Tim Burton Spooky Spectacular 35mm Marathon

Sunday, October 19, 2025, Million Dollar Theater

Four of Tim Burton's greatest, spooky, Halloween season movies. All on 35mm film prints. At the Million Dollar Theater Movie Palace. You can get two for one (two tickets for the price of one) to any individual movie through Thurs 10/16/25 or an all-day Spooky Spectacular pass (best deal).

10a Frankenweenie (2012, dir by Tim Burton, Disney, 87mns, USA, 35mm) We kick off with a Tim Burton matinee for the whole family. In 1983, Burton made a 30 minute short movie Frankenweenie about a boy who brings his beloved dog Sparky back to life after a tragic ball chasing car accident. 30 years later, Burton expanded the story into a stop motion feature many consider his most underrated movie. Full of engaged Burton touches and a hilarous riff on the James Whale 1930's Frankenstein movies. Bring the whole family for some Halloween fun. Then before or after go the Grand Central Market next door for delicious breakfast or lunch.

4p Sleepy Hollow (1999, dir by Tim Burton, Paramount, 105mns, USA, 35mm) Burton went surprisingly dark and bloody in this wonderfully atmospheric and visually ravishing take on the classic American Washington Irving folk tale. Here Ichabod Crane (an always committed Johnny Depp) is a big city detective with trauma who investigates mysterious unsolved murders in the 18th century country town of Sleepy Hollow. But legends of a Headless Horseman are too much for Ichabod until he comes face to face with the demon horseman (Christopher Walken!) himself. Shot by Alfonso Cuaron's master DP Emmanuel Lubezki, a must see Burton.

630p Ed Wood (1994, dir by Tim Burton, written by Scott Alexander & Larry Karasewski, Disney/Touchstone, 127mns, USA, 35mm) Considered by many to be Burton's best, most personal movie, Ed Wood tells the real life story of 1950's schlockmaster director Ed Wood (an impossibly chipper Johnny Depp) who overcame all obstacles to make what many people consider the worst movie ever made: Plan 9 From Outer Space. Backed by a great script by Scott Alexander and Larry Karasewski and an ensemble cast that includes Martin Landau as aging Bela Lugosi (the role for which he won the Academy Award) and a hilariously game Bill Murray, Ed Wood is Burton's valentine to how weirdos and outcasts can find their own family and make their own art. One of the great 1990's movies.

9p Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007, dir by Tim Burton, based on the musical by Stephen Sondheim, Paramount, 116mns, USA, 35mm) After a period in the metaphorical woods where Burton didn't seem as engaged as his 80's, 90's work, he came roaring back with his bloodiest, darkest, most gothic movie yet, his musical adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's classic Sweeney Todd. Burton muse Johnny Depp plays the near mad, revenge obsessed barber Sweeney who returns to London after being unjustly imprisoned to wreck his revenge on the Judge (Alan Rickman) who tore apart his family. While he butchers, murders people, he gives them to loony Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham-Carter) to cook into her pies. A ferocious return to form, Sweeney Todd showed Burton still had misfit fury to burn. And the ending. . .well. . .prepare for one of the most devastating endings of any musical ever.
