Beetlejuice is a film, directed by Tim Burton and first
released in the USA on March 30, 1988 by Warner Bros..
It features two recently deceased ghosts, Adam Maitland
(Alec Baldwin) and his wife Barbara (Geena Davis), who
seek the help of an obnoxious bio-exorcist, Betelgeuse
(Michael Keaton), to remove the Deitz family — yuppies
who recently moved from the city and now occupy their
old house. The Deitz family consists of Charles (Jeffrey
Jones), his second wife Delia (Catherine O'Hara), and
moody goth teenage daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder). The
name of the film is the phonetic pronunciation of the
lead character's name Betelgeuse who shares his name with
a large red star in the constellation of Orion.
