: What is the qualification?
Story
A dead couple’s spirits are haunted by an insufferable family that has moved into their home and hires an evil spirit to exorcise them. This is Michael Keaton’s own favorite movie..Otho’s when he spray paints the walls of the house, the shoes change from the fire engine red elf looking shoes to white sneakers as he walks through the bathroom and then they change back to red elf shoes when he enters the next room. Beetlejuice: Ah. Well… I went to Juilliard… I graduated from Harvard Business School.
I travel quite widely
I lived through the black plague and had a pretty good time during it. I’VE SEEN THE EXORCOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT’S GETTING MORE FUNNY EVERY TIME YOU THINK? Do you think I’m qualified? The Geffen Company logo is accompanied by an eerie version of the Banana Boat song (sung by the film’s composer Danny Elfman). This version of the film is about 2 minutes shorter than the theatrical release, has a few extra scenes and is missing some others, is in black and white, and has a timecode at the bottom. This version has 4 major differences:
Alternate scene:
The scene where Adam tries to leave the house after he and his wife die is different.
The film ends with the last exterior shot of the house
Instead of a desert, he sees an empty darkness filled with spinning teeth. Additional scenes:
A scene has been added where Lydia develops the photos she took of Adam and Barbra. Then, when her mother yells at her and accuses her of cutting into her sheets, Lydia runs upstairs and tries to convince her father that the pictures are real. There’s more to the scene where the adults search the attic for ghosts, as we saw a desert monster try to eat Adam and Barbra while they’re hanging from the attic window. Finally, there is a 2 minute extra scene where we see Lydia riding her bike home from school and her parents talking to Jane on the phone telling her they don’t want to sell the house. Lydia’s dance scene is shorter in this version, and there is no scene with Beetlejuice in the waiting room.

From ghosts and the dead, you can usually expect a horror movie full of screams and bloody characters. But in Beetlejuice we see a new dimension of humor being attempted. Considering that the film was made in 1988 with limited special effects, Beetlejuice could simply be labeled “creativity at its best”.
The acting is top notch on all fronts
Tim Burton is a pure visionary and with this film you can’t help but appreciate his creativity and ability to translate it to the big screen. One can’t help but admire the promising young Winona Ryder – a flower ready to bloom. It takes a few viewings to fully understand the film.
