If Frankenweenie hit the spot, these will too

Witty where it counts, playful underneath

Both keep coming back to the same thing: halloween
The difference: 27 years apart, and the 1980s show

The same mix in both: dread, then unease

One thread runs through both: halloween
The difference: Easier on the ideas than Frankenweenie

Both lean on ideas more than on comedy

Horror built on wit, twice over


Dread-soaked family, and it commits to that

Science fiction with a pulse of unease, in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to romance than Frankenweenie does

Witty animation, and it commits to that
The difference: Leans harder into fantasy than Frankenweenie does

Cerebral horror, and it commits to that

Playful comedy, and it commits to that
