In Edward Scissorhands, an inventor creates Edward (Johnny Depp), a humanoid with scissors for hands. The inventor dies before he can replace the scissors with hands, leaving Edward unfinished. A kind-hearted couple (the Boggs) and their kids take Edward in, and he quickly proves to be a gentle, sensitive and gifted young man.
Edward soon falls for Kim (Winona Ryder), the Bogg’s daughter. Kim’s boyfriend, Jim (Michael Anthony Hall), is jealous and violent.
Tim Burton films such as Sleepy Hollow, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands are available to stream on a variety of platforms, but due to geoblocking, you might not find it in your location. You can get around this with a reliable VPN. We’ll show you how to stream Edward Scissorhands with ExpressVPN further down.
Where to Watch Edward Scissorhands Online
You can watch Edward Scissorhands for free with ads on the Roku Channel. Those in the U.S. can watch it on The Roku Channel’s website, but if you’re outside the U.S., you’ll have to connect to a U.S. server on a VPN to stream Edward Scissorhands there.
In addition to The Roku Channel, you can stream, buy or rent Edward Scissorhands on the following platforms.

Where to Watch Edward Scissorhands for Free
Though you can stream Edward Scissorhands for free on The Roku Channel (U.S.), we get that ads can be a pain. Fortunately, you can get an Amazon Prime Video 30-day free trial. Edward Scissorhands is available in the U.S. Amazon Prime Video library.
Amazon Prime Video content — like content on many other streaming platforms — is not the same in every country for copyright reasons. For example, if you log in to Amazon Prime Video France, you won’t find Edward Scissorhands free with a Prime subscription.
In this case, you can use a VPN to change your IP address and access the U.S. Amazon Prime Video library from outside the country. If you’re in the U.S., you can also get a free trial with AMC Plus.

The 3 Best VPNs for Watching Edward Scissorhands
If you’re new to streaming with a VPN, here are our top three recommendations. We chose these providers based on their security, speeds and consistency.
1. ExpressVPN
Pros:
- User-friendly
- Very fast
- Unbeatable security
Cons:
- Expensive
As far as we’re concerned, you can’t get a better VPN for streaming than ExpressVPN. Not only is ExpressVPN the most secure VPN, it’s also one of the fastest VPNs on the market and very easy to navigate, even for complete beginners. The app is pretty bare-bones in terms of appearance, but don’t let that fool you — this is a VPN that just works.
Consistency is key when choosing a VPN for accessing a variety of streaming services, and this is something ExpressVPN offers in abundance. Whether you want to access Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, Netflix, Max or another major service, ExpressVPN has smoothly dodged the geoblocks every time we’ve tried it.
ExpressVPN doesn’t come cheap, but there’s no denying this VPN is a powerhouse in all areas. You can find out more in our ExpressVPN review, and try out the service risk-free with its 30-day money-back guarantee.

2. NordVPN
Pros:
- Intuitive desktop interface
- Top-notch speeds
- Affordable two-year plan
Cons:
- Awkward mobile app
Top speeds are another important factor to consider when choosing a streaming VPN. NordVPN is the fastest VPN on the market, with excellent global speeds that are consistently high. This makes it a good choice for streaming, as it eliminates worries about buffering and lag. NordVPN’s desktop interface is intuitive and makes switching servers painless.
On the other hand, the world map isn’t as easy to navigate on a mobile device, especially if geography isn’t your strong suit. This is the only reason NordVPN comes second to ExpressVPN in our streaming recommendations. You can find out more about NordVPN in our NordVPN review, and try it out risk-free for 30 days.

3. Proton VPN
Pros:
- Free plan with no data caps
- Decent speeds
- Secure protocols
Cons:
- Only 3 free locations
Proton VPN is a great choice if you’re looking for a secure free VPN to couple with free streaming options like The Roku Channel or a streaming service’s free trial. There are no data caps on the free plan, meaning you can stream as much as you’d like without worrying about your data running out.
Moreover, though Proton VPN isn’t as fast as our top two recommendations, it’s plenty fast for streaming. The downside to ProtonVPN’s free plan is that only three locations have free servers — the U.S., Japan and Netherlands. If you want to access more streaming libraries and services worldwide, you’ll need a paid plan. Find out more in our full Proton VPN review.
