Family-friendly Halloween screening of Tim Burton's 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' at the North Bay Playhouse, with audiences encouraged to dress to scare.
The Thalia-Beau Foundation is bringing Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas to the North Bay Playhouse on Saturday 31 October, just in time for Halloween. It's an afternoon screening, so it works as a family outing rather than a late-night one — the film starts at 2pm, which leaves plenty of the day left after you've come out.
There's a bit of a dress code to consider here, too. The foundation is encouraging people to 'dress to scare' for the afternoon, so if you've got a costume you've been waiting for an excuse to wear, this is a good spot for it. It's a family-friendly screening, so it's as much for the kids as for the adults.
It's also worth knowing what's behind it. The screening is one of two events the Thalia-Beau Foundation is putting on this autumn to raise funds for the charity. The foundation was set up in memory of five-year-old Thalia-Beau, and it supports poorly children and their families during hospital stays with care packages and seasonal gifts, and also supports bereaved parents. So the ticket goes to that work.

That's the first of the two events they've got planned for the season — the fundraising continues with their annual Winter Ball at the Scarborough Spa on Saturday 21 November. Tickets for the screening are £10 per person and must be booked in advance, so you'll need to get yours sorted before the day. The screening is at the North Bay Playhouse on North Marine Road in Scarborough, starting at 2pm on Saturday 31 October.
