The 'horror' of this movie is showing that the 'regular' people are the monsters. Edward is perceived as the monster, but he is the most humane of them all. You're right - he should've had redemption, but the true monsters would never have accepted it. Such a sad story. Great reaction ❤️

Agreed, this is a great movie. I first seen it in theaters myself, went in with expectations he was the monster.

[@Icelandic_Sand]

He didn't need a redemption arc because there was nothing to redeem. Edward was manipulated into picking the lock at Jim's house, and that was the only wrong thing he did the whole movie. Him killing Jim at the end was completely in self defense. The townsfolk need a redemption arc if anything, lol.

It's worth noticing that when Jim was attacking Edward at the end he wouldn't defend himself. It was only when he attacked Kim that Edward fought back.

This was also horror icon Vincent Price's last film until his passing in 1993. Tim Burton said it was a thrill working with his favorite horror film actor. He even did a documentary called A Conversation With Vincent, which was sadly cancelled and it's been rumored that 20 minutes of lost footage still exists.

[@van8ryan]

They became friends when Price agreed to narrated Burton's first Disney short VINCENT, and sadly EDWARD SCISSORHANDS was the only other time they worked together. Burton was originally going to cast Price to play Santa Claus in NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, but at that point, his voice was described by Burton as "deeply sad and far too quiet" and it simply didn't work well; Price died not long after those recordings

To put a face to a voice; the old man teaching Edward is Vincent Price. He his the voice on the Michael Jackson Thriller video that recites the poem and does the laugh. He was a trained Shakespearean actor who found his niche in American horror movies. He was a brilliant actor.

And a great cook and philanthropist. He was famous in his home town of St. Louis, Missouri. 🙂

Oddly enough, the majority of Vincent's film were not horror. He'd been acting since the 40's. It's just that the horror pictures are the ones everyone remembers.

[@johnsmith-nn2hs]

Vincent Price suffered from emphysema and was in a wheelchair near the end. His daughter took him to the boardwalk one day, and a homeless guy recognized him, yelling "Vincent! Vincent!" Eventually he caught up to them. It was Johnny Depp.😅

Sweet! Dianne West plays the mother in several of my favorite 80's movies: Lost Boys, Edward Scissorhands, and Parenthood. I think it is her soft voice. If you haven't seen Parenthood with Steve Martin (and a very young Keanu Reeves), put it on your list for when you need a sweetly funny movie about being a parent, a brother, a kid...

[@angelcarrillo71]

In my mind, I always associated this movie as a Christmas movie. Winona's character pissed me so much when I first watched this cause like you said she never speaks up for Edward until some parts at the end. I guess the intention is if the community believes all the bad things he did and now assumes he's dead, they'll just forget about him and move on, but if he was exonerated, they would continue to bother and use him and I guess Winona's character wanted them to leave him alone.

[@van8ryan]

It was released in theaters in December of 1990, so yeah, practically was a "Christmas movie"

[@Arthaius]

@@van8ryan - Yeah, I was onboard with this attitude as well, I was saying to myself :: " ... Wait guys, you are thinking that this is going to be a creepy horror style movie? Like Freddy Kruger? For Halloween? Oh... no no no guys someone fed you the wrong idea on what any of this movie is about.. there is no horror, no Halloween, it's more like a Christmas movie ... " Then I made myself laugh and thought ... " Like Die Hard " lol. But yeah, long story short, I always thought of this as Christmas related, unless I'm mistaken I think the once a year when it snows the old lady mentions I think it's supposed to be during Christmas time.

[@stacym31]

Good point! They would have still used him. She gave him freedom from that, because she loved him.

[@gunman462]

I view it as a brothers grimm type story that could have been set in medieval times and made a lot more sense. A character that was completely isolated and alone got to be a part of the community and show his, for lack of a better word, beauty. It's porn for the isolated, good people in a sense.

[@carriemichelle322]

The mother is also the mom in The Lost Boys.

[@RDRussell2]

As you say, "Never judge a book by its cover." But there are other important themes here too, such as the danger of mob mentality once the mob has settled on a victim. Also: the "misunderstood monster" is a trope that goes back to at least the original Frankenstein movie, which of course is based on a novel from 1818. (The Hunchback of Notre Dame is another example of the misunderstood monster, first published in the 1830s. Even The Ugly Duckling is about a misunderstood "monster.") I think these themes resonate because we all have flaws, some well-hidden and some not. And most of us (I hope!) are good, decent people despite our flaws; no one wants to be judged only on a perceived flaw. Making the case even stronger: As with so many people in real life, Edward's "flaw" is not even truly a flaw. He does not have a flawed personality or character; his only flaw is an accident of his birth. (Contrast with Jim (Anthony Michael Hall) who is very flawed human being, indeed.) Because of the way these universal themes are expressed, I do think Edward Scissorhands is Tim Burton's best movie. He has a lot of good, even great, movies. But this one is the best in my view.

[@vincentschmitt7597]

The Twilight Zone episode The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street is also a great example of mob mentality. One of the best in its run.

Yep, that was Winona Ryder from "Beetlejuice", but a couple other actors you may have not recognized was the jerk boyfriend played by Anthony Michael Hall who was also the brainy kid from "The Breakfast Club", and the Avon selling Mom was Diane Wiest who played the Mom from "The Lost Boys".

My favorite Tim Burton movie! Back when him and Johnny Depp were inspired and creative, instead of now when I almost reflexively yawn if I hear they're doing another movie together. You can tell this one was so personal for Burton, like Edward seems to represent himself as a weirdo misunderstood outcast who's really a sensitive artist underneath. And the dark fairy tale vibe is just so perfect. My other favorite Burton-Depp collabo you guys should watch is "Ed Wood", a movie based on the life of the real film director of the same name from the 1950's who was infamous for his un-watchably bad horror films, including one of the most notoriously awful movies of all time "Plan 9 from Outer Space". Another one that would be good for the spooky season is "Sleepy Hollow", Burton's reworking of the classic American folktale. I love the way Burton reimagines it as a gothic horror-suspense-mystery, with tons of references to the classic Hammer horror films. Plus it's one of the only times Burton ever took a stab at making a straight-up horror film

[@TheGelasiaBlythe]

Ambrosia salad: pineapple, mandarin oranges, coconut, mini-fruit flavored marshmallows, and Cool Whip. (I've also seen it with maraschino cherries in it as well.) You should check out the movie Mars Attacks. You'll recognize a bunch of the cast, and laugh yourselves silly.

[@sweatd0g]

Great reactions! When it was released, this was the first Tim Burton film I'd seen, and it was him at his best. He centers the story around a character who is "different", misjudged, or misunderstood and shows the beauty of that character despite how others react. My favorite Burton films follow that storyline. And how poetic that Vincent Price ended his career with this movie. Love it. Now if you want scary...watch THE THING (1982). It's a real test.

[@ianbarnard4963]

Another vote for The Thing - a great movie which will have you on the edge of your seat.

[@lifewuzonceezr]

I saw The Thing..alone on New Years day .. still a little traumatized . LOL

[@leogem177]

I think the theme of being different, misjudged and misunderstood is strangely something that has tended to follow Johnny Depp around in real life. Its like art imitating reality! He was more a rocker who became an actor but was never going to fit the squeaky clean male lead people wanted him to be having had a difficult, unstable childhood, constantly changing schools (being the new kid trying to fit in!). When he made money and bought the Viper Room within 6 months River Phoenix OD'ed outside and he was basically blamed in the press even though he wasn't there, all reports were that River was already unwell on the way in and he had only been in the club an hour. He was unfairly given a bad boy image that followed him around. However most especially of course this theme with the Amber Heard drama of the last few years. Some people, especially the media, just assumed all crazy lies she was telling were true even though, in reality, the evidence showed they made no sense at all. He had unfortunately managed to become entangled with one of the most toxic, unstable, women you could possibly meet. She was very abusive and manipulative towards him and was taking advantage of him. The trial in the UK was absurdly biased against him like something out of a medieval witch trial and even when the jury in the US cleared him 6 years later the main stream media still insisted on spewing inaccurate, negative, miss information about him. Its so much like Edward Sissorhands situation of this film - art weirdly imitating reality!! Hopefully all the toxicity and mis judgement is behind him, but probably like Edward he'll always be the outsider at heart!

[@MisterWondrous]

So excited to watch this with y'all. Johnny and Winona have never been more adorable, and the soundtrack, and ice dance, are among the most beautiful minutes in the history of cinema.

Sweeney Todd is so good and it's doesn't get the attention it deserves. Can really feel all the deep emotions in the singing in a way most musicals don't go to.

Other notable actors they you may or may not have recognized were Dianne Wiest as the sweet Avon Lady mom {who was also the mom from The Lost Boys} and Anthony Michael Hall as the boyfriend/ bully {whom also played the dweeb/brain in The Breakfast Club}.

Ambrosia salad (ambrosia fruit salad) was big in the '70s (and maybe '50s and '60s?). Every family gathering had ambrosia salad. The way my grandmother made it was with mixing red Jell-O and whipped cream (so it would look pink) and adding chunks of pineapple, mandarin oranges, grapes, and with maraschino cherries on top or mixed in. Traditional ambrosia had shredded coconut and walnuts/pecans, and no Jell-O (I think). But my grandmother didn't really like coconut or nuts in things.

Ambrosia is an American variety of fruit salad originating in the Southern United States. Most ambrosia recipes contain canned or fresh pineapple, canned mandarin orange slices or fresh orange sections, miniature marshmallows, and coconut. It was considered "exotic" in typical middle class homes during the time of this film, which is set in the 1980s it seems.

I remember loving it back when I was a kid (in the 80s). It seemed to definitely be a potlock or cookout staple back then (at least in the South).

This is the inventor Vincent Price's last film of very many. And the film that solidified Depp as a true actor and star. BTW did you realize when watching Nightmare on Elm Street, that Johnny Depp was the main girl's boyfriend. The one who couldn't stay awake? Wasn't sure I heard you mention it.

[@PurpleIris034]

One of my favorite Johnny Depp films, by the way Johnnys first movie was in Nightmare on Elm St which you reacted to last week. He and Wynona Ryder fell in love and dated for a few years. Vincent Price is the voice in Michael Jackson’s song Thriller. Thanks again guys and God Bless.

[@smylyface]

Nightmare on Elm Street was Johnny Depp's first movie and Edward Scissorhands was his first starring role in a hit movie. I never thought about the scissor/knife hands connection until you said something. The actress Winona Ryder was dating Johnny when they filmed this together. They were the IT couple of back then. Possibly the most beautiful couple Hollywood has ever seen. This movie brings back so many great memories. Thanks for the reaction.

[@nsasupporter7557]

Did they even recognize him in Nightmare?

I love Johnny Depp, such a great character actor and Winona Ryder is one of my favorites. Love her in stranger things and Dracula. Can't believe you guys never watched this before.

[@Danishwoman78]

The soundtrack is also amazing ❤

[@valogden]

This movie was released at Christmas time and I have always associated this movie with Christmas. This movie has such a 70s feel to it. The daughter's boyfriend is the geeky boy in The Breakfast Club and son in Vacation. I love this movie and Johnny Depp is fantastic in it. Another movie that he and especially Leonard DiCaprio are phenomenal in is What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

[@kevinmeyers7821]

I'm 40, and I still can't watch it without crying.

The boyfriend is Anthony Michael Hall who also played Brian, the brainy one in The Breakfast Club. He's also in the first Vacation movie, and Sixteen Candles. You should watch those too.

The mother is the same lady in Footloose(1984) which you haven’t reacted to yet I believe. The daughter is Winona Ryder which was the daughter in Beetlejuice. Obviously that’s Johnny Depp playing Scissorhands. Edwards “father” that made him in the castle is Vincent Price whom voiced the other part in o Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Oh and the boyfriend is the nerdy boy in The Breakfast Club.

The daughter's (Winona Ryder) boyfriend (Anthony Michael Hall) was in "The Breakfast Club", he was the smart "geek". Another Halloween movie to watch would be "Sleepy Hollow" (1999) with Johnny Depp, or "The Frighteners" (1996) with Michael J. Fox. They aren't really gory, but very suspenseful.

I don't think anyone has answered the ambrosia salad question, so I will. Ambrosia salad is a dessert type dish that consists of pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, maraschino cherries, coconut flakes, chopped pecans, and mini colored marshmallows, all mixed together with Cool Whip. It sounds kind of weird, but is actually pretty delicious.

As always thank you for your reactions... great movie choice. Tim Burton has made so many great movies. You've already watched one of my favorites "Beetlejuice". If you haven't seen his versions of the Alice in Wonderland movies they are well worth seeing... One of the few movies I did NOT like was his remake of Willy Wonka. The original "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (1971) is a brilliant movie... it starts out a little slow but as I kid I loved once they got to the factory. Tim's version was called "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"... His version of Mr. Wonka was creepy... the original was weird but in a whimsical way.

[@worthybutter2004]

Did you ever read the book by Roald Dahl?

[@carmenmonroe7]

@@worthybutter2004 I know I wasn't asked but I have. Still I prefer Gene Wilder and the 1971 cast for the Willy Wonka movies. Even if the remake was along the book, it was still better told, better set design, better acted by the cast and adapted in the 1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Just the Factory alone is amazing. It's a wonderful tone than the one made with Johnny Depp (and I love Johnny Depp).

I rewatched this last year after not seeing it for years. And I literally was sobbing at the end. This movie is a straight up tragedy.

[@aagold76]

This film turned Depp's career around- before he was just regarded as a pin up TV star (21 Jump Street)/teen idol... this set him on path to becoming one of the biggest leading men in film history- and start of collaborations with Tim Burton for decades. If you're looking for some more horror type films for this season- maybe give Rock musical 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' a watch. If you do- keep in mind, seeing it on TV/Computer, etc. won't be as good as seeing it with a live cast in the movie theater- all the crowd participation makes the show, but it's a film you should see- Meatloaf has a song, plus with your music channel should be required viewing.

[@evabyrum3327]

❤ The older man teaching Edward how to be polite is the man that did the poem on Michael Jackson's song Thriller. His name is Vincent Price. The Avon lady (Dianne Wiest) plays on the original 1980's Lost Boys movie as the mom. Lost Boys movie is a MUST!!!!❤

What a great pick! Johnny Depp conveys more wordlessly, in moments, than a lot of actors can convey with a ten-minute monologue,

[@lisakaz35]

Defintely a breakout role for him as a gifted physical performer. So is his Buster Keaton like turn in "Benny and Joon." Depp portrays such a sweetness yet with so little dialog. Since Amber Heard had to mention this while ragging on him, I assume she was very jealous of his obvious talent.
