Plot
After a family tragedy, three generations of the Dietz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her teenage daughter Astrid accidentally opens a portal to the afterlife. Jenna Ortega, Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Katharine O’Hara, Justin Theroux, and Monica Bellucci share why Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was an experience they’ll never forget. Tim Burton has said that the film would only be made if Michael Keaton returned to reprise his role. Lydia informs Astrid that Rory wants to get married at midnight on Halloween night.
Beetlejuice: I think it was Dostoyevsky who said
That would make it November 1st, since midnight is the start of a new day, and thus it would no longer be Halloween. Later, bugger.. SPOILER: There is a tribute in the end credits to Bob Skinner who died in the movie. In Late Night with Seth Meyers: Michael Keaton/Connor O’Malley (2024).

I don’t know why
Courtesy of Island Def Jam Music Group According to Universal Music Operations Ltd. license. For some reason people are checking out how they bomb this movie. This was a competent and clever sequel that lived up to its predecessor in almost every way. It helps to get most of the original cast as well as some welcome new faces.
Good job Tim!
It’s also nice to have Tim Burton back in the director’s chair. He was able to keep the feel of the original and translate it just enough to keep the style without feeling like an outdated remake. My only negative about the movie is that it takes quite a while before we get to all the Beetlejuice stuff. Of course, there are a lot of stories between the original and now, but some of them could have been condensed into shorter segments. Overall, it’s true to the original sequel with all the original weird and wacky stuff.
If you weren’t a fan of the original, this one won’t change your mind
is. Even if it takes a bit to get started, you’ll be thrilled when it does. However, if you were a fan and want more story, you can’t go wrong with this, albeit unnecessary, but welcome sequel. 4 Bob from 5.
