‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ — Everything We Know about the Sequel

"Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse". Hopefully, you had the good sense to not read that quote out loud, but if you did, then you may be getting a visit from a sleazy poltergeist pretty soon. Legendary auteur filmmaker Tim Burton had a niche following in his early career, having directed numerous short films, a TV movie, and a feature directorial debut with Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure (1985). However, the moment when Tim Burton really became a household name was with the release of Beetlejuice (1988) - one of the most iconic horror comedies ever made. Though the story mainly follows a recently deceased ghost couple as they try to scare away a dysfunctional family from their own home, the film is named after and remembered for the film's villain, the character of Betelgeuse. Played to perfection by Michael Keaton, the Oscar-nominated actor channels his early days as a stand-up comedian to deliver a performance that is both hilarious and terrifying, despite having very little screen time.
