Monstober is here! You can celebrate the beginning of the monster month with brand new “vintage” posters for “Frankenweenie.” Check them out below the post!

“Frankenweenie,” a stop-motion animated film created by Tim Burton, tells the story of a boy who longs to get his best friend–his dog–back:

“From creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” The Nightmare Before Christmas”) comes “Frankenweenie,” a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous.”

“Frankenweenie,” filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, stars Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Robert Capron, Conchata Ferrell and Winona Ryder. The film comes to theaters this week–Friday, October 5, 2012.
