Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has officially come to streaming, and because of this, it has become apparent that the Beetlejuice animated series holds many similarities to the new film. This show, like many other kids TV shows based on violent movies, takes the character of Beetlejuice and turns him more into a lovable nuisance and uncle-figure to Lydia Deetz than the menace he was in the original film. A change like this allowed showrunners to create a show that is appropriate and fun for all ages, exploring a new cast of wacky characters by depicting the afterlife as the colorful "Neitherworld."

Although the series and the original film have their fair share of differences, a few of the animation's best episodes are perfect for any fans of the movie. They evoke the feeling of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, operating as a peek into the film decades into the future. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is available to...

In a rare move, Tim Burton stepped in to direct the 1989 Beetlejuice cartoon that was based on his own film from a year before. Even though this animated sequel series initially came about due to the horror comedy being immensely successful, ironically, only the characters of Beetlejuice, Lydia Deetz, and Harry the Hunter (a.k.a. The Shrunken Headed Guy) were kept around. All the other names and faces featured in this cartoon were original creations. This not only included Lydias school pals such as Percy and Bertha, but also Beetlejuices new neighbors, like a pumped-up skeleton who was obsessed with his shape, a tap-dancing spider who used to be a famous cheerleader, and a very tall monster covered in red fur.

Along with Doomie (the werewolf/car hybrid) and two clowns named Scuzzo and Fuzzo (who are BJs rivals), it will always be a wonder as to why action...

Whether or not you side with Micheal Keatons recent comments about the scrapped Batgirl movie or that his Batman paved the way for cinematic universes, one of the actors most undeniable roles had to be in 1988s Beetlejuice. Thanks to Keatons hyperactive interpretation of the lead role a mischievous and gnarly ghost wanting nothing more than to cause havoc in the real world this big-screen combination of horror and comedy has easily evolved into a franchise.

The paranormal tricksters relationship with Lydia Deetz (played by a young Winona Ryder) is a connection unlike any other and, therefore, has transcended into other mediums, including video games, a stage musical (that was brought to an end and then revived) as well as an animated television show that lasted four seasons.

For this month’s installment of “TV Terrors” we revisit the animated series adaptation of Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice,“ which aired from 1989 to 1991 on ABC/Fox Network.

In the eighties and nineties, studios were never shy about taking mature intellectual properties and cashing in on them by giving them their own animated spinoffs for kids. Among the rather extensive list were direct G-rated adaptations like “Rambo,” “Conan,” “Ace Ventura,” and even “Police Academy.” One of the most notable, and more widely celebrated adaptations was of Tim Burton’s 1988 hit film Beetlejuice. While the original movie excelled in being as menacing, bizarre, and raunchy as possible, executive producers Tim Burton and David Geffen opted for a more kid friendly variation of the “Ghost with the Most” for the animated series.

Aimed more for the 8-12 Saturday morning cartoon demographic, the animated show thankfully stuck true to much of what made the movie so entertaining.

Real-world journalism comes with some occupational hazards, but usually death isn’t one of them. In the horror genre, on the other hand, members of the press find themselves in danger every time they get a hot lead on something weird and unexplained. Their tenacity never does them any good; one minute they’ve found the story of their career, the next they’re never heard from again.

Journalists often get in over their heads in horror. Something goes wrong in their investigation, and they end up becoming the story. As these five TV-anthology tales illustrate, digging for the truth can also mean digging your own grave.
