The fact that they’re getting O’Hara and Ryder back for this movie already has me excited.

I just hope that whatever daddy issues that Burton had that he let infect his movies in the mid 2000s are resolved.

I loved the original and while not usually a big fan of sequels, absolutely on board, especially for Keaton and O’Hara.

All Danny Elfman scores are the perfect music for working alongside.

Oh, there will be so many more Beetlejuices at the front door this Halloween. And Lydia/Astrids - I foresee mother-daughter teams. The costume companies must be licking their chops.

Huh! And they got most of the original cast back! That's pretty rad.

This is a great writeup and as someone who rather liked the original (and the cartoon!) I think this is worth a watch.

I just cannot wait! Apparently there is a Mrs Beetlejuice this time around (Monica Bellucci, with whom 007 had an especially zipless tryst in Spectre). That’ll keep him in line. Still, the daughter-prowling in the original was straight out of fairy tales, even if it’s unacceptable today.
