Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005)

Not doing banners as a regular thing, mostly because I'm having a bitch of a time finding piccers :D

OKAY. Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, a revisitation of the stop-animation that made his cult-classic The Nightmare Before Christmas so iconic and groundbreaking. Another musical of sorts but, again, the songs are so perfectly fitting that you can't blame the genre, sometimes the slightest bit of music is perfect (not to the extent where Tangled completely butchered it). This movie is chilling, deep, and expresses a lifelong notion of forced marriage. First he's forced to marry a woman he's moderately attracted to, then he accidentally marries a dead women. It's witty, it's charming, it's visually disturbing yet pleasing, the conflict is a little iffy, as is the villian, but I holy approve of this movie and it's a definite Halloween must.

Scare Rating: 5/10, has all of the frightening imagery that it's gruesome predecessor had but none of the Boogeyman.
