Bull terrier "Sparky" comes back to life after getting hit by a car in Frankenweenie.
Growing up as a misfit in sun-baked Burbank, California, Tim Burton sought refuge in the dark, twisted black-and-white world of monster movies from the 1930s. And now he’s made an homage to them that is uniquely his own — and it comes complete with freaky promotional posters.
Burton pays tribute to Dracula, Frankenstein and other scary flicks in his 3-D stop-motion creation Frankenweenie, opening Friday, and to drive home the point, the director and his team have produced retro-styled posters featuring cute mutants surrounded by the kind of shocking slogans that once scared the hell out of horror fans — and brought them to theaters.
Burton’s visual concepts are also being showcased in the The Art of Frankenweenie exhibition, which runs through Nov. 7 at Disney’s California Adventure theme park following stops in Spain, France, Japan, Canada, England and Mexico. Check out a few of the demonic household pet posters from the Frankenweenie universe in the poster gallery above.
Frankenweenie, rated PG, opens Friday.
