The EDWARD SCISSORHANDS House in Florida Has Been Turned Into a Museum For The Film
Remember that bright and vibrant suburb that we saw in Tim Burton’s classic film Edward Scissorhands? Well, a lot has changed in that area since the movie was made. When I was in Florida a few years ago I took some time to go check out that little area, and boy oh boy… it sure had changed! It was unrecognizable. There were a few homes that kept the bright pastel paint jobs from the film, but for the most part the trees have all grown, and it’s unrecognizable now.
Well, since the time that I went there, the main Edward Scissorhands house on the block has gotten some new owners and they turned the house into a museum for the film. The current residents are Joey and Sharon Licalzi, and they bought the house in 2020 for $230,000 outside of Tampa, Florida.
They call the house museum Scissorland and it’s 100% free for fans to visit if they are in the area. The owners of the house are trying to collect memorabilia from the film, and have managed to put together a great collection of collectibles, including an Edward Scissorhands t-shirt that was given as a gift to everyone in the neighborhood after filming wrapped.
Licalzi said in an interview with WFLA, "People cry. Well, I mean our FedEx guy cried in the garden. We've had a father and a daughter [shaking] in the kitchen. I'm telling you, it's really bizarre."
If you want to visit the house all you have to do is message the homeowners on Instagram to book an appointment.
Below you’ll find some images from when I visited, images from the movie, and some of the Instagram posts from the museum.
