Why watch this? Tim Burton is a master at creating a world of the macabre.

Plot Summary: Adam and Barbara, a recently deceased couple, find themselves haunting their former home, unable to leave. When a new family moves in and tries to drastically alter the house, the ghosts attempt to scare them away. Their unsuccessful attempts lead them to seek help from a chaotic spirit named Beetlejuice, whose unconventional methods become dangerous for everyone involved.

Dad's Preview: This was a great collaboration between Tim Burton and Michael Keaton. The bold move here was to basically turn Keaton loose, capitalizing on his unique style of comedic genius. This inter-dimensional character is so freaking bizarre. However, it works. I particularly enjoy the family dinner séance and demonic Conga dance, but I'm a weirdo. I also cannot forget the Maitland's (who are undead) visit to the chain-smoking death counselor.
