What Is ‘Beetlejuice’ About?
Beetlejuiceis an oddball, one-of-a-kind, horror-comedy that follows a young couple after they were tragically killed in a car accident. When they return to their old-fashioned New England home, they don’t realize they’re dead at first, but once they find the Book For the Recently Deceased, their new horrific reality becomes clear. It becomes even worse when theDeetz familymoves into their house, and they have to learn to use their new ghostly abilities to scare them off. When that doesn’t work, they turn to a freelance Bio-Exorcist named Beetlejuice who only exacerbates the problem even further.
One reasonBeetlejuicehas stood the test of time is its stunning practical effects, which let Burton’s gothic mind run wild. Pair that with Keaton’s legendary performance as the hilariouslyunhinged title character, and you have a fresh genre offering even by today’s standards. Unlike most franchise sequels that were released long after their original release,Beetlejuice Beetlejuiceappears to have retained the old-school charm that made the first film a genre classic.The trailershave shown off thestop-motion effectsin all their glory, as this return toBeetlejuiceseems to be a great labor of love from all involved.
