Beetlejuice is a 1988 American fantasy horror comedy film directed by Tim Burton, written by Michael McDowell and Warren Skaaren, produced by The Geffen Company, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, and starring Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O'Hara, Winona Ryder, and Michael Keaton as the titular character. The plot revolves around a recently deceased couple who, as ghosts haunting their former home, contact Betelgeuse (pronounced and occasionally spelled Beetlejuice in the film), an obnoxious and devious "bio-exorcist" from the Netherworld, to scare away the house's new inhabitants.

I feel like Burton describing Keaton as Beetlejuice as "having lived in every time period but no time period.”, is probably the best way to describe Beetlejuice to someone who's never seen it before and wants to know at least something before they watch the film

I love how Keaton even came up with Betelgeuse’s look himself, just showing up to set one day fully made up in character with everyone cheering him on. Mossy clothes, moldy face, and looking as though he had “jammed his thumb in a light socket” were all Keaton’s ideas!

Another awesome fact about this film is: When Beetlejuice was screened for a test audience, they responded so positively to the Keaton’s Betelgeuse that Burton’s team went back to create an upbeat epilogue for the character. An earlier draft had Betelgeuse plagued by sandworms in the Maitlands’ model town.

@animeknight8958 Жыл бұрын

here's four more facts about the film. 1. It was original meant to be a full-blown horror film with Sammy Davis Jr as Beetlejuice. 2. In the original ending, Lydia stays with Barb and Adam and lives in the model with them. 3. When Adam left the house and found himself on Saturn, the original idea was that it was a dark room with giant gears. 4. After Adam and Barb hide themselves outside the window, it was supposed to show them in Saturn and nearly attacked by the sandworm.

When it comes to the question as to why the Maitlands look normal and not like ghouls, I view it as they're pure of spirit. The afterlife receptionist even said it's all very personal. The only reason they're not soaking wet(other than when they got home) is because even though they left the house, in spirit they are stuck in the same place. Especially with how much they hate what the changes Delia made to the house.

@@_Zephster that's another way of looking at it. I more so was talking about how the other ghost show the signs of the what happened to them and how in the Maitlands case, in spirit they never left the house. It also depends on the person and how they lived. Beetlejuice looks rotten because he is, same with the afterlife workers, it also serves as a slight punishment since afterlife workers committed suicide("if i knew then, what i know now, I wouldn't have had my little accident.").

According to Michael Keaton, the Beetlejuice character was described to him by director Tim Burton as "having lived in every time period but no time period." Keaton used this as the jumping-off point to create the character with such features as a shock hairdo, mold make-up, and large teeth. He said that when he first showed up to the set as Beetlejuice, the crew was chanting: "Juice, Juice, Juice!" This got Keaton excited for his role.

Tim Burton is a master at putting horror on the razor thin edge of kid and adult without going too far. He's found that wacky crazy balance that just makes him a genius in the genre. Truth is, kids like dark humor just as much as adults, I mean, how many kids do you know that DIDN'T bite the head off an animal cracker and laugh or make a joke about it? For me, not one, every kid I have ever met has done that at least once.

To quote late great Norm Macdonald and something i'm sure Beetlejuice will think a lot about is "I don't have any ego about it, but I find there's not a great work ethic in show business.

This movie was basically my Batman '89, and by that I mean this was the movie I felt like I was much older and mature to watch despite being 6 or 7. I knew it was dark, but cool. Even while something like Dora was on TV, I would get pissed and pop the VHS of Beetlejuice on instead. And the one I had was the "family cut" from the late 90s, I didn't get to hear the infamous "Nice fucking model!" line until I was a teenager and was shocked it was in the film. I thought it was a blooper. It would be cooler to also watch it on an October night because this was my Halloween movie I would watch besides Casper, James and the Giant Peach or Nightmare Before Christmas. I definitely feel like a sequel isn't needed, I thought the TV show was the true sequel and I really wanna watch the musical because I heard so much stuff and heard some of the songs.

Agreed, a sequel Is Unneeded. They really really need to stop messing with classic movies and leave them alone and let them be the classics they are. I would be willing to bet anything that if they did do a sequel (even with Michael Keaton) that it would SUCK BIG TIME. As most sequels do! They already made that mistake with so many other classic movies… Dumb and Dumber was another one. The original will always forever be one of the greatest comedies of all time, it helped put Jim Carrey on the map and made him a huge star. But they mistakenly made a sequel 20 years later in 2014 and it was a DISASTER! It was a complete slap in the face to the original 1994 film. Jim Carrey said that it was solely for the fans, but it was terrible. It never should’ve been made. So yes, I agree a Beetlejuice sequel would be totally unnecessary

Always appreciated 2 factors of foreshadowing in this film, one obvious and the other more apparent with the passage of time. 1) The small ornament adorning Beetlejuice's carousel hat is Jack Skellington, who we would officially meet several years later in THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. 2) A more sadder aspect that is pretty much eye of the beholder territory. When the Maitlands encounter the room of lost souls, the events of 9/11 made me see the film in a different light. Granted, this film wasn't predicting the Twin Towers being destroyed. Just the idea that a person being obliterated in such a senseless act, and having their soul being in limbo is a creepy concept. Seeing the lost souls constantly rising, in future viewings, made me think of that sad day. To know that Tim Burton had this visual sense of the hereafter, albeit fictitious, always amazed me as I got older.

When Tim Burton worked for Disney, they should of let him Direct the Black Cauldron. Then it may of actually of been decent. I also agree that physical effects like stop motion, miniatures, animatronics and puppetry always look far more creepy and inventive rather than CGI. It is literally about the way it moves. always looks far creepier. Love your work Critic, especially the animation related reviews.

My mom had made chicken and potatoes for supper and she had rented us a couple of movies from the movie store..(yes I am old enough to remember VHS being the way you watched movies) And we watched ET which we had both seen before and Beetlejuice for the first time and we both loved this movie.

Three things not mentioned: FIRST-There were many outtakes and alternate ideas never used that were brought up in Cinefex. Some of those scenes can still be seen as workproofs on YT. One concept was everytime the Maitlands attempted to leave their designated haunting perimeter that found themselves in another hostile limbo: one was a dark dimension of giant menacing clockwork gears roaring around, one was the sandworm planet (Saturn), and the scenes of them hanging out the window had them dangling over a devil's cauldron with an early prototype of the cackling stop-animation devil used in Nightmare before Christmas (and a nod to one of the nightmare scenes from Pee Wee's Big Adventure)-which was later scrapped to them dangling over a snapping sandworm (again, workproof available on YT), and then that one scrapped altogether. There is another scene of Delia angrily coming after Lydia (again, workproof available here on YT) for assuming she cut holes in her good sheets. SECOND-The concept of traditional minded ghosts trying to evict their gaudy new "guests" was preceded by an Amazing Stories episode called Boo! directed by Joe Dante with Robert Picardo in it. THIRD-Amazed that when Doug mentioned the "straight couple" premise, he did not mention a film that came out 13 years earlier about a straight couple landed into a rollercoaster ride of neon-ish nightmarish perversity...Rocky Horror Picture Show.
