It's crazy when you think about it, that the person whose playing Beetlejuice is the same person who played Batman in 1989. That just shows how talented Michael Keaton is.

Catherine O'Hara screaming "I will go insane and I will take you with me!...'K?" was hilarious. She has incredible comedic skills.

Lydia Deetz isn't just "a" goth, she's THE goth.

This movie is so hilarious and scary at the same time, and Michael Keaton is an absolute riot as Beetlejuice.

The thing I really grew up with was the Beetlejuice animated series, where he's... pretty much infinitely less of a villain, and much more of a friendly mischief-maker, who Lydia actively spends time with, both on Earth and in the afterworld. I was watching that long before I saw the movie.

Winona Ryder is so cute in this... for us teens in the late 80's, this was our first introduction to a goth girl. ("Woah... who is THAT? I'm in love!") David Harbour admitted in an interview that with this film and Heathers he had a massive high school crush on her.

The wildest thing to come out of Beetlejuice was the cartoon spin-off, where Beetlejuice and Lydia are friends 😬 Not sure who watched this movie and thought 'Let's make this creeper villain the hero of a children's cartoon!'

There's an animated series of Beetlejuice where he and Lydia are best friends. It's wild 😁

Back in the 80s my kids were terrorized by Thriller (Michael Jackson). Just the first few chords would send them running through the house. 🙂

I swear Winona Ryder made all us teens into journalers with her doing oral diaries in so many movies. Heathers was the most but here she is journaling away again (or first, not sure what movie came first but you get my point).

“Nice f*cking model! *honk honk*” 😂😂 always been my favorite part! Can never not bust a gut at that.

No, you're right. When I see older actors from that era, the idea that these people are gone pops in my mind too.

Geena Davis's best role in my opinion is in The Long Kiss Goodnight with Samuel L. Jackson. Underrated great movie. Another good movie she's in that most people have forgotten is Quick Change with Bill Murray.

For an emo kid, this was a childhood classic. In 2020 I saw it in theaters and almost 🥺. Because it just embraces and is pro being weird. So excited for the sequel

Dude, you could totally pull off a Lydia costume for Halloween.

Danny Elfman did the amazing score/soundtrack to this movie and Michael Keaton is just superb in this, literally one of his career highlights. Can’t wait for the sequel

Seeing Winona Ryder in beatle juice, and seeing her now as Joyce Byers in stranger things is crazy. Like she's so young in beatle juice and in stranger things she's a single parent, trying to raise to boys while helping to save the world.

14:39- Third favorite part. Dinner dance scene. 21:38- Aww yeah, showtime! 21:47- My second favorite part. Carnival of Death scene. 24:27- My favorite part. The end credits dance.

Catherine O'Hara is a treasure.

I LOVED Beetlejuice as a child, the soundtrack of this movie was BOMB. Also the reason why i had a crush on Winona Ryder as a kid c':

I saw the Beetlejuice musical a few weeks ago. It was such a blast

I was about 11 or 12 when this came out, and I remember having the biggest crush on Winona Ryder as Lydia, she's still a pretty lady today. Also, I remember really liking the 80s cartoon of this.

The 90's Beetlejuice cartoon was amazing.

Few road trips ago on our New England trip, i planned a detour through the town used in this movie. I surprised my wife by having the cd player timed so it was playing the theme just as we were pulling into town. Saw the buildings used for the hardware store and girls school, the uncovered bridge that was covered for the movie as well as the hill where the house was built for external shots.

I was lucky enough to watch this as a kid back in the late 80s. So many fun ideas and creative visuals. I've had a thing for goth girls every since!

You've got to watch the Beetlejuice cartoon it is in a alternate reality where he is a good guy very enjoyable show and the art and animation of it beautiful.

What a gem of a movie, it’ll go down as a classic. Truly unique and different, quirky, scary & funny, it has it all. What happened to creativity like that.

I remember seeing this in the theater. It's still one of my favorites. Michael Keaton did so well in this movie that the character of Beetlejuice took on a whole life of its own.

Great reaction! If you want to watch another Geena Davis film. I would recommend The Long Kiss Goodnight with Samuel L Jackson. Also she stars in A League of Their Own with Tom Hanks! Both really good films in my opinion!

Betelgeuse is the actual spelling, after the star, but they figured it would market better spelled the other way Apparently the shooting script had Juno give a bit more info on Beetlejuice. He was “demoted to a Grade-6 malevolent spirit.” So him not being able to say his own name may be part of that. I remember hearing somewhere that it’s a real life myth of spirits not being able to repeat or remember their names, something like that. Otho was unintentionally exorcising Adam and Barbara. You can tell because they look like the souls in the room of lost souls

My mom showed this to me at three years old and I was absolutley obsessed. A great movie for someone who wants to delve into horror but still be able to take it lightly. Glad you enjoyed the film. Funny enough there is finally a 2nd film in production!

It's hard to believe Allen didn't get an "A" in math because it takes a lot of it to build a scale model of a town.

Fun fact: Bill Murray, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, Jack Nicholson, Robert DeNiro, and Christopher Lloyd were all considered to play Beetlejuice. Nicholson ended up being cast as Joker in Batman which was also directed by Tim Burton.

One of my favorite classic horror comedies ❤😊

I have never been more terrified in my life than as a kid watching this movie. Specifically, the dinner scene where they're possessed to sing "Banana Boat (Dayo)". I was probably around 4 years old as well. I had no problem with the rest of the movie, but I went into bawling hysterics and had to hide during that scene, and that association with the song meant I couldn't hear it at all without getting terrified for at least 10 years. I'm fine now and adore this movie, but how much that scene terrified me means that literally nothing has ever come close to scaring me since.

Your cat has the Beetlejuice attitude just facing away from the camera!

I was fifteen when this came out and it was right in my wheelhouse. Brilliant, hilarious, dark, and weird as hell. It also began my never-ending crush on Winona Ryder. 😍

Beetlejuice is actually my #1 all time favorite Michael Keaton performance.

I was in Australia about 20 years ago and the only person who got freaked out by a spider was our (Aussie) host. haha. He put a sock on, found that a spider had made it's home in it and totally flipped out. We Yanks had to shoo it out of the house because he wanted nothing to do with it😄

Saying something 3 times shows intent and puts your will into it, and separates it from being something accidentally said

Awesome that you finally watched Beetlejuice after many past suggestions! Its a great feeling to finally bury one of your childhood fears :) Not sure if you have seen Edward Scissorhands yet, if not you should definitely do it next or in the near future. Its a beautiful and wonderful film.. Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder

Bettlejuice taking out that aging spell with a golf swing is such a cool moment. Here it is about to erase the Maitlands forever and he just calmly reverses it like it was nothing. lol

13:59 he floats, creates instant scary face but changing his clothes confuses Cherry. Never change, Cherry!

I love how creative this is and the music adds to it

The actress who plays Juno was in Mars Attacks.

Welcome to the Betelgeuse fold 😂 "Nice F--in model!" 😅

This was one of my childhood films that I watched over and over again. I was about 9 when I first saw it. I was about 14 when I got the "jerk off" motion joke.

He add libbed the nice f@$@& model (honk honk) scene after the tree fell down

I'm glad you liked this movie Mary! It's one of my favorites. There's generally 2 different groups when it comes to this movie. One group loves it and thinks it's hilarious and the other group doesn't get it and just thinks it's bizarre and dumb. Glad you're in the first group!

What just dawned on me watching your rewatch, Lydia says that she read the Handbook for the Recently Deceased yet when Otto opens it, all the pages are blank. All the years and many times I have seen this movie, that just dawned on me.

"Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively." That scene always makes me laugh. The way he changes his voice and sounds so professional.

Gina Davis got her start in a HILARIOUS movie called Fletch, with Chevy Chase. She has a small part in it, but she's GREAT. That led to The Fly (with Jeff Goldblum), where she was AMAZING; but that's an amazing movie all around. Their on-screen chemistry is ELECTRIC, and it's no surprise that they were married at the time (also appearing together in Transylvania 6-5000 and Earth Girls are Easy, but those aren't her greatest films). You will LOVE her in Thelma and Louise however (with Susan Sarandon; both actresses were nominated for Oscars for that film, which swept the awards with six wins including Best Picture and Best Director - Ridley Scott). She later married director Renny Harlin, who cast her in the lead in Cutthroat Island (a pirate movie worth skipping, although she's great in it, of course), and Long Kiss Goodnight (with Sam Jackson), where she briefly occupied the title of #1 Female Action Star in the World. THAT is one entertaining action spectacle where she plays a kind of female Jason Bourne with Jackson providing a non-stop stream of classic one-liners. She hasn't been on the big screen that much since - had to raise a few children - but she recently put in a very respectable performance in the TV series sequel to The Exorcist and Exorcist III called "The Exorcist" (first season, anyway, I think the second season followed different characters). And she was also quite good in Netflix' GLOW, which is another series you absolutely owe it to yourself to see - hilarious, dramatic, VERY loosely based on the actual Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, which was a popular show for a hot second in the 80's - although she was only a recurring character, not one of the leads. Anyway, she's ALSO a philanthropist and champion of women's equality in Hollywood, and even tried out for the Syndey Olympics, I believe. Worth checking out her contributions to cinema, but thanks for another great reaction/review!!!

Such a fun film, glad you enjoyed it. This old man saw it in the theater back in the day and it was a blast then. I still enjoy it even after all these years.

The cartoon was hilarious and difference I loved it when I was young

I still can't believe that they made a Saturday morning cartoon from this movie. It featured Lydia and Beetlejuice going on adventures in the Neitherworld. They're best friends in the series. They loosely based it on the movie and it was produced by Tim Burton. Lydia is more upbeat and Beetlejuice is more of a prankster. He plays a lot of pranks on Lydia's parents and also on Lydia's pet cat. But the cat tends to get back from time to time.

This was one of my favourite movies as a kid, my mom always covered my ears when Beetlejuice swore and kicked down the tree.

This like other movies had a cartoon series based on this. That one had Lydia and Beetlejuice as friends with Lydia able to go into his world anytime she wanted.

I have that same thing with thinking about how actors are dead now from older movies, but more specifically with animals

Loved this when I saw it as a teenager, it was creepy/funny and Keaton is amazing as the manic title character. Elfman's score is perfection! Have you seen the Nightmare before Christmas?

RIP Carmen Filpi, Glenn Shadix, Hugo Stanger, J. Jay Saunders, Robert Goulet, Simmy Bow, and Sylvia Sidney. As a four-year-old in 1988, I saw the movie Beetlejuice for the first time.

I’m glad you enjoyed this.

Someone else may have pointed out that the actor that Mary commented on that she believes is now dead was named Hugo Stanger who played “Old Bill”. Hugo died in 1990 at the age of 89.

Love your channel, Mary! Just wanted to chime in about something that you may not have known about -- but I actually saw another KZfaqr react to this movie and also didn't know about it -- it's the bit at the end when Beetlejuice gets his head shrunk. That was a common practice amongst some ancient tribes in the Amazonian rainforest area. The terms "head shrinker" & "shrink" (to refer to a therapist) and "head hunter" (to refer to someone who finds quality future employees for companies) both originated from this practice. After doing away with their enemy, these tribes would remove the skull from their head, sew together the lips, then boil and dry the head, all of which would help to shrink it down. According to Wikipedia, they believed that doing this would harness the spirit of their enemy and prevent them from avenging their death. So the person sitting next to Beetlejuice was meant to portray a Westerner who ran afoul of one of these tribes and got his head shrunk. The movie of course takes liberties with the tribesman sitting on the other side, portraying it as magic dust that shrinks the heads. Probably not the most politically correct thing to portray in pop culture, but that sort of thing really did happen (although the person was obviously not still alive when it happened, and their head was not still attached to the body). This was happening as early as the 18th and 19th centuries, and as recent as the 1930s, when the practice was outlawed by several countries in the region.

8:33- I loved that moment. She knows. She can see you. The Goth can see you. 9:46- I love that the dead is a business there and they got case workers and everything.

I was 5 when I saw it, but I grew up on horror, so I loved it for being an amazing horror/comedy! That was the same year I watched the original "It" miniseries!

7:44 - 7:48/ Gotta defend my city from outside negativity! Born and raised in The Bronx. Good citizen of this fair borough since 1981. The deal is, despite being a merchant city with capital minded businesses thriving here as far back as the 1700's, it holds a dark distinction of also being a segregated city with many instances of racism and near financial destruction tearing this metropolis apart. And yet, 300 years later, we still stand. The British couldn't kill us all. The U.S. Government couldn't destroy us, though they've tried. Middle Eastern lunatics brought down our Twin Towers.... only to see a massive rebuild by locals and foreigners, alike. We're the greatest city on Earth. And I'm damn proud to survive it...❤

If Beetlejuice has his small head the whole sequel would be crazy. I hope they at least address it somehow. Him getting his normal head back some way at the start would be cool.

I think Merry Cherry already has seen it before but A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN is a Gina Davis lead film.

Geena Davis (and Susan Sarandon): Thelma And Louise. If you haven't seen that movie, then pop it on your list because I guarantee you're going to like that one. She also was in a good horror movie everyone reacts to: "The Fly". Also you can see her, Bill Murray and lots of other greats in the Dustin Hoffman movie "Tootsie", another one of the big comedies of the 80s. (I believe it was Geena's film debut)

This is the first Tim Burton film I saw & I've loved pretty much everything he's made since then.

I think the same when seeing old people in old film

The first day with my brand new stepdad he took me to An American Werewolf in London 1981. I was just eight years old never seen anything like that. When that dude transformed the first time. My dad looked over at me and said you wanna go and I said yes.😂 I didn't realize I was clutching him. That s*** f me up.

RIP Harry Belafonte (the performer of the calypso songs) who passed a few months ago, a great artist and fighter for civil rights.

As a nerdy gamer type back then before it was cool, I adored the line "I, myself *am* strange and unusual." Such a fun movie.

Hi Mary, I have been watching for all these years. And I am proud, keep being you!

She looks like she’s in Garudo desert….. You just made my year!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You’re awesome Mary! 🙂 This was a very cool reaction!

People looked at Michael Keaton in this and thought, "Yep! That's our next Batman right there!"

Sometimes a ghost walks past me and gives me goosebumps too. Then I close the door and the breeze stops.

You have great timing Mary, a Twitch Livestream on my way to work and now a YT premiere for lunch!

Another great movie with Gina Davis (and Tom Hanks! ) is League of Their Own. I hope you can watch that one sometime 😄

I saw this for the first time when I was 8 and it scared me too, so don't feel bad. Being older now though it's definitely become a classic you just have to dust off every few years and watch again. Glad you liked it!

I really hope the sequel can capture the same weird style of humor.

I also watched this when I was young (i believe i waa 5-6?) and my parents tried to use this movie as a way to teach me about death and the afterlife, but what it actually did was it got me interested in wierd-bizare and gothic horror at an early age lol. Beetlejuice is one of my top 5 favorite films of all time and im excited to see where the sequal will take it!

Winona Ryder and Glenn Shadix (Otho) were in an amazing 90's teen dark comedy with Christian Slater, called "Heathers". You MUST see it, if you haven't, yet.

I get what you mean about RIP to the older peeps in movies around 30 yrs. Me, I'm oh that horse,cat,dog,mouse,fish, etc, etc. Case in point, the doggo at the bridge 3:40 right after you mentioned the senior at the store. He's like my 84 yr old dad now. Just talking about anything he can remember. Enjoy the moments with everyone born decades before you.

For me, the movie was The Melting Man. It terrified me in 7th grade. I saw it again when I was 31, and it was so cheesy and BAAAAAD. But somehow, it still scared me again when I was alone at work.

Saw this movie when I was really young (like 3 or 4.) It has been a favorite of mine ever since. Also, I credit this movie for giving me my love of horror, ghosts, and goths.

Great reaction! I assume you have never seen Home Alone 1 & 2 because Catherine O'Hara plays the mom in it & is young in them too.

You are not alone when seeing an elderly person in a older movie, and having the thought of them likely have passed away by the time of watching movie

I was a little one when I first saw this, and I loved it. Still one of my absolute favorite films.

Great post, I love your work, work, work, senora, work it all the time🎶

theyre in the middle of filminh the sequel 20+ years later with most of the OG cast returning.. i think almost everyone besides baldwin and davis have been confirmed..

The long kiss goodnight is a must see

A decent Geena Davis film, also starring Tom Hanks and Madonna, is "League Of Their Own". You'd like it.

Fun Fact: When Betelgeuse kicks the tree at 14:15, it wasn't supposed to fall over, and the line "nice f***ing model", was improvised.

Ghostbusters freaked me out as a kid. I remember the marshmallow man being so terrifying.

When I was 4, poltergeist scared the crap outta me for decades. Three DVD version I have of this movie, you can play the whole movie, but it will only play the music. You don't hear dialogue.

Biggest smile on my face when Lydia gets possessed as a reward lol
