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 .
