Bored with the same old scare-and-scream routine? Pumpkin King Jack Skellington returns to the big screen in Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas for two nights only. The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloween town’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 Christmas town, 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.

But Harry’s fate, and that of the entire community of wizards, looks bleak when the infamous Sirius Black–convicted of abetting evil Lord Voldemort by killing 13 people with a single curse–escapes from prison. The only clue to where Sirius is headed: The Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep “He’s at Hogwarts … He’s at Hogwarts.” Now, even within the walls of his magical school, Harry may not be safe from a convicted killer in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
