If you know anything about me, you know that I’ve watched every Halloween movie ever made. But few of these ghastly delights have captured my imagination like Tim Burton’s 1984 classic, Frankenweenie.
A spooky tale about a little boy aptly named Victor Frankenstein and his beloved pet, Sparky. The film is a 30 minute story about what happens when Sparky dies and Victor can’t let him go. The dog is revived after an elaborate scene filled with spooky machines and a stormy night. Victor’s neighbors are terrified and chase Sparky away leading up to the climactic death and reviving of Sparky.
I can’t bear to get rid of my VHS player because I wouldn’t be able to play my ancient VHS copy of Frankenweenie or Arsenic and Old Lace. It’s just not time to part with these things yet.
Anyway, yesterday I read that Tim Burton is remaking Frankenweenie into a feature length movie in black and white stop motion animation! I am so excited. Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Martin Landau and Catherine O’Hara are all participating in the film and I can’t think of a better Halloween gift than going to see this with all of my friends. Especially since it’s not a book or TV adaptation, it’s Burton doing Burton which is always the best.
I found this Old Velvet Victorian looking dress at the local liodwogl. I bought velvet cape. It cost me less than $ 20. I just havn’t made up my mind to be a witch or vampire.
