trading cards to snow globes to figurines. Debbie's fascination began in 1993 when she saw The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Here are some quick tips on how to start your own collection:


  • Snow globes from The Nightmare Before Christmas are rare because so many have been broken over the years! Expect a snow globe in good condition to be about $250.

  • The original clay figures used in the The Nightmare Before Christmas movie are rare and valuable. Depending on the character, they can fetch anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 each.
