Before he was Batman, Michael Keaton was Beetlejuice. Or, rather, Betelgeuse - an unpleasant freelance poltergeist who's more trouble than he's worth. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Barbara and Adam Maitland take a chance on him to save their home from the very irritating, very alive, very present Deetz family. It's a recipe for hair-raising havoc and an absolute Halloween classic, so here's how to watch Beetlejuice online today.
Released in 1988 and directed by Tim Burton, Beetlejuice carries a PG rating (UK/US) and has a run time of 92 minutes. Full details of how to watch Beetlejuice online are below, and with the help of a good VPN, you'll be able to tune into your local streaming service of choice wherever you are.
Oh, didn't we mention that Barbara and Adam are no... longer of this world? Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin are brilliant as the recently deceased couple powerless to prevent Catherine O'Hara's Delia Deetz from renovating - read: making a complete mess of - their beloved home, which they now find themselves trapped in.
The original script was actually more horror than comedy, featuring a Beetlejuice intent on much worse than frights and giggles. A Beetlejuice that wasn't in fact, at all likeable. We're very glad it was toned down.
The make-up and costumes are mesmerising, fabulous enough to tempt even the most staunch anti-fancy dress brigade members into dabbling with some mascara and talcum powder this year, and some of the audiovisual effects are arguably even better.
Are you ready for a dose of the ghost with the most? Let's say it together... BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE! Yep, here's how to watch Beetlejuice online - whether you're of this world or not!
