Tim Burton likes to bring a touch of Halloween to the holiday season – the director always decorates his Christmas tree with fake dead babies and slime balls.

Horror fan Burton’s partner Helena Bonham Carter, who is pregnant with the couple’s second child, admits Christmas in their London home is a macabre experience.

She tells Playboy magazine, “It looks lovely and glittery from afar, and then as you get closer, you realize it’s rather gory.”
