Synopsis

One snowy evening, an elderly woman tells her granddaughter the story of a young man named Edward, who has scissor blades for hands. Many years earlier, Peg Boggs, a door-to-door Avon saleswoman, having no luck in her own neighborhood, drives to the decrepit Gothic mansion where Edward lives, perched on a hill overlooking Peg's stereotypically pastel suburban neighborhood.
