In the stop-motion animated movie
ParaNorman, a misunderstood local boy who can talk to the dead must help save his town from zombies, ghosts and witches and remove a centuries old curse.
ParaNorman puppet and model exhibit at ArcLight Hollywood
These fantastic stop-motion puppets and models from the movie by the creators of Coraline, were photographed on display at ArcLight Hollywood cinema on August 11, 2012 to help promote the supernatural themed film.

On display was what looked like an homage to
Scooby-Doo's Mystery Machine, which I believe belongs to high school jock
'Mitch Downe' (the puppet driving the van), the big brother of
Norman's chubby friend
'Neil'.

On top of the van is one of the zombies terrorizing their
New England town of
Blithe Hollow.

Meanwhile, in the front seat are
Norman's older cheerleader sister
'Courtney Babcock' next to
Mitch, with
Norman behind her and
Neil beside him. Behind
Norman is also the school bully
'Alvin'.
Car and stop-motion puppets from ParaNorman
Here's another car complete with puppets, and if you can see the lights of both vehicles light up which is pretty cool.
If you're a fan of stop-motion animation, be sure to also check out these
original puppets from Coraline,
sets and characters from Fantastic Mr.Fox and
claymation characters from The Pirates Band of Misfits.
