Today is the first day of October, and to mark the occasion Disney has unveiled a batch of appropriately spooky posters for Tim Burtonâs stop-motion animated feature Frankenweenie. The six posters boast some amusing artwork thatâs inspired by classic monster movies, with titles such as âDay of the Turtle,â âCurse of the Mummy Hamster,â and âReturn of the Vampire Cat.â The posters are a lot of fun, and I actually think itâd be great if Disney produced some short films based on these goofy creations.Hit the jump to check out the posters, and click here to read Mattâs review of the film. The pic features the voices of Charlie Tahan, Winona Rider, Martin Short, Martin Landau, Christopher Lee and Catherine OâHara. Frankenweenie opens in 3D on October 5th.
Hereâs the synopsis for Frankenweenie:
From creative genius Tim Burton (âAlice in Wonderland,â The Nightmare Before Christmasâ) comes âFrankenweenie,â a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to lifeâwith just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victorâs fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new âleash on lifeâ can be monstrous.
