THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993) w/ stop-motion Christmas pre-show @ 5:30 pm

“A delightfully ghoulish holiday musical” – Los Angeles Times

Creepy, gorgeous, and absolutely moving, THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is a true masterpiece of twisted seasonal brilliance. Produced by Tim Burton and directed by the brilliant animator Henry Selick, NIGHTMARE is the story of the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington, who’s bored with the same old scare-and-scream routine. Instead, he longs to spread the joy of Christmas. But his merry mission puts Santa in jeopardy and creates a nightmare for good little boys and girls everywhere! Swoon to the genius of Danny Elfman’s sensational music and delight in the eerie and extraordinary visuals conjured by Tim Burton and Henry Selick as we present one of the greatest Christmas movies ever made.

Plus, come out early for more painstakingly animated yuletide goodness with our stop-motion Christmas pre-show starting at 5:30 pm!

This film is screening as part of our December series, IT’S KIND OF A CHRISTMAS MOVIE, showcasing some off-beat Yuletide(ish) tales to warm your soul this winter.
