Living In: Beetlejuice

In Beetlejuice, a recently deceased husband and wife test their spooky skills in order to rid their house of its new owners. Hilarity, of course, ensues when they hire bio-exorcist Beetlejuice to aid in the fright show. An adorable Winona Ryder plays Lydia, the misunderstood daughter. Bonus: Lydia Deetz is an epic Halloween costume. All it takes is a big black hat, black dress, black shoes and an old camera. Poof! You’re practically a Halloween legend already!
Beetlejuice is now my ultimate fun Halloween flick. I honestly hadn’t seen it in 15 years and had only a vague recollection of stripes and the Day-O banana boat song. Silly me — I’ve been missing out all this time. This goofy mix of New England farmhouse meets Tim Burton kitschy kook is pitch-perfect for Halloween shenanigans.
