“People are scared of things that are different.” Tim Burton is one of my favorite creators. He’s an amazing director, writer, animator, and artist and I love his unique style. He has had a hand in many of my favorite films including Batman (1989), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Big Fish (2003), and Sweeney Todd: The DemonContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Edward Scissorhands (1990)”

The film also featured early cinematic performances from Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis (Both had been in quite a few television shows prior to this movie.

Heads Rolled On Day O’Horror #10!
Inspired by Washington Irving With direction by Tim Burton, music by Danny Elfman, gorgeous sets, and an amazing cast, it’s easy to see why 1999’s Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite films.
