Tolland's Giant Santa Has Some Company This Holiday Season

TOLLAND, CT — Tolland's giant Santa now has a partner for the holidays.

It's Jack Skellington, of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" fame. He has taken up a position in a yard along the 600 block of Tolland Stage Road next to the blow-up Santa, who bears a resemblance to "Mr. C" in the movie "Polar Express."

Jack is a dapper suit-wearing extremely tall skeleton who may look like Manute Bol from a distance but whom we think never played basketball. He does, though serve as the main "Nightmare" protagonist.

The scene is located at 675 Tolland Stage Road, the local address for that stretch of Route 74. It's the home of Chris Farley, who says he just likes to host the display for area residents.

He also displays a giant pumpkin during the Halloween season.

Those who want to pose in front of it or just take a photo are welcome to use the cutout on his driveway rather than parking in the plaza across the street and risk crossing the busy part of Route 74.
