Beetlejuice

 

Beetlejuice 1988

• Director: Tim Burton
• Cast: Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Winona Ryder, Michael Keaton, Catherine O’Hara, Jeffrey Jones
• Why? Good film
• Seen: Twice before. Now 21 October 2025 

       A loving young couple Barb (Davis) and Adam (Baldwin) die in a car crash and end up trapped in their house as ghosts. A horrible new family moves in who are going to refurbish the whole place. Barb and Adam decide to do something about it. They are helped by the bio-exorcist Beetlejuice (Keaton).

       Anyone who has seen the film will never forget the ‘Day-O’ scene or the wonderfully Goth emo teenager Winona Ryder, the only one who can see the ghosts.

       It’s Tim Burton. It’s weird.
