Gamer Recreated an Iconic Location from ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ in ‘No Man’s Sky’; Here’s Where to Find It!
Yes, what you see above is a shot from the video game No Man’s Sky, an almost pitch perfect recreation of the iconic poster art for The Nightmare Before Christmas that’s the handiwork of Reddit’s “ReefGuy007.” The image has been up-voted over 8 thousand times since being shared on the game’s subreddit channel one day ago, and it’s not hard to see why.
The gamer explains, “After I *accidentally* found the perfect Halloween planet, my buddy and I decided to attempt to recreate the Nightmare Before Christmas poster. How did we do?”
He continued, replying to a comment, “No mods. This is Vanilla NMS NEXT. Just found a planet that had pumpkin like plants. Then we sculpted the twirl with the terrain manipulator and got the angle just right using the games built in photo mode.”
If you’re interested in finding the planet for yourself, ReefGuy007 took a screenshot of the coordinates (below), and he named it “This is Halloween!” so it’s easier for others to find.
The exact coordinates for the custom TNBC location? GIYEA:0C42:0079:0D62:0046.

You and your companions are on the deck of your galleon. El Capitán has given you a contract to fulfill: gather as much wealth as possible, find a missing person, locate an ancient fort, and, if possible, return safe and sound from this perilous expedition. As soon as you set foot on the shore, at the edge of the jungle, a vague sense of dread takes hold. In this jungle, treasures and mysteries await you, but so do unspeakable entities ready to make you regret ever setting foot in their territory.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu will launch July 15 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.
