Vincent - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
An early version of Jack Skellington from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" makes a cameo.
A small, skeletal figure with a round head, closely resembling Jack Skellington, appears as a detail on a toy/machine in Vincent's room. This cameo occurred years before "The Nightmare Before Christmas" was made, showing that Burton had been developing the character for a long time.
The film contains visual references to Vincent Price's movies.
Vincent's fantasy of dipping his aunt in wax is a direct nod to Vincent Price's iconic role in the 1953 horror film "House of Wax." This serves as a deeper homage to the actor whose persona the entire film is built around.
The character design of Vincent resembles Tim Burton.
Vincent Malloy's physical appearance, with his pale face and wild, dark hair, is a deliberate caricature of a young Tim Burton, reinforcing the autobiographical nature of the film.
