Are you unwilling to relinquish the unconditional love of a deceased pet but savvy enough to know there is no “nice farm upstate?”
Why not take a page from ol’ Victor Von and try giving your dearly departed a little jolt? That irreplaceable little scamp will be back up and running in no time.
Any unintended consequences are, however, not the responsibility of The Senate Theater and are, in fact, simply the plot of Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie. This beautifully animated stop-motion gem features the vocal talents of Martin Short and Catherine O’Hara. It is a playful retelling of Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein and an affectionate satire of the 1931 film adaptation starring Boris Karlof, replacing Karlof’s lumbering monster with a bull terrier named Sparky.
But it’s also an expansion of its director's breakout short film of the same name, 1984’s Frankenweenie, featuring Shelley Duvall and Daniel Stern. And no this isn’t a case of re-animation. The original is all live-action, and we’re screening it before the feature.
Parking is available in our gated lot, on Gilbert, and Michigan Avenue
