A Child's Garden of Nightmares
Paperback
Publication Date: 30/05/2007
Tim Burton's "A Child's Garden of Nightmares" charts the filmmaker's path from malcontent animator at Walt Disney Productions (creating the 'scary movies for little kids', "Vincent and Frankenweenie") to directing feature films with a fantasy aesthetic and a natural sympathy for the alienated outsider ("Ed Wood", "Edward Scissorhands", "Batman", the "Deformed Penguin"). The book also acknowledges, both textually and visually, some of the 'monster culture' influences that inform his films: "Famous Monsters" of Filmland magazine, the films of Ed D. Wood, Jr. (the infamous 'worst filmmaker ever'), and the trading cards that inspired his "Mars Attacks"! This popular cult title is now updated and revised to include Burton's latest three films - "Big Fish", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "The Corpse Bride" - and to preview 2008's upcoming "Sweeney Todd".
