Film Friday: Edward Scissorhands

July 19, 2013 By Caroline Eubanks Leave a Comment

Fans of director Tim Burton typically name Edward Scissorhands as one of their favorite of his films. In an isolated castle on the top of a hill, an inventor creates Edward but never lives to complete his hands. Instead, Edward has scissors for hands.

A saleswoman named Peg finds him alone and brings him to live at home with her family. He doesn’t fit in but falls in love with the family’s daughter. Edward Scissorhands stars a young Johnny Depp, Winona Rider, Alan Arkin, and Anthony Michael Hall.

Filmed In: Dade City, Land O’Lakes, Lakeland, Lutz, and Wesley Chapel, Florida. Additional scenes were filmed in a studio in Los Angeles, California.
