Story Synopsis:
Beetlejuice is a colorful film from the mastermind of Tim Burton. When newlyweds Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara (Geena Davis) are killed in a car accident, they return as ghosts to their New England home to ward off a New York family who is moving in. After reading an afterlife advertisement, they hire a cantankerous “bio-exorcist”—named Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton)—to scare the family away.
