You are not supposed to say the name “Beetlejuice” three times, otherwise he will appear.
Someone must’ve said gone and said it because he’s back in theaters 36 years after we last saw him in 1988 in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” Michael Keaton reprises yet another one of the characters that made him the star that he is along with Winona Ryder, as Lydia Deetz, and Catherine O’Hara, as Delia Deetz, from the original.
Also, Tim Burton returns to direct this sequel to the movie that pretty much got him the “Batman” job.
Burton does again feature the afterlife oddities and general weirdness but amplifies it for today’s audience.
It all starts with Lydia seeing Beetlejuice visions and needing to reunite with her daughter, Astrid, played by Jenna Ortega.
Events soon lead them to the house from the first movie and all that lie within, including the title character, who hasn’t forgotten Lydia.
However, there’s a ghostly figure, named Delores played by Monica Bellucci, who hasn’t forgotten about Beetlejuice.
She’s on the hunt for her man and woe to any that get in her way.
Tim Burton also brings in some new characters like Rory, played by Justin Theroux and Wolf Jackson played by Willem Dafoe.
Will it haunt you forever if you don’t go see this at the theater?
Check out this episode to find out that very thing.
“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” also stars Arthur Conti, Nick Kellington, Santiago Cabrera, Burn Gorman, Danny DeVito, Sami Slimane and Amy Nuttall.
