See It On 16mm starts the new year off with Tim Burton’s original 1988 horror comedy Beetlejuice!
The story follows a recently deceased couple, Adam and Barbara Maitland (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis), who find themselves stuck haunting their beloved home when an eccentric and obnoxious family moves in. Desperate to reclaim their house, the Maitlands unwittingly summon Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), a mischievous and unpredictable “bio-exorcist” from the netherworld, to scare away the new occupants. Chaos ensues as Beetlejuice’s antics spiral out of control, leading to an alliance with the couple’s unexpected ally, the quirky and goth-spirited Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder).
With its offbeat humor, imaginative visuals, and Keaton’s iconic performance, Beetlejuice has become a cult classic and a cornerstone of Burton’s unique filmmaking style.
