 A Holiday Nightmare, inspired by the poem The Nightmare Before Christmas by

Tim Burton, tells the story of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloweenland.

After years of the same spooky routine, Jack has grown bored of "the scaring, the terror,

the fright...tired of being something that goes bump in the night". But when Jack

accidentally discovers Christmas Town, he devises a plan to kidnap “Sandy Claws” and

take over a new holiday! Only after his plans for a “Scary Christmas” go wrong does

Jack learn the true meaning of the holiday season.

Enrollment is limited and is on a first-come, first-served basis.
