THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS Is Heading Back to Theaters This Month for the Film's 30th Anniversary
The Nightmare Before Christmas is heading back to theatres this month in celebration of the film’s 30th anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been 30 years, especially since I remember so fondly going to the 14th anniversary yearly screening at the El Capitan theatre in Hollywood. That was the day I found out I was pregnant with my first baby! This movie is so beloved, and it’s still captivating audiences, because the fans who first loved it are now showing it to our own kids.
On October 20th, director Henry Selick's stop-motion animated classic will be re-released into theaters across the United States and Canada, 30 years after it originally opened in October 1993. Disney also announced Monday that the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California, will show The Nightmare Before Christmas in 4D — a 3D presentation with in-theater effects — and host anniversary screenings featuring specialty concessions, souvenirs, and more.
To commemorate the re-release, Disney commissioned new artwork inspired by the film, created by Shepard Fairey's Studio Number On.
Check it out below, and let us know if you’ll be headed to the movies to check out a screening!
