The Nightmare Before Christmas

Dec. 7 Free activity with Super Awesome Artland! after the screening

Bored with the same old scare-and-scream routine, Pumpkin King Jack Skellington 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.

* December 8 will be a Sensory Friendly Screening, which caters to the needs of individuals who may find traditional moviegoing overwhelming.

Following the December 7 screening, Super Awesome Artland! will be upstairs for making super cool and cute Jack Skellington ornaments to hang on your tree, your wall, your locker, or any place you want to celebrate. This is FREE for ticketholders.
