Hall-O-Screen Party: The Nightmare Before Christmas

Now this is Halloween! On October 31st, The REACH will transform into Halloween Town with a free screening of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas on the REACH Video Wall. With a gorgeous score by Danny Elfman featuring tons of catchy tunes like “This is Halloween” and “What’s This?,” this stop-motion animated musical is the perfect movie for a night of frights and fun. Before the film, starting at 6 p.m., join Becky Ferrell of Dance Metro DC for a dance class where you’ll learn the moves to ghoulish tunes such as “Thriller,” “Monster Mash,” The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s “The Time Warp” dance, plus a DJ sets the scene with a haunted playlist. Don’t forget to grab a snack—there will be food and drinks for sale. No tickets required!
