You're in for a devil of a time when three outlandishly wild witches--- Bette Midler , Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy ---return from 17th-century Salem after they're accidentally conjured up by some unsuspecting pranksters. It's a night full of zany fun and comic chaos once the tricky 300-year-old trio set out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth...but first they must get their act together and outwit three kids and a talking cat. Contains tobacco depictions.

Enter an extraordinary world filled with magic and wonder, where every holiday has its own special land. This is the heartfelt tale of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town and all things that go bump in the night. Bored with the same old trick and treats, he yearns for something more, and soon stumbles upon the glorious magic of Christmas Town. When Jack decides to bring this joyful holiday back to Halloween Town, his dreams to fill Santa's shows unravels, and it's up to Sally, the rag doll who loves him, to stitch things together again.
