“Beetlejuice” was also directed by Tim Burton and released in 1988. The story follows a recently deceased couple, Adam and Barbara Maitland, who find themselves trapped in their home as ghosts. When a new family moves into their house, the Maitlands are determined to scare them away. In desperation, they seek the help of a mischievous and eccentric spirit named Beetlejuice, who specializes in “bio-exorcism” and promises to rid the house of the living. However, as Beetlejuice’s chaotic methods escalate, the situation spirals out of control, and the Maitlands must find a way to protect themselves and the new family from the destructive spirit.
