I Love Beetlejuice

The Ghost with the Most :)

Beetlejuice is my all time favorite movies. Hands down, no other competitor. I have loved it since I was a kid. I used to play the tape soundtrack over and over and over when I was in my room. To this day, I still love it. I love it so much that I am thinking of having a Beetlejuice-themed birthday party for Matt and I.

I need ideas! And while I’m brainstorming, I’ll just share some random stuff with you :)

Below is a clip from the end of the movie that always cracks me up. He steals the “4″ and acts like its no big deal, LOL!

And when I was a kid, one part I really thought was “scary” was when Otho decides to bring back Adam & Barbara so everyone can “see” the ghosts in human form…

Now I have no “favorite” part because each scene is equally amazing and fun.

I found this photo on the internet, from back in the day, of the cast just goofing off while filming one of the last scenes in the movie:

My love for this movie has instilled a deep, irrefutable love for Michael Keaton, Catherine O’Hara, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Winona Ryder, and Jeffrey Jones. No matter what these people do now, I still love them! Especially Michael, Catherine & Alec! :)

Here’s a photo of Miss Argentina (“If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have had my little accident”). She’s minor in the film but a classic Burton-type character. She would be a good, relatively easy to create Halloween costume!

And then when I was looking at Beetlejuice toys on Amazon, I found these really neat little action figures! I want them all :) I wouldn’t even open them but you know I want them!! :) They are around $50 each, though, so I doubt that will be happening any time soon! Check out the one of the guy who smoked too many cigarettes (“Tryin’ to quit, myself!”):

So funny! They also have classic Beetlejuice, Lydia (in her signature red wedding dress) as well as Otho & the Beetlejuice snake. I can’t get over how funny these are and how much I want ‘em!

Another favorite are Barbara and Adam as their monster version of themselves. (When Juno tells them they need to be scary):

and…

Adam as a monster

If you’ve seen the movie, you know how dead-on these little action figures are! I was thinking (before I saw the price of them) that they could be the toppers of mini-cakes and there could be one mini-cake per table at the party. But now that they’re $50 each (or more), I’ll have to come up with something else. There are other Beetlejuice figurines out there that are pretty cheap, so I could do all Beetlejuice? The other characters mixed in would be funnier, though.

Or I could do ONE big Beetlejuice cake with just black and white decorations? What do you think? Check out this Beetlejuice cake I found online:

That’s probably one of the better ones I have seen on the internet!

Okay, put your thinking caps on and let me know of any good ideas! :)

    Love your ideas, and that cake is seriously AMAZING. I’m a fan of Beetlejuice too but not quite as much as you. Labyrinth is to me like Beetlejuice is to you, so I totally understand wanting all the figurines. If only they weren’t so pricy, cause having just one isn’t good enough, must collect them all!nnYou should not only have all the themed decorations but you should make it a costume party as well. If people can’t pull off the Beetlejuice characters, they could just dress up as a dead version of themselves. I’m dying to see what you come up with… hah see what I did there? lol
