Join us on Friday the 13th of December at Fort East Martello for a free outdoor movie night for an especially spooky Key West Christmas ! 🌳
"The Nightmare Before Christmas" is often seen as both a Halloween and a Christmas movie, which is part of its charm. The film, directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton, blends elements of both holidays.
Halloween Themes: The movie is set in Halloween Town and centers around Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, and other spooky characters. It opens with Halloween celebrations and has a dark, eerie aesthetic typical of Halloween.
Christmas Themes: The main plot involves Jack discovering Christmas Town and trying to take over the Christmas holiday. Many scenes focus on Christmas decorations, gift-giving, and Santa Claus, making it fit within the Christmas spirit too.
Because of this mix, it can be enjoyed during either holiday—or both! Fans often debate, but it’s widely accepted that it can be appreciated for both Halloween and Christmas.
Enjoy delicious food from our vendors, including fresh-squeezed lemonade, frozen treats, and all your favorite snacks. Plus, don’t forget the free popcorn, courtesy of First State Bank of the Florida Keys which benefits the Key West High School! 🍿 Don’t miss out on this wonderful community event. We can’t wait to see you there! #MovieNight #CommunityEvent #keywestoutdoormovies
