1993 | DCP | US | D: Henry Selick
 
Jack Skellington (voiced by Chris Sarandon and Danny Elfman), Halloweentown's beloved pumpkin king, has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the ‘real world’.

When Jack accidentally stumbles on the bright colours and warm spirits of Christmastown, he is inspired to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus (Edward Ivory) and taking over.

Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas astonished audiences upon its release in 1993 and has grown in cult status ever since. Come celebrate Christmas in July with this delightfully macabre holiday film and sing along to your favourite songs.

We encourage you to dress as your favourite character and our café and bar The Curators will have mulled wine available to keep you warm!

‘Visually a macabre knockout, this 75-minute fantasy boasts some of the wittiest, most vigorous stop-motion animation effects in the history of the process’ – The Seattle Times

‘Films don’t get more imaginative or original than this. The Nightmare Before Christmas is not just a good movie, it’s everything we go to the movies for in the first place’ – Queerty
