THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993)
1h 16m | PG | Animation, Family, Fantasy

Friends of the Orpheum Theatre and Downtown Phoenix Inc. invite you to celebrate the Halloween season with Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas at the historic Orpheum Theatre!

Follow Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, as he discovers Christmas Town and becomes determined to bring the holiday home—with delightfully disastrous results.

Featuring unforgettable stop-motion animation, a wonderfully strange cast of characters, and music by Danny Elfman, this beloved classic is the perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit.

Experience this delightfully dark favorite in the grandeur of Phoenix’s historic Orpheum Theatre, where Halloween Town comes to life on the big screen and every screening becomes an event.

Presented by Friends of the Orpheum Theatre and Downtown Phoenix, Inc. All proceeds benefit the historic Orpheum Theatre.
