If you love The Nightmare Before Christmas and the Oogie Boogie Bash event at Disney California Adventure, there is an amazing event happening just down the way from the Disneyland resort that you NEED to know about. The creative forces behind the wildly popular family Halloween event, Oogie Boogie Bash will be live on stage at The Frida Cinema to discuss the creation of the sell-out event in a discussion hosted by  “Dizney Coast to Coast” podcast host, Jeff DePaoli. This will be followed by a special screening of A Nightmare Before Christmas.

Tickets are $30 and it includes a commemorative lanyard and special takeaway gifts.

The creative team at Disney Live Entertainment and Walt Disney Imagineering will reveal the design and creation process on stage at The Frida Cinema (7 miles from Disneyland) on Sunday, October 9th at 3pm.

A limited amount of tickets are now on sale for this one-time-only event. General admission includes access to the live panel, movie screening, and takeaway gifts including an event lanyard and poster. Beyond the general admission offerings, VIP tickets include a reserved seating section plus popcorn and soda. Tickets are now available at TheFridaCinema.org. 

Scheduled to appear on the panel are Oogie Boogie Bash creator and show director Jordan Peterson, media and lighting director KC Wilkerson, and producer Jennifer Magill. With these talents covering a wide range of what makes Oogie Boogie Bash so special, it’s sure to be an entertaining and insightful conversation. 

Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” has been delighting audiences since 1993 and is now traditional viewing for fans of both Halloween and Christmas alike. Fans first saw the iconic movie introduced in the Disney Parks with Haunted Mansion Holiday in 2001. Its presence expanded at Disneyland Resort in a major way in 2019 with the creation of Oogie Boogie Bash. 

“Having the chance to chat with the folks who created Oogie Boogie Bash is an absolute joy for me,” says DePaoli. “As someone who loves live entertainment and Halloween, I was blown away by this event when it first premiered. I can’t wait to get some behind the scenes insight direct from the folks who built it. And then to follow it up with a viewing of the movie that inspired it on the big screen feels like the perfect way to conclude our conversation.” 

This event will be produced under DePaoli’s depaolEVENTS label and is being sponsored by Midsummer Scream and the Haunted Mansion inspired Ghostly Retreat.
