Fort Washington Library: Friday Matinee “Nightmare before Christmas”

Join us at the Fort Washington Library in our community room as we screen films that may make you laugh, cry, or just recall am memory from back in the day.

Join us as we screen Tim Burton’s “Nightmare before Christmas”        1 hr and 16min.

The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown’s beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the “real world.” When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life — he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry.
