scissorland ground plan.jpg — Edward Scissorland

In a beautiful, grim castle overlooking a pristine pastel suburbia lives Edward, a blade-handed human created by The Inventor. After his creator’s death, Edward lurks around the castle in isolation, creating fantastic topiaries on the grounds and wishing for love and acceptance. Journey with Edward from his spooky prison to the home of his new family in a quirky idyllic neighborhood full of characters of its own. Macabre, kitschy and larger than life, Edward Scissorland will have guests wondering which is more terrifying: the lonely castle or the seemingly perfect paradise.
Guests take on the role of nosy neighbors, just dying to see the inside of the castle that looms over their town and meet the creature who lives inside.

All of Tim’s favorite clay characters come out to play in this land of the dead. The dreary backdrop of victorian London is the stage for a vivacious cast of the ever-so-alive undead. The colorful characters inhabiting this land may look spooky, but they only want one thing: to show the living a good time! The Undead have loved having mortals like Victor and Sandy Claws visit, so they opened up their world to mortal guests like you!
