After 36 years since the great premiere of Beetlejuice, the horror comedy continues to be one of the biggest trends, especially with the arrival of its long-awaited sequel, which will feature multiple actors returning.
Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder are two of them, who previously brought to life the popular mischievous and crude ghost known as the “bio-exorcist”, and Lydia. Released in 1988, it has since become a cult classic.
The movie was characterized by its unique blend of black humor, imaginative visuals and quirky characters, which are typical of the distinctive style of Tim Burton, the director in charge of both installments.

With the arrival of the Beetlejuice sequel, it’s important to do a re-watch of what happened in the first installment. In the United States, the original movie is currently available on HBO’s streaming platform, Max.
The main character, with his messy hair, striped suit, and extravagant behavior, became an iconic figure in popular culture. Michael Keaton’s performance is often cited as one of the highlights of the film.
The movie also inspired a successful animated television series that aired from 1989 to 1991, expanding upon the world and characters already introduced.
The story follows the spirits of a deceased couple who are harassed by an unbearable family that has moved into their house, and they hire a malicious spirit to expel them.
