Liam Connolly, founder of Deadbolt, said: “Tim Burton has been a huge inspiration for film makers for over three decades and his films resonate strongly in the alternative scene to this day. Halloween is always an event where we take our themes to the next level so there’s no better time for us to celebrate Tim Burton’s works!”
