Watch behind the scenes footage from the special effects workshop making the 1988 horror comedy classic movie Beetlejuice.

As part of their CinemaCon 2023 panel, Warner Bros. announced that Beetlejuice 2 is going to happen. (At this moment, there are no official confirmations of cast members for the sequel.)

The original 1988 movie Beetlejuice—the classic horror-comedy directed by Tim Burton—told the story of a ghostly husband and wife trying to stop their  home from being completely remodeled by its new residents, and calling on the titular bio-exorcist. The movie included stars Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice, plus Winona Ryder, Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin, Catherine O’Hara, and Glenn Shadix, among others.

The original film is one of the most loved horror comedy movies of all time. Beetlejuice has gone on to inspire a cartoon TV show, video games, and a popular stage musical. There is even a cookbook on the way!
