Barbara (Geena Davis) and Adam (Alec Baldwin) Maitland go on a vacation to decorate their beautiful New England country home. While driving back from town, they swerve to avoid a dog in the road, and instead plunge into the river after busting through a covered bridge. They return to their home, and realize they might be dead when they can't see their reflections in the mirror. They consult the "Handbook for the Recently Deceased", and confirm their suspicion to be true. Adam leaves the house in disbelief, but finds himself in an otherworldly place called Saturn, a strange dimension covered in sand and populated with giant worms.
When they return to their home for refuge, their house is sold to a new family from New York City, the Deetzes, which includes Charles (Jeffrey Jones), aspiring sculptor and Charles' second wife Delia (Catherine O'Hara), and Charles' goth daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder) from his first marriage. The Deetzes redecorate the idyllic home with a modern pastel theme that drives the Maitlands nuts! They learn that they must stay in the house for 125 years, and that if they want the Deetzes to leave they'll need to scare them out! So they hire Beetlejuice, a bio-exorcist who scares the living, for a living. But things turn crazy and eventually the Deetzes and the Maitlands want him out.
Beetlejuice is a great film for your backyard cinema event with family and friends, or outdoor movie screening with your entire community in attendance.
