I actually find it a bit heartwarming that with all the CGI tools nowadays that could easily digitally create these building additions, they've decided instead to handcraft the original sets physically in the original location. That alone gives me a bit of hype for the upcoming movie because it displays a respect and love of the original that tends to show itself in the final product.

This is really cool! The fact they are able to come back after 35 years and build the house again on the same spot is amazing. Thank you for going back to this town and sharing this.

So I’ll go ahead and speak for all of us Beetlejuice fans when I say I cannot THANK YOU enough for recording all of this!! Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! 🎉🎊

My favorite movie. Can’t wait for number 2. Gonna have to get another Beetleguise tattoo!!!

So cool you caught them in construction, I'm nerding out . Thanks, we have movie magic to look forward to.

Super exciting! It's a shame that the town/village can't stay this way as it looks so good! Can't wait for the movie!

Wow…I didn’t know BJ2 was officially on! There’s only one thing I can add. “It’s Showtime!” 👏👏👏

I'm not even a Beetlejuice fan, but this is really cool. Couldn't imagine how exciting this stuff is for long-time fans of the film. Hope the movie is as good as it can be for ya'll.

This is amazing! Throwing-it-back to 1988! 😭 Exciting.

I'm usually not excited about sequels but I can't wait for this one. The rebuilding of the set, the story about Tim Burton coming back to the town is so cool. I hope it's epic and adds to the story wonderfully.

That's so cool that they actually brought back the house. Probably nothing can surpass the original movie but I'm glad they're doing a sequel and I really can't wait to watch it. I saw your original videos and this one is awesome too

Dude, your footage is awesome and one day might be an integral part of the history of this movie franchise. Great job man

LOCATION UPDATE: The former Maitland hardware store is now a coffee shop, the former barber shop next door is now a pet store, and the new mystery building on the set that sits next to the pet shop is a clothing store.

Beetlejuice was one of the first movies I saw in theaters. I expected every movie from then on to be amazing.

Cool to see this is being done old school instead of CGI. I too wish they rebuild the hardware store to be a permanent building but they can't for liability reasons as it's just a prop. The plus side the ski company is getting the new covered bridge again which is pretty cool. Looking forward to the movie when it gets released.

uh yes this is a Sequel, and Michael Keaton is back as Beetlejuice, Tim Burton who directed the first one is of course directing the Sequel.

So good that they're returning to the same places and recreating it all. Goes to show that we tend to think of these movies as "so long ago" but in reality, they're not that long ago. They can just come back and recreat it all no problem, we tend to lament the passing of time but not much time has really passed, years aren't that long. Thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed seeing it

Interesting to hear Tim was personally supervising the Location Scouting for this place. If i was living there i would have invited the whole team for coffee and cake. Nice to see the teased sequel is actually now getting into production. Burton & Keaton are just an amazing Combo. I'm sure Tim will also somehow incorporate Johnny Depp into the sequel somehow :P I would absolutely not be surprised.

Now thats what I call MOVIE MAGIC!.. So looking forward to see this sequel!

Man, everything about the news leading up to the start of filming (cast, crew, etc) just felt too good to be true... and now we're going back to Winter River of all things 😍 I REALLY hope this film does good / is as good as it seems it's turning out to be. I absolutely love this movie.

This is amazing that they are building it exactly the same I'm not big on sequels either but man I hope they do this one Justice it looks like they are by the way they are building

OMG I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH For sharing this with us!!! ❤️ it’s showtime!

Wow, so cool to see the behind the scenes and movie sets! Loved the first one so much

I'm actually tearing up 🥺🤭 My all time favourite movie, over 30 years of joy, and its back! And the house is back! This is amazing 🤘🤩🤘

Im so excited! Hope most of the original cast is in it!!

Bro! You hit jackpot to get there whilst dressing it all up! Great video. That whole village or town whatever it is is one huge beautiful movie set. Wow awesome

So excited for Beetlejuice 2! From what I hear, it will be a sequel with a grown-up Lydia.

Awesome!!! Thank you so much for updating all of us!! Obsessed with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Michael Keaton, Helena Bonham Carter,and all those amazing people for most of my life. Didn't know about this til tonight! 🎉🎉🎉

Wow. Awesome! I had heard they were filming a new movie but had no idea they were doing some filming in Vermont again. That is great you were able to get so much footage of the town being transformed back to the same look and also have views of the house being rebuilt.

I really hope Disney has nothing to do with it.

Thank you so much for showing us the behind the scenes construction for Beetlejuice 2 movie.

The fact they are putting in all this extra tlc that could easily be added cheaply with CG really brings hope and hype to this film!!! Thanks for sharing!

So exciting! Like you, I’m not typically a fan of sequels. I fall in love with characters and story, and am always worried how they’ll be ruined. I have a lot of hopes for this one (whatever it is), but am trying to temper my expectations. Still cool to see how it’s all coming together. Thanks for documenting it!

That was cool seeing the sets going up. Thanks for hitting that site while everything was happening!

Thanks for sharing!!! So cool to see the process of the crew building out the town sets again.

Never really thought this movie would get made after hearing them talk about making it for so long, I hope it's good!

Man that brings back memories for my older mind! I appreciate the time that you took as well as the footage! Keep it up some of us find a tad bit of nostalgia in stuff just as this, thank you!

The fact is, Beetlejuice 2 is filming right now 😅 Edit: I'm not sorry I know this info from following Jenna Ortega's casting news in Beetlejuice 2. Also, WB greenlit the whole project quickly when Tim took over and bringing along Jenna to join the old cast 😎

Thank you so much for posting. This is one of our favorite movies. Looking forward to BJ2

Great video, great detail captured of all the areas you recorded. My favorite part was when you spoke of the residents, and their memories, and photos taken at the time of the original movie. Will you be doing a follow up, possibly getting some interviews of how the residents feel about Beetlejuice 2? I would really love to hear from the residents about their memories of the original, and their thoughts now on a sequel. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your time on this video. The world is ready to hear it three more times !

Totally Rad filming!! Thank you so very much for showing us!

This is awesome man. Like you, I heard of the 2nd one but had no idea they were putting facades in and rebuilding the structures but it's cool you got ahead of this immediately. Too bad about that bridge being moved again though for liability purposes.

Very neat. It’s always incredible to me how locations, set pieces, etc for certain iconic movies can basically just be left for ruin or just don’t exist at all anymore. I mean, Beetlejuice wasn’t a best picture award winner or anything, but it spawned shows at the Universal parks for decades, as well as appearances at Halloween Horror Nights, it had a Saturday morning cartoon for a few years in the early 90’s, it was one of Tim Burton’s first few films, there were toys and merchandising for it, and it’s a real cult classic. Other movies I’ve seen similar ruin like the hardware store, are the sites from What About Bob?, and the western exterior sets from Back to the Future III. I guess being so into movies, and even getting into film and television as a career myself, I think that all of these things would be perfectly preserved like a shrine. But many times they’re just left to rot. I suppose that’s Hollywood magic, but I wish more of it could be kept and preserved. But regardless, I’m excited to hear that there will be another Beetlejuice. Or at least cautiously optimistic. There sure have been a ton of bad sequels to classic films the past 10-15 years that really shouldn’t have been made in my opinion. At least the way they were done. I wish Hollywood could just come up with more brand NEW ideas like the original Beetlejuice. Today everything is a sequel, remake, comic book movie, or superhero movie. And even with those thru rehash the characters again every 4-5 years. How many Spider-Man actors have there been now? Or Batman? Or Superman? I used to be SO excited for them back in the late 80’s through the early 2000’s, even going to the first midnight screenings. But now it’s to the point where I don’t even watch most at home when I can for free.

This is FANTASTIC! Thank you for sharing this!

Thanks for the look at the construction. Looking forward to the sequel.

This is so cool. I loved that movie when I was younger and my daughters loved it and my grandkids just watched it not long ago and they loved it. Can’t wait to show this to them all. Thanks for sharing this.

Awesome!! Thanks for visiting and bringing us this video. Very cool to see! Beetlejuice is a classic. I really...REALLY...hope they don't screw this sequel up. Usually they do, but I will hold out hope since sometimes they can nail it (Top Gun Maverik).

Great Coverage you're really there. I swear I'm giggling like a kid right now how exciting. I wish I lived there. To see all this in person lol thank you for sharing I can't wait to see how Beetlejuice 2 comes out #80skid #beetlejuice2

This was so fun to see - thank you for sharing!! I'm excited for the new movie - Beetlejuice is one of my faves. 🥰🥰

This is so great! I do wish they'd repair the hardware store instead of just build a facade. It looked like the wood said coffee shop side. I remember the pics from filming the house beside the fire house had. Cool they are doing the same thing with this bridge! Thank you kindly for doing this! :😀

Love the original movie , going to be interesting to see what this is going to be like . I'm from Ct where the state " Winter River " was deemed to be in . Can remember when it came out I was trying to see where in Ct it was , but quickly found out , there is no Winter River Ct , LOL !!! The town where this is being filmed , so small New England town looking , would really love to live there !!

Can't wait to see this movie been waiting decades to watch it. See this with my family and best friend after we got out of our highschool graduation in 88.

All the construction at these locations is amazing, and after all this time. Who would have thought. 🖤

Your video was "time travel" to me. Whilst viewing it my mind was awash with reminiscing vapors of things long past. I am most envious of yourself, and others who are able to journey to these former movie sets, and explore. Again the power of being amongst the actual bits of "history", the "fuel" that has powered many a persons' lives and imagination's is to me...wonderous! Thankyou again for your efforts, and permitting me to tag along.😸😹😽

This came up in my recommended feed so glad it was. I didn't even know they are making another Beetlejuice. After looking at the cast it looks like they are bringing everyone back. I will have to add it to the movie collection! Thanks for the video, you did a great job with it.

Beetlejuice is one of the most inventive and inspired movies of all time, I'm very curious to see if Burton can go back to his younger thinking again. It feels like it can be a dud, but I'm willing to risk it this time, since it feels like the first movie can stand on its own if this one fails.

My husband grew up here. While they were filming, Geena Davis & Alec Baldwin visited the elementary school and had a little Q&A with the students about what all the commotion was about on the one day he was out sick with the chicken pox. He took me to see it exactly a year ago and we visited his grandmother's grave in the cemetery which is next to where the Deetz's house was. Coincidentally, the character credited as Little Jane was on the swim team that shared the pool with mine when we were in high school in NH. Unrelated, my Sister now lives in the neighborhood where Edward Scissorhands was filmed so these Tim Burton films occupy a weird cosmic space in my life aside from being among my favorite films.

That red covered bridge really makes that blue house pop.

I know it's probably cheaper to do it the way they do, but you'd think they could work with local contractors and the town to build permanent structures they could leave when done filming. Leave the covered bridge, revamp that hardware store, etc. They'd be able to leave the town in a better state than when they arrived.

The film is the sequel to Beetlejuice and stars Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Jenna Ortega, Monica Bellucci, and Willem Dafoe. Release date: September 6, 2024

wow!!! Michael Keaton is on a roll bringing back his iconic roles!!! Thanks for the on-site updates!

Such a fun site visit. Excited for Beetlejuice 2. Thank you!

This was really cool! Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to make and share this. Beetlejuice is one of my all-time faves and while I'm not sure it needed a sequel I love seeing this behind the scenes for it.

I"m looking forward to seeing the second instalment of Beetlejuice!

Love this house the Maitlands are amazing people

Reminds me of the excitement I felt when the first set dressings went up for Burton's Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.

It's so great how places like this don't really change much over the course of 35 years.

This was awesome to see! Thanks for your work & sharing this. I love location videos 😊. I can’t wait to see the new movie. It seems like it’s possibly going to be a remake

This is amazing news! Thank you so much for going out there again and filming this. I was hoping and hoping the rumours were true and this has just made my day. Awesome, thank you.

What a stunning beautiful location and especially on a nice sunny day thanks for posting this really appreciate it .

I'm a big fan of Beetlejuice and im so happy they're doing a part 2

Saw the original countless times in the theater. Hoping the sequel is just as strong 🤞

OMG!!!! I loved this movie when i was a kid!!! I was 5 when the first one came out!! I'm so excited!!!

Very cool! Thank you for taking the time and effort to go out there and document all this!

OMG..brooooo… AMAZING. I’m speechless lol.

INCREDIBLE 😊 absolutely loved how the put the facade of the building on the front Amazing how a movie can reconstruct an entire town. Great job on this

Thank you for posting, fascinating, this makes me so much more excited. I have so much hope for this to be good.

Thank you for sharing this. I wasn't aware they were making another movie. Can't wait!

when this is completed, it has to be as excellent as the first movie from all the time taken to make sure everything looks exactly as it did 30 years ago.

I want to go there and visit! I hope they leave it like that after the movie is made, specially the house. Maybe this time, they can build an official BJ museum in that town. That'd be awesome!!

😂😂😂 this is so awsome! Even if it wasn't livable, I would have never tore it down. Thanks for sharing this

I would so live in this town. Its so nostalgic and cozy at the same time. I'm having high hopes for the sequel, i think it'll be good. Thank you so much for this! 🖤🤍🖤

Amazing how you have on set photos of the original film to compare. Reading the comments, I’m in agreement with many that I usually don’t have high expectations for sequels, but I am definitely excited for this one. I’m wondering what the black veil over the Deetz house is for. Many have said it is for protection, but I noticed they filmed a scene in front of the house and the veil was still there. It almost reminds me of Lydia’s veil in the original movie that she wears over her hat.

Freaking awesome 👌 i cant wait and they using original sets

I'm not generally enthused with most attempts at legacy sequel cash grabs, but going to these lengths just for sake of authenticity is some true dedication.

I’m glad they’re reusing the original sets and giving them new life. They’ve looked so run down before but I’m glad they’re being reused. Unfortunately I’ve heard the hardware store is structurally unstable which is why it’s looked so run down and they had to build a facade over it.

Fantastic work, thank you for sharing 😊.

Its a shame in a way that they dont just repair the old hardware shop rather then do a spec building, that way the locals get a prettier looking town after and a new generation of people can see the original building for another few decades or more. Currently it looks like the hardware store behind the spec building will collapse soon without restoration. They could also donate the old filmsets (Main House) to the town should they want to keep them as a tourist attraction.

Great video thank you for sharing this.. it's great to see how they are changing things in that town and to see the before and after shots thank you again...

Awesome! Can’t wait to see Keaton back

This popped up in my rec. list glad it did. Very well done thank you for your effort💪🏼. That is a beautiful area the entire place looks like a movie set in itself from a bygone era. Cast looks solid and I have faith Burton will focus on the story and not attempt to wreck the movie ala Disney. IE Beetlejuice will not be a broken down loser like Luke, Hans and Indy

Beetlejuice two, starring Lori Lightfoot.

Wow thank you for sharing and going back to film all of this, love behind the scenes, sorry for not subscribing earlier but you got me now!!!

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing. I'll be through that region next week and it's a definite detour now.

I heard Lori Lightfoot is going to play Beetlejuice

I sincerely love the original. It's a part of my childhood. It's a part of me. It's burned deep into my brain. It's a real shame what Alec Baldwin became later in life.

Nice coverage.. Thanks for sharing that!

Excited for the sequel which will be all black cast of teen lesbians and drag queens.

As long as they don't ruin something else from my childhood. Hollywood is really good at revisiting great movies and turning them into a ruined franchise and they are terrible at new ideas. I hope its good I expect it will be crap
