Friday’s fun is being staged by the Gambolling Arena innovative theatre company.
Director Suzy Walker said: “As we find ourselves in the race to both Halloween and Christmas, why not talk about something that celebrates both?
“Gambolling Arena returns to the Southport Bijou Cinema this Friday to present our brand new ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ live show, featuring real life actors performing their version of the classic movie!
“Following their floor show will be a screening of the film itself!

“The show starts at 6.30pm with the film at 7.30pm.
“The event will be finished at approximately 8.50pm for those bringing children.”
There is much to enjoy on Saturday too.
Southport Bijou Cinema Manager Andy Harrison said: “This Saturday at 7.30pm, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is back at the Bijou!
“This time, it’s to celebrate our third birthday!
“Our Day 1 Bijou fans will know that Rocky Horror was the first film we ever showed, and 2022 will bring in the first anniversary that we can truly celebrate and honour that with no social distancing!
“So come along to a sing-a-long, dance-a-long, fancy dress endorsed party, and celebrate all things spooky at Halloween with us in DJ Deadite’s Disco following the film!”
