This iconic Halloween movie is a part of many people’s spooky-season traditions, so having it play at local theaters is certainly what many are participating in. It is the movie’s 30th anniversary, for coming out in 1983, it still has an impressive amount of people anticipating its arrival to theaters.
To celebrate the movie’s big milestone, Disney is organizing the screening dates of one of their favorite holidays across Canada and the United States starting October 20th. Along with the movie playing in theaters, Disney is also releasing an array of new merchandise to get everyone in the spirit for not just the anniversary, but also the Halloween season. Some of this merchandise includes 30th-anniversary edition collectibles, a new clothing line and a limited-edition Starbucks tumbler. “Fans can also purchase the movie, newly remastered on 4K UHD for the first time, or tune into Freeform’s 31 Nights of Halloween throughout October. ABC will air The Nightmare Before Christmas on October 22nd at 8 p.m. ET, followed by airings on the Disney Channel on October 28th and December 11th.” These showings, as said by Comicbook, are very much looked forward to by a lot of people.
