I hope the afterlife is this much fun!

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 1999)

I loved this movie from the first time I saw it when I was about 6 or 7, but 10 years later I'm fully able to appreciate the subtle adult humor. This is probably my favorite "scary" movie. The plot is great and the actors really bring the characters to life, (or afterlife in most cases.) The waiting room scenes are great, but my two most favorite sequences are the snake railing and the end where Beetlejuice lets loose. I hope for a sequel, and yet I hope they never make a sequel at the same time, because it just wouldn't do it justice. The cartoon didn't even do the movie justice, what happened to Adam and Barbara? And why did Lydia become such good friends with Beetlejuice? The special effects in this movie are excellent, especially for the time the movie was made. Too bad filmmakers today don't rely more on their own creations rather than computers.
