Beetlejuice is a 1988 horror comedy directed by Tim Burton about a recently deceased couple, and their efforts to keep their home from inhabitation via a "bio-exorcist" named Betelgeuse. The series spawned an animated spin-off of the same name from 1988 to 1991. Produced by Nelvana, it featured a rambunctious but more harmless Beetlejuice who routinely shape shifted and took human friend Lydia on adventures in "the Netherworld." 
The movie was also adapted as a Broadway musical in 2018 and received a theatrical sequel in 2024.
