Tim Burton (Director of Sweeney Todd) has made a quite a few other films where he has tried to re-create the genre by changing the films from their norms, such as; Corpse Bride (2005), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Mars Attack (1996), Edward Scissorhands (1990), Beetle Juice (1988), Frankenweenie (1984), Vincent (1982), The Nightmare before Christmas (1993), Luau (1982). All of these films were somehow changed by the imagination of Tim Burton, he has created these films by giving them different features from what people would expect them to have.

• Corpse Bride (2005) is a film where Tim Burton has created a children's horror film. The fact that it is an animation film doesn't make the film so scary enabling younger children to watch it.

• The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) is a change from other Christmas films. This film has a scary element to it (skeletons) which is unexpected, yet it turns out to be a great children's film which is shown by the use of animation.

• Frankenweenie (1984) is a film about a young boy Victor, who's pet dog Sparky (who stars in Victor's home-made monster movies) is hit by a car, Victor decides to bring him back to life the only way he knows how. But when the bolt-necked "monster" wreaks havoc and terror in the hearts of Victor's neighbours, he has to convince them (and his parents) that despite his appearance, Sparky's still the good loyal friend he's always been. Tim Burton is also re-creating this film. It will hopefully be released in 2009.

Tim Burton has created a lot of horror films but has also changed elements of them to make them watchable by children or has added a humorous side to it which kind of re-creates the horror genre itself as some of these films don't follow the normal conventions of horror.
