Burton-esque
Film, TV or games with similar style to Tim Burtons half-abstract and sometimes gothic art style.
Visual markers of the Burtonesque style: Environments tends to be crooked and angular and characters tend to have deformed and exaggerated bodies. Surface imperfections and unflattering details also tend to be exaggerated, making the style pretty grungy with lots of high contrast.
This list also includes some of Tim Burton films.
