Beetlejuice
(1988)
Warner Bros.
Directed by Tim Burton
The fifth pick in our family fright series is the classic, Beetlejuice. I'm not
sure I've ever met anyone who hasn't seen this movie but even if you have you
may not think of it as a Halloween movie. It's not. But it does have ghosts and
monsters and is a wonderful way to get your horror/comedy fix this time of
year. Michael Keaton is brilliant and at his best under the direction of Tim
Burton (as evidenced by his portrayals of Batman). Beetlejuice also stars Geena Davis, Alec
Baldwin, Winona Rider and Catherine O'Hara. It is a hilarious, raunchy, raucous
ride I can't imagine anyone not enjoying. The movie is rated PG so it should be
safe for most little ones. Put it on and shake, shake, shake senora.
