Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice


For as long as I can remember I have always loved the film Beetlejuice (1988). It was the second feature film to be directed by Tim Burton (which is probably why I like it so much). It is the story about a couple Barbara and Adam, who owned a beautiful country house in New England but were killed in a car crash and became trapped in their house as ghosts. Their house is then put up for sale and purchased by the Deetz, a quirky metropolitan family: the artist wife, real-estate agent husband, and Gothic daughter. Barbara and Adam attempt to scare the family out of the house by enlisting help from none other than Betelgeuse, a conniving character from the underworld but he has more than that in mind. If you have not seen this film it is definitely one to watch . . .
