Oct. 23 (UPI) -- A pumpkin farm in England celebrated the 30th anniversary of the animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas with a mosaic measuring 2,081 square feet.

Guinness World Records confirmed Sunnyfields Farm in Southampton earned the record for the largest cucurbita mosaic (image) when it arranged more than 10,000 pumpkins and squash into the shape of Jack Skellington singing "Jack's Lament" from the 1993 film.
