Narrative
The spirits of a deceased couple are being harassed by an obnoxious family who have moved into their house and hire a malevolent spirit to drive them away. This is his favorite Michael Keaton movie. Otho’s shoes when he spray paints the walls of the house change from red fireman’s leprechaun shoes to white shoes as he walks through the bathroom and then change back to red leprechaun shoes as he enters the next room. Adam: What are your qualifications? Beetlejuice: Ah. Well… I’m a Harvard Business School graduate.
I travel quite a bit
I lived through the Black Death and had a pretty good time doing it. I’ve seen The Exorcist about a hundred and sixty-seven times and it gets funnier every time I see it… not to mention the fact that you’re talking to a DEAD… NOW WHAT DO YOU DO Think? Do You Think I’m Qualified? The Geffen logo is accompanied by a macabre version of the song Banana Boat (sung by the film’s composer Danny Elfman). A print of the film has emerged with several added/alternate scenes.
Instead of a desert, he sees empty darkness filled with rolling tires
This version of the film is about 2 minutes shorter than the theatrical release, has a few extra scenes and others missing, is in black and white, and has a timecode at the bottom. This version has 4 major differences: Alternate Scene: The scene where Adam tries to leave the house after his and his wife’s deaths is different. Additional Scenes: There is an additional scene where Lydia develops the photos she took of Adam and Barbra. Then, after her mother yells at her and blames her for cutting holes in the bedsheet, Lydia runs upstairs and tries to convince her father that the photos are real. There is more to the scene where the adults are searching for ghosts in the attic where we see the desert monster trying to eat Adam and Barbra while they are hanging from the attic window. Finally, there is an additional 2-minute scene at the end where we see Lydia riding her bike home from school and her parents talking to Jane on the phone telling her they don’t want to sell the house. Lydia’s dance scene is shorter in this version and there is no scene with Beetlejuice in the waiting room.

The film ends with a final exterior shot of the house. Day-OTtraditional, lyrics by William A. Attaway and Irving Burgie [incorrectly credited as written by William A. Attaway & Irving Burgie (as Lord Burgess)] Performed by Harry Belafonte, courtesy of RCA Records. This is a great movie to watch and just enjoy – you don’t have to think or analyze – just enjoy the silliness and cool factor of this beautiful film. A young couple living in their dream home (Alec Baldwin and Gina Davis) are accidentally murdered and then live as ghosts in the house. Some time later, a family of weirdos (Jeffery Jones, Catherine O’Hara) and their disgruntled daughter (Winona Ryder) move in – much to the ghosts’ chagrin.
The dead couple is trying to scare the family
That’s because instead of respecting the charm of the wonderful home, the parents want to turn it into a pseudo-intellectual freak house. However, Winona can see and communicate with the ghosts, but her parents can’t believe that they exist or that they’re doing anything wrong with the house. , but their attempts are really lame (and funny) and that only makes the freaks want to stay even longer! So, out of desperation, they seek out the most evil and obnoxious ghost, Beetle Juice (Michael Keaton) to help them. The problem is, while Beetle Juice is capable of scaring anyone, he’s also a total maniac and, once unleashed, is surprisingly hard to stop. The film abounds with many of the things you’d expect to see in a Tim Burton-directed film – wacky special effects, a weird setting (after the freaks transform the house), fun, and a definite “cool factor.” The actors do a good job too.
