Sounds like Warner Brothers put you two through the ringer getting this video out! Thanks for sticking with it. In honour of Halloween, may I suggest you look at The Addams Family from 1991 with Raul Julia and Angelica Houston, or another from Tim Burton. Think you might enjoy Dark Shadows or Sleepy Hollow if you have not already seen them.

Micheal Keaton is very talented from Beetlejuice to Batman to One Good Cop. Him like many know how to sell a character.

The FX Tim Burton used, stop motion, was intentional and not because of dated technology at the time. It produced a spookier and more gothic look which is a signature of his movies.

You were right. This role is what convinced Tim Burton to cast Michael Keaton as Batman. Also, the music to the movie, and all Tim Burton Movies is done by Danny Elfman (from the band Oingo Bongo) who also does the theme song for The Simpsons.

"I've seen the Exorcist 167 times... and it keeps getting funnier... every time I see it"- Beetlejuice 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Michael Keaton actually got his start as a production assistant with the show, Mr Rogers Neighborhood. When he worked for the show, he controlled the Trolley and did other tasks that were needed, such as being in costume or anything like that. At night he would go to Comedy clubs and perform there. After speaking with David Newell who played the role of Mr McFeeley, he learned where he could try out for different acting roles and his career went from there.

"It's Showtime!" Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) owned this role and the thing I always forget is how little he's in the movie. What scenes he does have he dominates. Also, the main thing is that the movie makes you smile, laugh and no matter how crazy everything gets, you always feel sympathy for Adam Maitland (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara Maitland (Geena Davis), the married couple and Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder).

Technically Jim Carrey was already doing movies at this time, even though he wasn’t a big star yet. He started doing movies in the early 80s as an unknown, then he hit it big after the sketch comedy show he was on that got noticed… it was called In Living Color, then Ace Ventura was what made him a star

@nsasupporter7557

Also, If Saturday Night Live had accepted Jim Carrey as a cast member… he would’ve been a star long before he did. But due to SNL rejecting him, his stardom was delayed unfortunately. He didn’t become a star until 1994. Which was perfect for me, because I was 7 at the time so I was fortunate enough to be one of those who grew up with his career

this is one of my favorite movies as a wee middle school kid. It also shows how great it was written and directing especially since Beetlejuice is only on the screen for 18 minutes. another great Tim Burton movie about this time for Halloween is Edward Scissorhands.

Yes very good early 80s movie

I love this movie, my sister and I would watch it as kids a lot. I was technically born before this came out, but I didn't see it until the early 90's, lol. The new one is supposed to have both Burton and Keaton involved. So we'll see how that works.

That guy ( your a flake you've always been a flack ) was dick cavett . He was a talk show host , 70s snd 80s , he was in forest gump . Forest appears on his show with john Lennon. .

Michael came up with his own makeup and costume. He also ad-libbed most of his lines

This originally came out hundreds of years ago in 1497. It started out as a play. Everybody ran screaming from the bus. The bus blew up and everyone laughed. Good times.

The effects were meant to look as they did, it wasn't just a budget thing. Tim Burton is a lover of cheesy effects and wanted to to an homage to his favourites from the b-movie era.

this isn't like a b-movie really. They just looked like that cause it was the 80s but I do think they'd be able to do more in the sequel.

"Beetlejuice" is such a classic comedy. So many great quotable lines with a stellar performance by Michael Keaton. Danny Elfman knocked the soundtrack out of the park and shows you how it developed into the "Batman" 1989 score.

Fun fact: Warner bros was hesitant about both Tim Burton and Michael Keaton doing Batman. They were only use to the silly Adam West Batman from the 60s, they couldn’t see Batman as a dark serious character. But when Beetlejuice was successful, they green lit Burton as director. But when Michael Keaton was cast as Batman, everybody was deeply concerned. But he blew everybody away with his performance as Batman/Bruce Wayne.

@@nsasupporter7557 Let's play devil's advocate, because we're talking about a philanthropic playboy who lives a billionaire's life on one side & dresses up like a flying rodent to fight crime with a vast array of gadgets and cool vehicles on the other as an outlet for his otherwise repressed aggressive tendencies stemming from seeing his parents fatally gunned down by some two-bit hood after going to the movies to watch _The Mark of Zorro_ (or in _B:TAS_ canon, a theatrical movie adaptation of _The Gray Ghost_ perhaps) and from that day on, promising that he would be the dark avenger for the criminal underworld of Gotham, whereby ~In best Kevin Conroy impression~ "he is vengeance, he's the night. He is BATMAN!" Yet, despite this glum backstory, The Dark Knight's Rouges Gallery also includes wacky characters like Egghead, The Condiment King, Calendar Man, etc.

"Are you a ghost, too?" "I'm a ghost with the most, babe." Fun Fact: Michael Keaton, playing the title character, only appears in 14.5 minutes of the film. Music Enthusiast Fact: Tim Burton feared the Day-O (1956) by Harry Belafonte sequence wouldn't go over well, since in his opinion it wasn't very funny. He turned out to be wrong, audiences loved it and think of it as one of the film's most iconic scenes. Parapsychology Foreshadowing Fact: At the dinner party, Otho (Glenn Shadix) states that people who commit suicide end up as "civil servants" in the afterlife. This is actually expanded on in the film. The civil servant ghosts that Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara (Geena Davis) meet are people who appear to have ended their own lives. The receptionist (Patrice Martinez) says she committed suicide, there is a man who hanged himself, and the crushed messenger (Carmen Filpi) is implied to have done it to himself. Juno (Sylvia Sidney) looks normal, but there are scars on her neck that indicate she cut her own throat. Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) is said to have been a civil servant and Juno's assistant; it was going to be explained in the film that he hanged himself (incompetently and very painfully), due to heartbreak. While this was cut out of the film for running time purposes, it is hinted when Beetlejuice is surprised at Lydia (Winona Ryder) wishing to die.

22:15 - Actually, there was lots of criticism after Keaton was cast as Batman. The reason was because prior to Batman, Keaton had already made a name for himself as a comedic actor with Beetlejuice (1987), Gung Ho (1986), and Mr. Mom (1983).

It was pointed out a few years ago that if you self deleted you became an office worker - the most mundane job in the afterlife. A sort of Hell. The receptionist has cut wrists, the old lady has a cut throat, the flattened guy stepped in front of a bus, etc. I dont remember the rest.

For me Michael Keaton was the best part of the movie. And I didn't know that they were going to make a sequel. Interesting

There is a fan theory floating around that Lidiya actualy does die but she doesn't know it, or does and accepts it far faster than anyone should be able to. But ofcourse its a fan theory. The sequel will be something else.

I read that Tim Burton persuaded Michael Keaton on taking on the role of Betelgeuse (Beetlejuice). Michael wasn't too sure when he received the script.

Another good strange movie 😁

Most adults watching for the first time find this movie very odd...imo, it's one you just have to grow up with in order to appreciate it. It's an acquired taste. To me, it's a certified classic film. Every nuance; the music and each scene are like a flashback to my childhood, getting glimpses of the movie from each time it played. The nostalgia is what makes it special, all in all.

This movie was actually suppose to be a bit of a horror. But it turned into a comedy. There is a Part 2 coming out soon.

I grew up with this movie. I first saw it when I was around 9 or 10. I always loved it and was never creeped out by it. Honestly, it always took a lot to creep me out as a kid or as an adult, lol! I'm gen x and I think a lot of the younger generations don't totally get the movie or think its too weird. However, its Tim Burton, so they shouldn't expect anything less from him. This was probably one of his first movies. He made the first Batman movie right after this.

Glad you kept some parameters instead of 2.86 Hoots. Lol

This does have a "cult following" feel to it. I think the graphics were done that way on purpose. I'm not sure if it was budget or if it was a theme Tim Burton was going for. Perhaps he was trying to capture a certain "look". I do know when this came out it was really popular. Anyway, glad the two of you sort of liked it. I really appreciate your honesty. The fact that you can appreciate a film but not really like it or like it as much as others. We all have things we like and things we don't like. That's what makes us so diverse.

An underrated part of this movie that a lot of people don’t hit, is when Lydia said she wants to be dead too, Beetlejuice, for all of his flaws and antics in his character, seemed genuinely surprised by that, and a little disgusted. It’s almost as if he’s saying “this place sucks, why would you willingly want to come here?”

IMMWAOO The best Tim Burton Movie 🎥 🍿 not made by him is either Coraline or a Series of Unfortunate Events.

🙋🏻‍♂️ Oh I did not know they are actually making a BEETLEJUICE sequel. It’s about time ❗️Are you aware they made a cartoon though❓ .Would of loved to see the unedited version of this video before Warner Brothers had to interfere and muck it up ❤

This summer I was up in East Corinth, Vermont where they filmed the original movie with all of the outdoor scenes, including the covered bridge scene they drive off of in the movie. They actually spent a little over a month recreating the whole look of the town again including rebuilding the house, it was really neat to see in person.

But his most magical heartfelt....that I don't think u can get through, Big Fish.😭. Mom is from Schitts Creek, and home alone mom! Keaton did some great movies before this, Mr Mom, Johnny Dangerously, Gung Ho, and one of the funniest movies ever, Nightshift! In this movie, he practically ad-libbed everything! He also did an extremely touching movie about a man dying, so he videotapes everything so his kids have it. I don't remember the name but his wife was Nicole Kidman, in it!

This was a fun movie as a kid and it was popular enough to spawn a Saturday morning cartoon. Since Halloween is approaching, watching The Exorcist is a must. (I you haven't already) Also,Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
