With the pandemic still trekking on, it’s important to keep yourself safe during the spooky season. Taking precautions, like washing your hands and wearing masks, will ensure you stay healthy and well. Many people are debating whether Halloween should be cancelled due to COVID-19. Corporations and businesses that rely on the holiday are hoping to keep the customs alive. Candy manufacturers, costume designers, and even the movie industry all look to Halloween as their big boom in business. The cancellation of Halloween will also impact the kids that see the day as a joy. In an interview with The New York Times, Dr. Gosh said, “I think completely taking away Halloween could be detrimental to some of the mental health issues that kids are facing right now.” Halloween is an outlet for kids to express their creativity and have some fun. This Halloween, the Centers for Disease Control recommend trick-or-treating be minimized and controlled. Wearing masks, gloves, and bringing hand sanitizer is the safest way to still go out, as well as staying six feet apart from other goers and setting candy bags outside to grab quickly.

Introduction Growing up I have seen many films, but one film has always stood out for me: Corpse Bride (2005). As soon as we got the DVD of this film, I must have watched it at least 20 times. This film marked the start of my love for Tim Burton films and music by Danny Elfman. After Corpse Bride I have seen many other films by Tim Burton. What has always intrigued me about his films, is that the storylines are quite dark and often use dark colours. This insinuates that Burton’s films could be horror films,1 but this is not always the case. The question this raises is to what extent the music in his films features horror elements. The main question in this thesis is: To what extent does the music of Danny Elfman in films by Tim Burton express fright? In this thesis I am focusing on the music itself, because I want to find out whether it is obvious from the music alone that it is frightening or not.

  • Transmediating Tim Burton's Gotham City
    Transmediating Tim Burton’s Gotham City: Brand Convergence, Child Audiences, and Batman: The Animated Series MATTHEW FREEMAN, University of Nottingham ABSTRACT During the early 1990s, Batman, a highly valued media franchise, was an ever-expanding phenomenon, with franchise owner Warner Bros. having reinvigorated the property with Batman (Tim Burton, 1989). This article will examine the subsequent six-year period of its franchise production, using Batman as a case study for exploring the ways in which distinct versions of a fictional character – each constructed under different creative contexts with differing artistic sensibilities, aimed at varying groups of audiences across media – became the combined products of brand convergence across each media iteration, a concept that was crucial to the transmediality of Batman as both commercial brand and fictional storyworld. KEYWORDS Transmedia storytelling, media branding, franchise, merchandise, superhero characters. Introduction William Uricchio rightly acknowledges that ‘Gotham City as a brand is a highly valued asset not only of the Batman franchise, but of the larger corporate entities of DC Comics and Warner Bros’ (2010, 119). During the early 1990s, this Batman brand was an ever-expanding phenomenon, with franchise owner Warner Bros. having reinvigorated the property with Batman (Tim Burton, 1989). Batman Returns (Tim Burton, 1992), its sequel, was soon in development, and Warner Bros. would complement its theatrical release with a multitude of products in and across other media. Alongside the film was a series of video games, comic books and tie-in merchandise, each simultaneously promoting both Burton’s blockbuster film and the character’s latest television outing, Batman: The Animated Series (Warner Bros.
