Episode Notes

This week on Mostly Horror, we are absolutely honored to be joined by the writer of Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Addams Family, Corpse Bride, Homeward Bound, The Secret Garden, Black Beauty and more... Caroline Thompson.

Caroline is one of the quiet architects of our childhoods, a storyteller whose work shaped entire generations without ever being given or demanding the spotlight. In this conversation, she opens up about discovering her voice, meeting Tim Burton, crafting characters inspired by her animals, and the real Hollywood stories behind some of the most iconic films ever made.

It’s nostalgic, emotional, funny, and full of the kind of craft and career wisdom that only Caroline can give. If these movies meant anything to you growing up then this episode will feel like coming home...
