Salem Park, Recreation & Community Services and Creative Collective present the June 2019 edition of the Summer Winter Island Pop Up Drive-In series.

Nightmare Before Christmas

Bored with the same old scare-and-scream routine, Pumpkin King Jack Skellington longs to spread the joy of Christmas. But his merry mission puts Santa in jeopardy and creates a nightmare for good little boys and girls everywhere!
