     Beetlejuice
1988  PG  COMEDY  1h 32min
CAST— Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O’Hara, Winona Ryder, Sylvia Sidney, Robert Goulet, Glenn Shadix, Dick Cavett, Annie McEnroe
MUSIC— Danny Elfman  DIRECTOR— Tim Burton

     It’s show time. A hilariously spooky comedy from Tim Burton, you know, the guy who brought you Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (1985) and would later become one of Hollywood’s favorite directors? A happily married couple are enjoying life when death comes knocking. Now the newly deads must sit back and helplessly watch as their beloved home is gutted by obnoxious yuppies. What is the couple to do? In an act of desperation they hire Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton), a self-proclaimed bio-exorcist whose antics are the stuff of legend. As sinister as he is funny, Betelgeuse plans to escape from his ghostly confines… by any means necessary. A unique blend of chills and laughs that is oh-so Burton. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! Oscar-winner for Best Makeup. Followed by an animated series.
