To make Jack Skellington's face: Unwrap the brie cheese and place it on the board. Cut off about two-thirds of the bottom crust
To the top cheese circle, cut out the eyes with a mold or knife, draw a smile and scars with a food marker.
Return the crust to the cheese and fill the eye holes with jam to the top.
To make Sally's face: Use a second round of brie cheese and a food marker. Draw eyes, thin eyebrows, a nose and a smile with lips from half a raspberry.
Make the monster's eyes from mini mozzarella and bacon. Wrap it around mozzarella and add an olive pupil.
Cover the serving board with a themed mat. Lay out the characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Add thinly sliced salami to Sally's hair. Place black berries between the characters to add depth and dark simplicity.
Add mozzarella and bacon monster eyes in the bottom left corner, as if they were spying on everyone.
Raspberries will become blood, and nuts will add texture.
Serve with skewers or disposable forks.

Substitutions:

Instead of brie: use Camembert, Mexican queso fresco, or Mexican panela cheese rounds also work great if you can’t find brie.
Swap out beef jerky for pretzel sticks or cracker.
Use fruit roll ups instead of the prosciutto.
