““Part avant-garde art film, part amusing but morbid fairy tale, it is a delightfully ghoulish holiday musical that displays more inventiveness in its brief 75 minutes than some studios can manage in an entire year”

About The Film
1993 | PG | 76 mins
In the perpetually spooky world of Halloween Town, Jack Skellington grows weary of the same annual festivities. When he stumbles by chance upon another world, Christmas Town, his desire to host his own version of Christmas borders on the obsessive; will Jack’s plans come together, or will he lose everything he cares about?

About The Location
Construction of Armada House on Telephone Avenue began in 1901. The building was used by the Bristol Water Company. In 1958, the first non-operator telephone call was placed by the Queen, from Telephone Avenue to Edinburgh. BT used Armada House, then known as Nova House, as their head office until 1990.
