Forbidden Zone is amazing. Honestly addicting. My copy was nabbed by a jealous friend.

And, not to be rude, but I think “Weird Science” might have been a bigger hit than “Dead Man’s Party”. Movie theme, no?

You mentioned Danny Elfman and The Knights of Oingo Boingo, but no mention of “The Forbidden Zone”? Just watch the trailer and you’ll see why Burton wanted to work him.
I think it’s interesting to note that one of the only Burton films Elfman didn’t score was for “Ed Wood”. Given that Elfman credits Bernard Herrmann’s score for “The Day the Earth Stood Still” as a primary catalyst for his career in music, one would think he would jump at the chance to score something so wonderfully retro as “Ed Wood”.
But, alas, that job went to Howard Shore (who’s genius collaboration with Ornette Coleman on the “Naked Lunch” soundtrack still gives me chills), as Elfman was busy with the no doubt daunting task of scoring “Black Beauty”.
Elfman would get his chance to nod at Herrmann with his score for “Mars Attacks” two years later.
Great article, sir. Keep them coming.

Does anyone remember Johny Depp from 21 Jump Street? He was a teen heartthrob at that point. He was on with the DeLuise kid who now plays the dad on Wizards of Waverly place on the Disney Channel. Holly Robinson, daughter of the guy on Sesame Street, was also on the show and married a football player named Peete and still acts in various projects.
