Now comes word that the short film that really MADE Tim Burton, his gothic comic horror Vincent , narrated by Vincent Price (Burton's muse) will be rendered into a 3-D short to be shown in front of Nightmare .
It's one of the great stop-motion animated shorts, Burton's great calling card and a lovely way to remember the great Vincent Price.
