Tim Burton and Vincent Price in 1982

I thought Tim Burton was just a crappy director who liked to ruin movies by making them too gothic or stupid. I still can’t forgive him for what he did to Planet of the Apes or to Batman. But he has an awesome artistic eye for stop motion animation and his artwork in printed form is unmistakable. He was goth before it was ever fashionable. And here is a short film about what must be the original Emo Kid. Enjoy.
