Halloween Movie : Beetlejuice

"Lets turn on the juice & see what shakes loose."

Beetlejuice is a 1988 movie directed by Tim Burton. The movie starts with a childless couple planning to spend their summer re-decorating their home. The couple soon meet with an unfortunate accident & drown. They find a book waiting for them at home - Handbook for the recently Deceased- & realize they're dead. The house is soon occupied by another family,who have a daughter named Lydia-a dark circles,funeral clothes wearing,depressed Lydia who can see them while other people "won't" see them. They find a pamphlet in their Handbook to call upon Betelgeuse-a crazy bio exorcist,whom you will love yet despise-to drive the new residents out of their house. They call upon him despite being warned by their after-life Case Worker not to.

The movie is a classic Tim Burton-huge worms,crazy people,colorful yet grim settings-quirky & fun. The makeup & special effects-though outdated now-are excellent for the 80s. The movie doesn't bore you at any point & flows on seamlessly. A MUST see for Halloween.
