"Lightning is simply electricity.." begins Mr. Ryzkruski (Martin Landau). He's a substitute teacher. They're always a little weird. Then he goes on to explain lightning, using words like "land of opportunity", "electrons" and "man".

And in the class, their sits young Victor, happily plotting to reanimate his dead dog Sparky.

From its black and white cinematography to the tiny lines on Mr. Ryzkruski's tweed suit, Tim Burton's Frankenweenie looks utterly gorgeous. Don't believe me? Watch this new Frankenweenie clip:

Frankenweenie is out in UK cinemas on Wednesday 17th October - and opens the London Film Festival on the Wednesday before. I can't wait.
