Chuckles & Chills Film Lecture Series: Edward Scissorhands In-Person
Join Librarian Doug Swiszcz on Wednesdays at 1 pm for this not-so-spooky Film Lecture Series featuring films that are just as likely to make you chuckle as they are to give you the chills. Each film will be preceded by a short film lecture given by Doug.
Free and open to all. Registration recommended.
October 23 – Edward Scissorhands
A scientist (Vincent Price) builds an animated human being -- the gentle Edward (Johnny Depp). The scientist dies before he can finish assembling Edward, though, leaving the young man with a freakish appearance accentuated by the scissor blades he has instead of hands. Loving suburban saleswoman Peg (Dianne Wiest) discovers Edward and takes him home, where he falls for Peg's teen daughter (Winona Ryder). However, despite his kindness and artistic talent, Edward's hands make him an outcast.
