Mixtape for Kim

No Better 2 Be Safe Than Sorry:

Enjoy this Flixtape with Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands. Comprised of songs released in the 1950s and 1980s, this playlist structurally mimics a 90-minute cassette mixtape created by Edward for his beloved Kim.

To enjoy this Flixtape according to design,

  1. pause Edward Scissorhands at the moment depicted below (approximately 12:00 minutes into the film, depending on the streaming service);

  2. mute the film and disable subtitles

  3. simultaneously press play to start the playlist and press play to resume the film. You must press play on the playlist and film at the exact same moment.

Note: Once the playlist and movie are playing in sync, do not pause either at any time before the playlist concludes—or all will be lost!

Pause Edward Scissorhands at the moment shown in the image above (12:00 on Amazon Prime streaming service).
