This week we spent some time in class reading and listening about nursery rhymes, like the very famous Humpty Dumpty, or Mary, Mary, quite Contrary nursery rhymes. Then we learned that there's much more to these rhymes than one could have actually thought at first. The tradition of rhyming in English is really long and rich.
Here follows another example of nursery rhymes made into a short horror film, written, designed, and directed by Tim Burton. Vincent Malloy is a young boy who wants to be just like Vincent Price... And who's Vincent Price? Well, a famous actor from Hollywood, but most significantly the voice-over on Michael Jackson's Thriller. Who can possibly ever forget that eerie rap, huh?

Before watching it, please open the gapped transcript and try to figure out the missing ending words in each verse. You'll see it's just a piece of cake. After that, watch the video to check your guesses. Enjoy!
