See the most agreed on films →A recently deceased couple find their peaceful afterlife disrupted when a loud, obnoxious family moves into their beloved home. Frustrated and unable to scare the new inhabitants away themselves, they reluctantly enlist the help of a crude and chaotic freelance bio-exorcist named Beetlejuice. They soon discover that harnessing his wild power is a dangerous gamble, as his methods are as destructive as they are effective, threatening to make a bad situation infinitely worse.
