The Nightmare Before Christmas is celebrating 25 years since its initial theatrical release and D23 is making a big hullabaloo with a big presence at San Diego Comic-Con this year with a special pop-up experience, a panel, and even a D23 Member Mixer. We had the chance to attend all three offerings on Saturday, June 21 and are happy to present you with your no-lines necessary front-row access! ENJOY!

Pop-Up Experience

Located at the historic Davis-Horton House was the magical Holiday Door that Jack Skellington was enticed to open and be transported to Christmas Town. There was also a “Many Faces of Jack Skellington” art display featuring uniform skulls that were transformed by artists with unique interpretations!
