OUT ON VIDEO

  • By Kim Campbell

* THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS - (PG, Touchstone Home Video). Based on characters and a story created by Tim Burton (``Beetlejuice,'' ``Edward Scissorhands''), this skillfully animated tale stars a skeleton named Jack as the Pumpkin King in the town of Halloween. After he inadvertently discovers Christmas Town, Jack brings examples of its charms back to his ghoulish townmates and decides that they should produce Christmas - much to Santa's surprise. Although the movie is full of catchy songs, its subtleties will be appreciated more by adults and older children than by younger viewers, who may not be ready for some of its situations and Halloween imagery. (Oct. 15, 1993)

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
