ABOUT "HOCUS POCUS"
You're in for a devil of a time when three outlandishly wild witches - Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy return from 17th-century Salem after they're accidentally conjured up by some unsuspecting pranksters! It's a night full of zany fun and comic chaos once the tricky 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and RECLAIM their youth - but first they must get their act together and outwit three kids and a talking cat!

ABOUT "THE BLACK CAULDRON"
Fantasy, magic and fun are all brewed together in Disney's legendary adventure "The Black Cauldron." Whoever releases the mysterious Black Cauldron's power will be invincible! The fearsome Horned King will do anything to possess it, but he is challenged by the most unlikely adversary - a young assistant pig keeper named Taran, who dreams of doing heroic deeds. With a motley team of the BRAVE Princess Eilonwy, a minstrel named Fflewddur Fflam and Hen Wen, a remarkable pig who can predict the future, Taran embarks on a quest to stop the Black Cauldron's evil once and for all. Will he have the courage to succeed?

ABOUT "THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS"
First released in 1993, Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" was directed by Henry Selick and based on a story and characters by Tim Burton. The film follows the earnest-but-misguided adventures of Jack Skellington, Halloween Town's beloved Pumpkin King, as he attempts to take over the Christmas holiday. Against the advice of Sally, a lonely rag doll who has feelings for him, Jack enlists three mischievous trick-or-treaters - Lock, Shock and Barrel - to help him kidnap Santa Claus.

Jack eventually realizes his mistake but has to contend with the evil Oogie Boogie before he can make things right and restore the Christmas holiday. Fueled by an unforgettable Grammy-nominated soundtrack featuring songs by Oscar nominee Danny Elfman, Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" in spine-tingling 4-D (interactive sensory effects including lights, scents, wind, snow and fog) promises to be fun for the whole family.
