It was estimated that about 90% of Keaton's performance was improvised, with just a few lines done as scripted. He really took the part as written and made it his own and way better than what was scripted.

I LOVE these early Tim Burton films. This, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood etc. Even the Batman films. So much fun and creativity.

I love the dark creativity of Burton's early films. Winona Ryder was the ultimate gothic depressed teen.

I know Beetlejuice wasn't in the film much relatively speaking especially for the titular character. But he's a lot to handle and I think his limkited time on screen really works better than it would if he was always mugging. Like, a little goes a really long way. But this film is an all time fave, so I'm biased. Also, as a kid as much as Winona Ryder in this and Heathers was a huge influence on what I found attractive , I had a huge kid crush on Catherine O'Hara. Still do.

Some of Beetlejuice’s lines were improvised by Michael Keaton. He’s always been a criminally underrated actor who was robbed of an Oscar for his performance in Birdman.

It deals with ghosts and gouls. Is that not enough to classify it as a Halloween movie?

It takes a lot of effort to make stop motion feel fluid and “real” so it gives a lot of people the shudders. Kind of like how some people are scared of mannequins. It lends itself really well to spooky movies because of it haha

It's been forever since I've seen Batman, but I swear there's a scene with the Joker turning around to "marry" Vikki Vale that just about mirrors the shot of Beetlejuice turning toward the camera to say "Shall we?" to Lydia.

"Stop motion really creeps me out" Ray Harryhausan appreciates that.

This movie was an entire mood when it came out. People were putting on the soundtrack and dancing around their house.

Such a classic! Stop motion is so creepy but I love it! Yet another film to convince me I grew up in the wrong decade because the 80s are just magical for movies.

Michael Keaton spent only two weeks on set, and Tim Burton allowed him to ad-lib most of his lines.

Perfect timing. I was NY Comic Con today and I’m still wearing my “I myself, am strange and unusual” tee shirt.

When it comes to improvision, Keaton is the type of actor who not only has a lot of good ideas himself but is also quick to take on ideas offered to him. He and Burton worked closely together to flesh out Betelgeuse's character. He attributed a lot of his performance in "Multiplicity" to Harold Ramis' direction as well as his own noted and he said some of the funniest lines in "Mr. Mom" were pitched by costar Martin Mull.

"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" and "I'm Not There". Both have multiple actors playing the same character, but at different scenes. The later for artistic reasons and the former due to the death of Heath Ledger.

Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Directed by Tim Burton. Starring Johnnny Depp, Alan Rickman & Helena Bonham Carter. It's a musical, lots of singing, and there's murder, intrigue and mystery. Imagine if Tim Burton directed Silence of the Lambs: The Musical.

Micheal Keaton is a genius...

You asked about 'when do you feel like a full adult?'. For me it's when others point it out to me. For example, I was walking down a street last Christmas and a little girl out with her mother looked up at me and said 'Happy Christmas Santa', which made me smile. I was 53 years old at the time. As a young man I had dark red hair and the thing with having this type of hair is that you start going grey when you reach your 40's. Inwardly I still feel the same as l did when I was 19. I don't think anyone truly feel their age, it's down to the people around them to point it out. All the very best, Trevor from East London, UK.

I lived through the black plague, and I had a pretty good time during that. I've seen "The Exorcist" JUST ABOUT 167 TIMES! AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT!

Shanelle, this is a special film and I am so glad that you seemed to appreciate the quirkiness of the film and "outdated" special effects, which I think add immensely to the tone of the film. I've been in love with Winona Ryder since I saw this as an 11 yr old lol. She expressed a lot of what I felt growing up as a weird kid who loved the supernatural and occult. Having said all that, I hope and pray that you watch "Sleepy Hollow", also directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp. A surprisingly dark and wonderful film in its own right.

Anyways I just wanted to tell you how much I love watching your reactions and keep up the great job!

One of Tim Burton’s very best movies imo, I had a huge crush on Lydia when I was in high school and even went on to marry a girl who is kind of a goth, she’s Indian and people found it very unusual and she would say Winona’s line of being strange and unusual and that just made me love her more, Michael Keaton’s performance as BeetleJuice is so iconic and cool that it was his experience working with Tim on this that he trusted him enough to be Batman the next year and of course he became THE Batman for an entire generation, thankfully a sequel has never been made and I hope it never is

Catherine O'haras dance/acting in the DEYOO scene is TOP NOTCH.

There was a short lived Saturday morning animated TV series called 'Beetlejuice' (which ran for 4 seasons from 1989 to 1991 first on ABC then moved to Fox Kids) which does act as sort of a sequel to the film (mostly featuring Beetlejuice & Lydia - voiced by different actors of course, as they travel throughout the netherworld solving various issues and dealing with all kinds of wacky shenanigans, usually caused by Beetlejuice himself, that often includes them dealing with weird monsters, ghosts, ghouls, goblins, zombies & more, and in select episodes also features cameos of the characters Charles & Delia Deetz, Adam & Barbara Maitlands, Juno, Otho and several other living and dead characters from the movie). Tim Burton was executive producer of the animated series during its entire run (and even Danny Elfman would revamp the signature theme song as well as provide additional music periodically throughout the series, sometimes uncredited). The entire series is available on DVD. ✌️

One of Burton's finest hours with production design to die for with a game cast of talent and Keaton in his 1st iconic role (he won the NY Film Critrics' award for this and CLEAN SOBER in the same year - beyond versatile - make sure to see that film too)

I can understand that stop motion animation is pretty creepy with that jittery movement. Ray Harryhausen was a master of stop motion animation in his time which inspired many directors including Tim Burton. The scariest stop motion creation for me was Medusa in Harryhausen's last movie Clash of the Titans. She was terrifying in every scene she was in.

I'm 55 years old, Shan, and I still feel like my 16 year old self. I mean, I've had to Adult a lot, and I'm getting Senior Citizen pains, and I can tell that I'm not physically capable of the things I could get away with 30 years ago, but inside my heart, inside my mind, yeah, still 16. So the short answer to "When are you supposed to feel like a full adult?" is .... hopefully never.

When I was in kindergarten, my mom made me a Beetlejuice costume and I walked the line between best costume and getting expelled because of how in character I was.

Fun fact, Michael was part of the inspiration for my little brother being named Keaton, but Buster was the biggest influence.

The iconic sound of this movie is from the genius mind of Danny Elfman, one of the more prolific composers of Tim Burton films. He gave us the iconic Batman theme, Nightmare before Christmas, the 2002 SpiderMan movie,... and oh yes, the theme to The Simpsons. The man knew how to make eclectic into amazing

The part where Beetlejuice kicks over the tree in the model and says nice f@#$ing model wasn't in the script. It was improvised and Burton found funny and decided to keep it in the film.

Catherine O'Hara is glad she agreed to do the movie because she met her husband on the set, who was the production designer.

The original script had it as a real horror movie. Beetlejuice was originally conceived as a very dark character. Once the studio brought in Tim Burton though, he wanted the script rewritten as more of a comedy.

Whenever Winona Ryder says She's sleeping with Prince Valium tonight- I automatically think of Spaceballs!

Thanks for this reaction. And if you want to see Tim Curry in a strange musical and (kind of) scary movie, with occasional choreography, I hope you will see (or have seen) The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It also stars a very young Susan Sarandon. Much better to see Rocky Horror with a crowd (rather than by yourself at home), preferably a crowd that comes prepared for some audience participation. Not quite the same as what happens with some screenings of The Sound of Music...

As a kid, I was exposed to the Beetlejuice cartoon first. It was a little surprising when I finally saw the movie and realized how much had been changed for the Saturday morning crowd: in the show, Beetlejuice and Lydia are best friends, there's no mention of the Maitlands, etc. I kind of forgot how much I loved the animated version until I bought it on DVD last year after watching the musical, which I think borrowed elements from the cartoon in its adaptation.

0:16 Hey, just get one of those "magic mirrors" that they used in Romper Room way back when..."I see Billy, and Sally, and little Joey, and...BECKY! What ARE you doing WITH THAT CANDLE????!!!??"

This movie is EVERYTHING! I so love that you are loving the vibe of this movie. You get it. Tongue in cheek escapism, but full of quotable moments and dark humor. I still quote it today. "I AM ALONE.....I AM UTTERLY ALONE."🤣 Tim Burton's stylization and his copycats are a mood. Lol Michael Keaton used to do movies where his adlibs are like rapid fire. Jim Carey could only be so lucky to be compared to a living legend. In fact, I was concerned about him playing Batman because of comedic style, but he blew me away as my favorite Batman. Keaton, Pfiffer and Devito were magic in the Batman Returns movie. Best one ever...but I digress. The dinner scene is everything, and that shrunken head guy in the waiting room gets me in stitches every time I see him.😂🤣😭 Thank you for loving all the quirkiness of this movie. Great reaction. 🤗 Side note: Winona Ryder and the Otto actor appeared in another 80's iconic cult classic "Heathers".

It's funny you emphasize what an '80's film this was, and it was, but when I saw it in the theater I thought it was a sign of what was to come with the '90's. The '80's were marked by traditional horror films--Poltergeist, Nightmare on Elm Street--with some horror comedies--Gremlins, Ghostbusters. Beetlejuice was different in giving us a haunting from the ghosts' perspective, but was also more nuanced. There's not a clear line between good and evil. Even Beetlejuice, creepy and outrageous as he is, isn't bad. He just wants a good time.

In the Beetlejuice cartoon, she had friends from school named Bertha and Prudence.

If you'll noticed, the spelling of the movie is "Beetlejuice", but the character's name is "Betelgeuse" like the star. The studio made Tim Burton change the spelling because they were afraid people wouldn't be able to pronounce Betelgeuse from reading it.

During my wedding reception dinner we did the beetlejuice dinner scene un planned. The DJ started the song and we all looked at each other and did it.

My (born 1986) childhood movie I watched over and over again was Beetlejuice. My mother told me many times growing up that I would be a weird but hilarious human being.........she was not wrong.

16:16 Fun Fact: When Betelgeuse kicks the tree after 10:57, it wasn't supposed to fall over, and the line "nice f***ing model", was improvised and was directed to the set designer.

Fun Fact: The whole scene where Michael Keaton kicks the tree over and "Nice F-ing Model (HONK! HONK!)" Was all improvised, that tree wasn't supposed to fall over. On that note most of his lines were improvised

Creepiest stop motion ever: Davey and Goliath.

The idea of swapping out cast members has worked in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Heath Ledger passed away before shooting was completed, so the role of Tony was also played by Jude Law, Johnny Depp & Colin Farrell.

Love this movie! and the 90's cartoon was WEIRD! (in a good way). I highly recommend at lest watching the opening to the cartoon, telling yourself, "they made this for KIDS!" Great reaction, as always. Can't wait to see what you react to next.

Sometimes having the titular character on screen for a limited time can actually be a good thing. Another great classic film where the titular character has even less screen time that beetlejuice is Dr. strangelove. Peter Sellers plays 3 characters, including Dr Strangelove, but the Dr is only on screen in 3 scenes. I highly recommend doing a reaction to it. Many great actors, as well as being James Earl Jones's first silver screen appearance

As many thousands of times I saw this movie as a kid, it wasn't until I was an adult that I FULLY understood the "suiciders doing social work in the afterlife" bit.

Catherine O’Hara Catherine O’Hara’ing about is my culture.

Harry Belafonte made the soundtrack iconic with beautiful rhythms...RIP to a Calypso legend.

I love how they subtly show that all the social workers for the dead had committed suicide.

Keaton's performance is over the top good!

Saw it in the theater and loved it as a kid. It was a pretty popular movie and on cable a whole lot.

I fell in love with Winona Ryder when I first saw this movie. 😍 Mostly because it was the first Ryder movie I ever saw.

I appreciate you bringing up the skeleton key. I've been trying for years to get any reaction/commentary channels to cover it and so far it's been unsuccessful lol

Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian was actually the name Tim Burton suggested when asked if he would do a sequel. He was actually trying to shoot the idea down by suggesting the stupidest title he could think of. Unfortunately the producers suggesting the sequel didn't understand his type of humor and have been trying to get the project off the ground for years.
