Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a 2024 fantasy comedy horror film directed by Oscar-nominated visionary Tim Burton, from a screenplay by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (Wednesday), story by Gough and Millar and Seth Grahame-Smith (The LEGO® Batman Movie), based on characters created by Michael McDowell and Larry Wilson. The film is the follow-up to the 1988 genre-defining cult classic film that was really an artistic springboard for Burton who would go on to direct Batman (1988), Edward Scissorhands (1990), and Batman Returns (1992).
Beetlejuice is back! After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia's life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it's only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice's name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.
