I read about the concept behind the movie on imdb.
The legend of the corpse bride began as a nighttime horror story in 19th century Russia. At the time, anti-Semitism was rampant, and Jewish girls would often be ambushed and murdered on their way to the wedding chapel in order to prevent them from bearing any future generations. Because of the Jewish tradition of being buried with the clothes one died in, these girls would invariably be laid to rest wearing their blood-splattered bridal gowns.
Leave it to Tim Burton to make something cute out of something horrible. This makes me wish someone would make a horror movie out of that, too.
