Is The Corpse Bride Woman Real?

In the 1930s, police officers found the body of Elena de Hoyos in Carl Tanzler’s home. He was preserving her body like a life-sized doll and sleeping next to it every day. The Corpse Bride, a 2005 stop-motion animated musical fantasy film directed by Mike Johnson and Tim Burton, is based on an anti-Semitic Russian folktale about real eighteenth-century riots where Russian nationalists murdered thousands of Jewish citizens, burning their homes, stealing their possessions, and raping women.

The film follows Emily, a resurrected bride in a wedding gown, who takes Victor to the afterlife. The story has been influenced by history, film, and folklore, with real-life incidents adding fuel to its popularity. In 1875, a young woman named Eliza Barrow died before her wedding day and was buried in her bridal gown. Her grave became a popular tourist attraction, with visitors claiming to see her ghostly figure.
