    The guy behind Coraline, Nightmare Before Christmas, Kubo & the Two Strings, Boxtrolls and Paranorman returns with a new feature for Netflix.

    Never any mistaking his style for anything else, such a gothic bedfellow to early Tim Burton. Film arrives October 28.

    That looks really good! Netflix is lining up some really promising options for this Halloween.

    (Side note - I still don't understand how Kubo & The Two Strings didn't do absolute gangbusters at the box office. But that's a conversation for somewhere else, I suppose...)

    I realise I've got my directors all mixed up; Selick didn't direct any of those I listed excepted Nightmare and Coraline. Man, it's a long day, my brain's shot.

    Though yeah I agree about Kubo 100%, its failure at the box office was a deep shame.

    Full trailer released; looks ... kinda bonkers. Love the look of it.

    Really enjoyed this. A great mix that was a kind of goofy, playful macabre that didn't shy from the ghoulish nature of its undead characters. Lots of child-friendly gallows humour. Not Selick's best but a good reminder how offbeat and smart American animation can be when it tries - or is allowed to try.

    Was a bit of a mess though, with about a dozen ideas thrown in the air and many either got short shrift or just kinda fizzled but there was so much charm and good energy in the thing I had too much fun to mind too much.

    Also, the true villain being

    Private Prisons

    was a laugh.
