Telling ghost stories (especially if you\u2019re gathered around a roaring bonfire) is one of the spookiest ways to channel the mystical magic of Halloween<\/a>. While there are certainly a lot<\/em> of terrifying tales that speak to the scariness of the season, the ultimate ghost story might just be the classic 1988 horror-comedy Beetlejuice<\/em> and its 2024 sequel, Beetlejuice<\/em> Beetlejuice<\/em>. In both of these dark fantasy films, haunting spirits steal the spotlight\u2014namely the \u201cGhost with the Most,\u201d a boisterous, mischief-making \u201cbio-exorcist\u201d named Beetlejuice.<\/p>\n The original Beetlejuice<\/em> film, filled with chaos and comedy, remains a classic Halloween movie<\/a> decades later. Tim Burton’s quirky, imaginative tale with a creepy twist follows a recently deceased couple who summons a rambunctious spirit named Beetlejuice to help them scare away the family who has moved into their old home, which, in the afterlife, they\u2019re stuck haunting.<\/p>\n Nearly 35 years later, the sequel to the fan-favorite funny and fantastical film premiered, which brought with it the return of sand worms, supernatural shenanigans, and, of course, the infamous shape-shifting specter. In the modern follow-up, which has all the ghoulish humor, haunted happenings, \u201880s nostalgia<\/a>, and iconic characters (along with a few new faces) of the first film, the Deetz family accidentally sets \u201cThe Juice\u201d loose while cleaning out the attic after the patriarch’s death. And everyone is forced to deal with the invoked trouble brewing in both realms.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re hoping to watch either (or both!) of these horror-comedy movies<\/a> to get in the Halloween spirit, luckily, you can do so from the comfort of your home. Though saying Beetlejuice\u2019s name three times can summon the mischievous spirit, in today’s world, you don’t need otherworldly powers to bring him right to your TV screen. To enjoy all the dark humor and paranormal charm of these cult classics, we\u2019re breaking down exactly how to watch Beetlejuice<\/em> and its sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice<\/em>, without leaving your couch.<\/p>\n
