Notes
Also Known As:Beetlejuice (USA) (alternative spelling)
The Maitlands (USA) (working title)
Trivia: Originally planned as a supernatural drama entitled "The Maitlands", about a deceased couple dealing with the troubles of the afterlife. The scenes were scripted much more morbidly than they appear (most notably the waiting room scenes, which were supposed to be particularly ghoulish), and most of the characters were much darker. Only when Michael Keaton began filming his scenes and asked for creative freedom did Tim Burton realize the potential of a dark comedy. (more)
Goofs: Continuity: When Lydia takes pictures of the ghosts, she's using a Polaroid camera. When she shows Delia the photos (and the photos that are seen later on) they aren't Polaroids at all, they are big pictures. (more)
