Bug Juice: Ah
Story
A dead couple is haunted by an insufferable family who has moved into their home, and they hire a malevolent spirit to drive them away. This is Michael Keaton’s favorite movie. After the walls of the house are spray painted, Otho changes from his fire engine red leprechaun shoes to white sneakers as he walks through the bathroom and then back to red. elf shoes as he enters the next room. Adam: What are your qualifications? Well… I went to Juilliard… I graduated from Harvard Business School.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I travel quite a lot. I lived through the Black Death and had fun doing it. I’ve seen the exorcist about ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY SEVEN TIMES and EACH TIME I SEE IT IS MORE ENJOYABLE… Not to mention you’re talking to a DEAD NUMBER… Do you think I’m qualified? The Geffen Company logo is accompanied by a haunting version of the Banana Boat song (sung by the film’s composer Danny Elfman). There have been some added/alternate scenes in the making of the film. This version of the movie is about 2 minutes shorter than the theatrical release, has some extra scenes and some others are missing, is in black and white, and has a timecode at the bottom.
Cut to Terror Toons (2002)
This version has 4 main differences: Alternate Scene: The scene where Adam tried to leave the house after he and his wife died is different. Instead of a desert, he sees an empty darkness full of spinning gears. Additional Scenes: There is another scene where Lydia develops the pictures she took of Adam and Barbra. Then, when her mother yells at her and accuses her of cutting her sheets, Lydia runs upstairs and tries to convince her father that the pictures are real. There’s a lot more to the scene where the adults search the attic for ghosts, as we see a desert monster try to eat Adam and Barbra while they’re hanging from the attic window. Finally, there is an extra 2 minute scene at the end where we see Lydia riding her bike home from school and her parents talking to Jane on the phone telling her they don’t want to sell the house. Lydia’s dance scene is shorter in this version, and there is no scene with Beetlejuice in the waiting room. The film ends with the last exterior shot of the house.

Attaway & Irving Burgie [Wrongly written by William A. Attaway & Irving Burgie (as Lord Burgess)] Performed by Harry Belafonte, courtesy of RCA Records. This is a great movie to just watch and enjoy – no need to think or analyze – just enjoy the silliness and coolness of this beautiful film. A young couple (Alec Baldwin and Gina Davis) living in their dream house accidentally died and then live in the house as ghosts. Some time later, a strange family (Jeffery Jones, Catherine O'Hara) and their disgruntled daughter (Winona Ryder) move into an apartment – largely with ghosts' irritation. This is because instead of respecting the charm of a beautiful home, parents want to turn it into a seemingly intelligent madhouse. However, Winona is somehow able to see the ghosts and communicate with them – but her parents cannot believe that they exist or that they are doing something bad to the house. A dead couple tries to scare the family, but their attempts are so lame (and hilarious) that it only makes the weirdos want to stay even more!
The actors also do a great job
So, out of desperation, they seek out the worst and most disgusting spirit, Bug Juice (Michael Keaton), to help them. The problem is, while Bug Juice can scare anyone, he’s also a total badass, and once he’s unleashed, he’s incredibly hard to stop. The movie is full of many things that you can expect. see in the movie directed by Tim Burton – weird special effects, weird set (when the weirdos moved the house), funny and clear “cool factor”.
