Whether you're based in London or the US, chances are Academy Award-winning director Tim Burton's freakish characters will be in close proximity this fall — so long as you are keen to keep an eye out for their ghostly appearances, that is.
From The World of Tim Burton, the Design Museum's just-opened retrospective dedicated to the filmmaker's mind-bending career — on view at the institution through April 21, and one of the best design exhibitions in London — to an Airbnb-hosted tour of a striking reproduction of the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice haunted mansion, the iconic set of the sequel to his 1988 horror comedy of the (well, almost) same title; and the dramatically illuminated, spectral characters currently dwelling in the lush flowerbeds of the New York Botanical Garden as part of the director's The Nightmare Before Christmas Light Trail (through November 30), his frighteningly amusing visions are infesting some of the world's capitals, and right on time for Halloween. So what is there to know about these Burtonesque, immersive experiences, and where can you book your tickets?
