This is simple the best score for a Tim Burton movie!
Too bad he didn't call him again...

It is a marvelous score to what is probably still Burton's best film. The main title is incredibly effective in setting up the milieu, and the score really treads the line between being a playful homage to the scores it's parodying, and something with genuine pathos.
Also worth noting is that famed organist/pianist, and early television mainstay Korla Pandit (who also was an early purveyor of exotica - and has a riveting life story) appears as the organist at Ed's party.

YOR agrees with you.
Many Tim Burton's movies could end being a lot better if they have better scores...

Burton's best movie. Shore's best score.

This is the only Tim Burton film Danny Elfman did not score. Did they have a falling out or was is a scheduling problem? One of my favorite scores.
Wrong. The original Frankenweenie was scored by Michael Convertino and David Newman. And that`s a gorgeous score indeed. Very lush, grand and sad. I was hoping that Intrada would release the new Frankenweenie in cooperation with Disney and put the Newman/Convertino score on the cd as well. But unfortunately that didn`t happen

Although I knew in advance of seeing ED WOOD something of what the subject matter would be, I think Shore's main title did a great job of priming me for a not-unsympathetic, somewhat humorous telling of the Ed wood story that was going to strive to capture as accurately as possible both the schlockiness of the man and his work, and the feel of the times and places in which Wood operated. After all of the dense, atmospheric sorts of things I was hearing from Shore at the time, this score surprised me with its warmth and humor, and was my first inkling that perhaps there was more to Shore than I had assumed.
I thought Johnny Depp was brilliant in this film, as I have thought about many of his performances. He is a tremendously talented natural actor, a guy who, like Robert Mitchum in a different era, just sort of strolled in, untrained, and had it all. I love just about everything about ED WOOD, which for me is the pinnacle of the Burton-Depp collaboration.

Yavar wonders what Yor has against such excellent Danny Elfman scores as Alice in Wonderland (film definitely far inferior to score), Sleepy Hollow (ditto...score added a lot), Batman (they originally wanted Prince to score it!), Batman Returns (actually much better and more developed than its predecessor as revealed by LLL's excellent complete release), Planet of the Apes (awful film with any score, excellent score though not a patch on Goldsmith's of course), and especially The Nightmare Before Christmas (yes, Burton did not direct but you must admit Elfman composed a masterpiece!)
Yavar (who loves Ed Wood and Howard Shore too)

YOR does not like Elfman at all.
Except for "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Midnight Run".
