The Nightmare Before Christmas, and costumes are highly encouraged!
First released in 1993, this stop-motion masterpiece by Tim Burton and director Henry Selick completely changed animation history with its beautifully twisted visuals and Danny Elfman's iconic, catchy soundtrack. The story follows Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, who grows bored of scaring people and accidentally discovers Christmas Town. Fascinated by the bright holiday, he decides to take it over by kidnapping Santa Claus and delivering his own spooky, macabre gifts to the real world. His well-intentioned takeover quickly turns into a disaster, forcing Jack to rescue Santa from the villainous Oogie Boogie, fix his mistakes, and rediscover his true passion for Halloween.
Now, it is your turn to bring this beloved cult classic to life! Whether you want to read for your favorite character or just belt out "This Is Halloween" and "What's This?" at the top of your lungs, this immersive sing-along is the perfect way to celebrate the spooky season.
