Both Tim Burton and Edgar Allan Poe wrote about death, tormented heroes, and hopeless love. The horror aesthetic of Poe’s stories is found in most of Burton’s movies. The use of stop motion in black and white highlights the contrast between light and darkness. Burton uses sounds such as an organ, thunder, and a somber soundtrack that enhance the horror setting. Visual details like skeletons, black cats, bats, and spiders strengthen the horror aesthetic.

Burton has said that as a child he used to escape from his reality by reading the horror books of Edgar Allan Poe and watching horror movies inspired on them.

Interestingly, Burton´s first movie, Vincent (1982), was a stop motion animation full of references to "The Raven", Poe´s most famous poem.

Vincent Malloy is a 7-year-old-boy obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe, his favorite author, and with Vincent Price, the actor whose characters Vincent wants to be like. Notably, Vincent Price is also the narrator of the short movie and was famous for his work in horror movies, many of which had been adapted from Poe’s stories. Vincent confuses his reality with Poe´s stories. For example, he believes his house is a big castle where he can perform experiments such as transforming his dog into a zombie and his aunt into a doll. Vincent´s last words at the end of the movie are an exact quotation from "The Raven". In addition to the direct mention of Poe and his work, Poe’s influence can also be seen in the poetic format of the movie.

Furthermore, both the movie and the poem have themes like delusion, love, beauty, the supernatural, and death. In the movie, Vincent goes insane as he starts to believe that his wife was buried alive, while in the poem, there´s a supernatural setting, and a man is being disturbed both psychologically and emotionally by a raven about the death of the woman he loved.
