Best Beetlejuice Quotes
Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!
Beetlejuice (1988) follows the ghosts of a recently “diseased” couple who are harassed by an absolutely annoying family that has moved into their humble abode. In an attempt to get rid of the intruders, they hire a malevolent spirit to drive them out. If you’re familiar with gothic visionary Tim Burton (Mars Attacks!, Edward Scissorhands) then you know his famous directing style. If you know how famous Burton is for his style, then you know how quotable his films are.
Beetlejuice stars Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Michael Keaton, and Winona Ryder. Beetlejuice doesn’t shy away from crude humor and outlandish imagery, which in part is why we love it. Most of the film’s crude humor comes from the main star of the show himself, Beetlejuice. To celebrate this Tim Burton classic, we’ve collected the creepiest, spookiest, and funniest Beetlejuice quotes that will have you screaming till the credits!
