Corpse Bride
Dead woman's wedding
Corpse Bride is a 2005 stop-motion animated film directed by Tim Burton, in which a young man accidentally proposes to a dead woman while practicing his wedding vows in a forest.
The title has become shorthand for gothic-romantic aesthetics—pale skin, tattered wedding gowns, melancholy beauty: She went full Corpse Bride for Halloween.
