The legendary El Capitan Theatre becomes your Hollywood destination for Halloween showing Disney’s HOCUS POCUS October 21-23 and Tim Burton’s THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS October 25-31, in 3D with spine-tingling interactive 4D sensory effects, including wind, snow, fog and much more.
Prior to every screening of HOCUS POCUS and THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS The El Capitan Theatre’s organist Rob Richards will accompany the 1929 classic Disney short THE SKELETON DANCE live on the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ. In the lobby, theatre guests may enjoy props, costumes and photo opportunities from these two beloved classic Halloween movies before and after every screening.
But wait, there’s more!
This year, The El Capitan Theatre introduces its new Spooktacular BACKSTAGE Tour. Guests will be guided through areas of the theatre rarely open to the public. History will be shared about the Ghouls and Haunts of this historic venue, including the origins of The Mighty Wurlitzer Organ. Ghosts and Goblins of all ages are encouraged to attend in costume. Advance reservations are required as there is limited space per tour.
