Fans of Disney’s Halloween-themed classics are in for a treat this October, as two beloved films, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus, are making their return to the big screen. Whether you’re revisiting these movies for nostalgia or discovering them for the first time, this re-release is sure to evoke all the festive excitement of the season.
The Nightmare Before Christmas Returns October 11
The iconic 1993 film, The Nightmare Before Christmas, will hit theaters again starting October 11. This Tim Burton-produced classic, directed by Henry Selick, has long been a fan favorite for its unique fusion of Halloween and Christmas themes. Following the story of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, as he discovers the wonder of Christmas, the movie has become a staple for both holidays. The film’s signature animation style and hauntingly beautiful music by Danny Elfman continue to captivate audiences young and old.
Hocus Pocus Casts Its Spell Again on October 18
Just a week after The Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus makes its theatrical return on October 18. The Sanderson sisters, played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, are back to create Halloween magic all over again. This 1993 cult classic has grown in popularity over the years, solidifying its status as a must-watch during spooky season. The hilarious antics of the resurrected witches as they attempt to wreak havoc on modern-day Salem have made Hocus Pocus a beloved favorite, especially for fans who enjoy a mix of comedy and light horror.
Celebrating Timeless Halloween Classics
The return of these two films is a perfect way to celebrate the Halloween season. Disney’s decision to bring The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus back to theaters highlights the timeless appeal of these movies. Beyond the thrill of watching them at home, seeing them on the big screen enhances the experience, allowing audiences to enjoy the films in a communal setting that amplifies the nostalgia and festive spirit.
Tickets for the screenings will be available soon, as hinted by numerous posts on X (formerly Twitter). The re-release of these classics also shows how Disney continues to tap into the enduring popularity of its iconic properties, ensuring that both longtime fans and newcomers can experience the magic once more.
