Thanks to the carelessness of a cute little dog, newlyweds
Geena Davis and
Alec Baldwin are killed in a freak auto accident. Upon arriving in the outer offices of Heaven, the couple finds that, thanks to a century's worth of bureaucratic red tape, they're on a long celestial waiting list. Before they can earn their wings,
Davis and
Baldwin must occupy their old house as ghosts for the next fifty years. Alas, the house is now owned by insufferable yuppies
Catherine O'Hara and
Jeffrey Jones. Horrified at the prospect of sharing space with these obnoxious interlopers,
Davis and
Baldwin do their best to scare
O'Hara and
Jones away, but their house-haunting skills are pathetic at best. In desperation, the ghostly couple engage the services of a veteran scaremeister: a yellow-haired, snaggle-toothed, profane, flatulent "gonzo" spirit named Beetlejuice (
Michael Keaton). The problem: Beetlejuice cannot be trusted-especially when he falls in love with
O'Hara and
Jones' gloomy, black-clad teenaged daughter
Winona Ryder.
Beetlejuice producer
David Geffen, director
Tim Burton, and composer
Danny Elfman were also involved in an animated TV-series spin-off.
