Scissorhands climaxes much like James Whale's Frankenstein and Burton's own Frankenweenie. A mob confronts the "evil creature", in this case, Edward, at his castle.

The book can be seen as a true story with a real monster who murdered Victor Frankenstein’s family for the monster’s want for revenge.
