  "I will go insane! And I will take you with me!" is a quote I have used way too much after seeing Beetlejuice as a kid.  Catherine O'Hara is just delightful as Delia and I hope she is returning for the sequel. She'd be a great crazy granny 😁

  Every time I watch this, I&apos;m more amazed by Catherine O&apos;Hare&apos;s performance. &nbsp;<br><br>The way she danced in perfect rhythm to Harry Bellefonte while holding a confused panicked look on her face was brilliant.

  &quot;She looks so young!&quot;<br>&quot;Yes, that&apos;s how time works.&quot;<br>Never change, George.

  Michael Keaton only had 14 minutes of screen time, which I think is part of what made his character so memorable. He didn&apos;t overstay his welcome. It made sense to make him a supporting character. It really allowed the film to focus on the family dynamic that was central to the plot. I just hope they do the same with the sequel.

  The show Community had a great Beetlejuice reference. Over the course of the first two seasons, it&apos;s said three times. The final time is a Halloween episode and someone dressed as Beetlejuice walks by in the background. It&apos;s a tiny moment that&apos;s easy to miss, but that sort of attention to detail for a throwaway joke is what made the show great.

  Love the Pratchett references!<br><br>Funnily enough, &apos;Mort&apos; was released in November of 1987, &apos;Beetlejuice&apos; was released in March of 1988, meaning that they were both being developed at more or less the exact same time.<br><br>It&apos;s funny that two very similar, classic works of media independently arrived at the same general idea at the same time, but the whole &quot;afterlife bureaucracy&quot; thing wasn&apos;t necessarily invented by either of them, and has had a couple of treatments both before and since.<br><br>On a somewhat related note, the late-&apos;80s and early-&apos;90s were a real renaissance period for funny goth films - Beetlejuice, The Addams Family (and sequel), The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands and the like were all released within a period of around five years. You also had the Batman films and their very intentional, stylized &quot;dark deco&quot; aesthetics, Bram Stoker&apos;s Dracula, Interview With The Vampire, etc. while in printed media you had Anne Rice, Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman&apos;s &apos;Sandman&apos; run, etc. and it all added up to a very unique moment in pop culture that I don&apos;t think gets talked about or acknowledged too much now and hasn&apos;t really been seen since.

  People who watch this now, don&apos;t realize that Tim Burton and his insane way of making movies you never forget was still relatively new. Yes, he had made Pee Wee&apos;s Big Adventure but with this one he really pulled out all the stops. This became such a massive hit allowed him to eventually make the first Batman movie.

  Fun fact: at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PIKbSEIEEg&amp;t=946">15:46</a> when he kicks the tree down, on set while filming that wasn&apos;t supposed to happen. So Keaton improvised on the spot with &quot;NICE FUCKING MODEL&quot; and they kept it in for the film

  Fun Fact:<br>Betelgeuse is the name of the alpha (or brightest) star in the Orion constellation rather than a galaxy; it is categorized as a red super giant and is believed to be nearing its&apos; final stages of &quot;life&quot; meaning it could go supernova at any time (though in reality Betelgeuse has almost certainly already exploded, but the light from that hasn&apos;t had enough time to reach us here on Earth yet).

  Loved the cartoon, where Beetlejuice instead of being a weirdo creep became Lydia&apos;s friend and played mischief on his neighbors
