Edward’s scISSor hands were created and designed by Stan Winston, and were used for the film’s prosthetic hands, which were designed to look like the hands of Edward, not the other way around. The lead character, Edward, is a young man named Edward who is almost completed. Edward is shunned by those in the neighborhood except for Peg Boggs, a local door-to-door Avon saleswoman, who finds him alone and offers to take him to her home after discovering he is virtually harmless.
Edward falls inLove with Kim, despite her initial fear of him, and they marry. Edward returns to find Kim’s parents set out to find him, who asks him to hold her, but he fears he will hurt her.
