10 Greatest Tim Burton Monsters In Movies & TV Shows, Ranked

While Tim Burton’s movies are filled with spooky supernatural beings, the director’s fondness for these characters means that his oeuvre only includes a handful of full-blown movie & TV monsters. Writer-director Tim Burton has built a career on turning the macabre and morbid into something fun and family-friendly. While there are a few darker R-rated movies in his back catalog, the majority of Burton’s work has seen the filmmaker helm comedies about witches, vampires, werewolves, talking skeletons, and even aliens. Many of Tim Burton’s best movies and shows depict characters who would usually be viewed as villains, like the sensitive title character of Edward Scissorhands or Wednesday’s gloomy leading lady, as unlikely heroes.
