Northwestern University is set to unveil a collection of death related goodies courtesy of noted horror novelist and screen writer Michael McEachern McDowell.
McDowell wrote dozens of novels and the screenplays for Stephen King’s novel “Thinner” and director Tim Burton’s movies “Beetlejuice” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” He also wrote episodes for such television shows as “Tales from the Darkside” and “Alfred Hitchcock Presents.”
Needless to say McDowell was very qualified for such an undertaking.
The collection is comprised of 76 boxes of material featuring everything from books and photos to coffins and death pins.
What a way to celebrate the Day of the Dead!
