Beetlejuice might have some of the most recognizable characters and distinctive aesthetics of the ’80s, but Michael Keaton didn’t set out to make some sort of two-dimensional recurring Saturday Night Live character. He created the character of Betelgeuse for the love of the art, man. Betelgeuse was comic but also awful, a true whirling dervish of a ghoul, and now he’s a Halloween costume.
“To be honest with you—I’m being very frank—it was off-putting, to look and go, ‘I don’t want to look like all these little things, fuck that—what was the thing that started this?’” Perhaps the idea that the weird world of Beetlejuice had become so commercialized is why Keaton resisted making a sequel for so long. Director Tim Burton previously said his star “had no burning desire to do” a sequel “unless it felt right,” so obviously, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice felt pretty right to him.
