What it's about
About this film
Tired of scaring humans every October 31 with the same old bag of tricks, Jack Skellington, the spindly king of Halloween Town, kidnaps Santa Claus and plans to deliver shrunken heads and other ghoulish gifts to children on Christmas morning. But as Christmas approaches, Jack's rag-doll girlfriend, Sally, tries to foil his misguided plans.

A Returning Animated Classic for Halloween Season
This returning animated classic follows Jack Skellington, the king of Halloween Town, as he discovers Christmas and sets out to make it his own. Short at a little over an hour and rated PG, it is a playful, slightly spooky treat that suits families with children who enjoy a gentle fright. Plan ahead, as only a single screening is on the calendar this week.
