The script still needed a little bit of work, but Tim Burton once again succeeds in creating a wholly new an imaginative world that normal people only visit to in their dreams! A cheery Avon Lady played by Diane Wiest journeys to an abandon mansion to make a sale only to find that a strange man with scissors for hands resides there. Being a nice lady, she brings this stranger to her house attempting to convert him to society. It's worth seeing; the set is absolutely sense-tickling!
