A recently deceased couple, stuck in the afterlife with an obnoxious family now living in their house, hire a ghoulish larger-than-life ‘bio-exorcist’ to scare them away—but things don’t go according to plan and the unleashing of ‘he who must not be named thrice’ has disastrous consequences for the dead and the living.
The film that truly launched the career of its unique and visionary director Tim Burton, ‘Beetlejuice’ is without doubt the most original Haunted House movie imaginable, combining Burton’s modern Gothic sensibilities with an endlessly humorous and entertaining storyline .
Sometimes scary but never threatening, funny, creative, idiosyncratic and anchored by a titular performance from Michael Keaton so strong and iconic that only Batman himself could stand a chance of overshadowing.
Directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis among others.
#TriviaTuesday: A cost-cutting insect-like suit was the early design for the alien hunter in 1987's 'Predator'—unsuccessfully worn by the character's first actor Jean-Claude Van Damme—but it was ditched for a now iconic Stan Winston design at twice the price. Money well spent. pic.twitter.com/pvbTmpgUIB
#TriviaTuesday: ‘Big Kahuna Burger’ is most certainly the fictional fast food of choice in the Tarantinoverse, appearing or referenced in 'Reservoir Dogs', 'From Dusk Till Dawn', 'Death Proof', 'Four Rooms', as well as its starring turn in 1994’s 'Pulp Fiction' of course. pic.twitter.com/k3xVsbDuA6
