"Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" is haunting its audience 36 years after the release of the original and, in keeping with the vibe of the 1988 film that put calypso back in rotation — starring a 16-year-old Winona Ryder as spooky goth Lydia Deetz — there's a whole new batch of earworms — scratch that . . . sandworms — to become sonically possessed by.
The sequel, in part, revolves around a grown-up Lydia reluctantly reuniting with Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) to save her daughter Astrid (Jenna Ortega) after she gets tricked into swapping lives with a parricidal ghost boy named Jeremy (Arthur Conti), narrowly avoiding being trapped in the afterlife.
