“I've always liked monster movies and I've always been fascinated by - again, growing up in a culture where death was looked upon as a dark subject and living so close to Mexico where you see the Day of the Dead with the skeletons and it's all humor and music and dancing and a celebration of life in a way. That always felt more of a positive approach to things. I think I always responded to that more than this dark, unspoken cloud in the environment I grew up in.” ThinkingWayCultureFeltDarkGrowing UpEnvironmentGrowingSubjectsGrewApproachGrew UpDancingCloudsMonstersFascinatedCelebrationMexicoUnspokenSkeletonsCelebration Of LifeMonster MovieDay Of The Dead Author:Tim Burton
