Lucky Loo Loo Green chose this week's pick and it's Tim Burton classic from 1988, Beetlejuice!

Beetlejuice was characterized by its unique blend of dark humor, fantasy, and inventive visual style.

Collaborating with screenwriters Michael McDowell and Warren Skaaren, Burton crafted a screenplay that balanced humor with horror and fantasy elements, creating a bizarre and captivating world.

The film's production also benefited from the creative talents of its cast, including Michael Keaton as the eccentric Beetlejuice, Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as the hapless Maitland couple, and Winona Ryder as the gothic teenager Lydia Deetz. The elaborate sets, innovative practical effects, and colorful costume design contributed to the film's distinct visual aesthetic, transporting audiences to a fantastical world filled with eccentric characters and supernatural occurrences. Despite initial skepticism from studio executives, Beetlejuice went on to become a critical and commercial success, solidifying its status as a beloved cult classic and a defining entry in Tim Burton's filmography.
