Synopsis
The spirits of a dead couple are haunted by an obnoxious family who have moved into their home and hire a malicious spirit to drive them out. This is Michael Keaton's favorite movie. He slips off his shoes as he walks through the bathroom and then changes back into his red elf shoes as he enters the next room. Adam: What are your qualifications? Beetlejuice: Oh. Well...
I travel quite a bit
I'm a Harvard Business School graduate. I lived through the Black Plague and had a great time during it. I've seen THE EXORCIST about a hundred and sixty-seven times, and it gets funnier and funnier every time I see it... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY, DO... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? Do you think I'm qualified?
A print of the film has surfaced with some added/alternate scenes
The Geffen Company logo is accompanied by a macabre rendition of the song Banana Boat (sung by the film's composer Danny Elfman). This version of the film is about 2 minutes shorter than the theatrical release, has some extra scenes and is missing others, is in black and white, and has a timecode at the bottom. This version has 4 main differences: Alternate Scene: The scene where Adam tries to leave the house after he and his wife die is different. Instead of a desert, he sees an empty darkness filled with rolling gears. Extra Scenes: There is an additional scene where Lydia is developing the photos she took of Adam and Barbra. Then, after her mother yells at her and blames her for poking holes in her sheets, Lydia runs upstairs and tries to convince her father that the photos are real.
Edited into Terror Toons (2002)
There is more in the scene where the adults search for ghosts in the attic, where we see the desert monster trying to eat Adam and Barbra while they are hanging out of the attic window. Finally, there is an extra 2 minute scene at the end where we see Lydia riding her bike home from school and her parents talking to Jane on the phone saying that they don't want to sell the house. Lydia's dance scene is shorter in this version, and there is no scene with Beetlejuice in the waiting room. The film ends with a final exterior shot of the house.

Great for every watch
Attaway & Irving Burgie (as Lord Burgess)] Performed by Harry Belafonte Courtesy of RCA Records. This is one of Tim Burton's best films. His second effort features the story of a couple (the Maitlands, played to good effect by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) who are accidentally killed on a bridge and end up being targeted by an upper-class family (including a young but well-played Winona Ryder) and a strange but (mostly) terrifying ghost named Beetleguise (or Beetlejuice in a laugh track) played with immense complexity by Michael Keaton. Sure, this plot might seem a bit anticlimactic, being mostly jokes and not really a focused story, but so what? In a movie where you see sandworms from Saturn, shrimp that attach themselves to calypso, and a walnut that has seen the exorcist 167 times (insert quote here), why bother with a plot? Would recommend to anyone.
