A Night of Tim Burton

Overview

Maybe you think he's the most imaginative filmmaker working today. Perhaps you loved his early movies, but haven't been as fond as his continued collaborations with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. Either way, there's one thing everyone can agree on when it comes to Tim Burton: at his best, he's a cinematic artist.

We're pretty sure everyone can also recognise that the man behind Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood and Corpse Bride is never less than fascinating, even when films like Planet of the Apes, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland and Dark Shadows aren't quite hitting their marks. Indeed, The Brightside is paying tribute to his distinctive style as much as his movie output in their one-evening-only gothic extravaganza, aka A Night of Tim Burton.

Expect creepy flicks playing all night long, themed cocktails and free candy, plus Man vs Bear hosting a few rounds of Tim Burton trivia. And as always, expect to get dressed up for the occasion. If you've ever wanted to do your best Depp impression, here's your chance — and yes, there's prizes on offer for the best costume.
