The Handbook For The Recently Deceased
The originalBeetlejuicefollows a young couple, Barbara and Adam, after a tragic car crash makes them the newest members of the land of the dead.While adjusting to their new ghostly reality is hard enough, a family from New York has just moved into their home and wants to change everything.After many failed attempts to scare them out of the house via a haunting, the couple go to Beetlejuice for help. However, they get more than they bargain for. Beetlejuice was classic Burton and would define the director’s style for the next three decades.The stop-motion practical effects were to die for, the blend of campy horror and comedy remains unique no matter how many times you watch it, and the iconic performances are some of the best genre fodder imaginable. This gothic tale was Keaton’s first real shot to break away from his purely comedy roots. He took the character of Beetlejuice andmade it his own.That’s why many fans have wanted to get the band back together after all these years.Beetlejuice Beetlejuicewill retain the series’emphasis on practical effects, with another killer cast to boot. The story follows back up with the Deetzs after experiencing a death in the family.Lydia’s (Ryder) daughter (Jenna Ortega) gets trapped in the afterlife and Beetlejuice’s deadly game begins again.
