‘FRANKENWEENIE’ goes old-school classic monster movie!

I have always been a fan of Tim Burton’s short film Frankenweenie. I remember the VHS being released with the hot pink font and the image of the dog on the front after Burton’s success with Batman & Beetlejuice even though it is no secret that Disney thought the film was too macabre for kids back when it was made in 1984. Now it looks like Disney is embracing the classic horror movie vibe with Burton’s full length adaptation. At Comic-Con Disney released a retro poster as well as a trailer. Check them out below!

For good measure, here is Burton’s original 30-minute short film as well:

In addition to his role on the site, he also programs St. Louis' monthly horror & exploitation theatrical midnight program, Late Nite Grindhouse. Coming from a household of a sci-fi father and a horror/supernatural loving mother, Andy's path to loving genre film was clear. He misses VHS and his personal Saturday night 6 tape movie marathons from his youth.
