The Nightmare Before Christmas
When Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, grows tired of the same old scares, he stumbles upon Christmas Town and becomes fascinated by its warmth, wonder, and holiday cheer.
Determined to bring Christmas home, Jack puts his own spooky spin on the season—with unexpected and wonderfully strange results.
Featuring unforgettable characters, imaginative stop-motion animation, and the music of Danny Elfman, The Nightmare Before Christmas has become a beloved holiday classic for fans of both Halloween and Christmas.

Canoe Dig It
Canoe Dig It? is a comedic mockumentary directed by Samuel Dunning that follows a colorful cast of eccentric competitors vying for the coveted "Top Paddler" blue ribbon at the Moosehead Lake Regional Finals in northern Maine. Lovingly spoofing the very real but obscure niche sport of Freestyle Canoeing (often called "canoe dancing"), the film highlights paddlers who choreograph intricate twists, turns, and synchronized dips to the music of their choice.
