The pub has been completely transformed into Halloween Town from the film and is complete with life-sized statues of main characters along with an array of small touches to enhance the film-themed aesthetic. This even includes artwork adorned on the walls that will remind patrons of iconic scenes from the film as they enjoy a cocktail or pint of their choosing. The Nightmare Before Christmas theme at the Ill Minster Pub can be enjoyed until Halloween when the location will transition over to Christmas Town from the film.
