4. Emily

Played by: Helena Bonham Carter

Appeared in: Corpse Bride (2005)

When the awkward husband-to-be Victor practises his vows on a twig, he gets more than he bargained for when he discovers he€™s just married himself to a corpse. Her name's Emily, a woman whose own wedding was robbed from her by an untimely death, so had vowed to wait for someone to ask for her hand once again. With her recognisably Burtonesque appearance and personality, Emily is a quirky, lovable character who€™s markedly one of the director€™s most successful original characters.
