Beetlejuice is back from the dead. Well, he's still dead, but the juice is loose... again. After a nearly 40 year wait, the highly anticipated sequel to the cult classic horror-comedy is hitting theaters on September 6, bringing with it the return of sandworms, supernatural shenanigans, and, of course, the infamous shape-shifting specter.
That's right! Not only is Tim Burton back in the director's chair, but Michael Keaton is reprising his role as Betelgeuse while Winona Ryder returns as Lydia Deetz. You'll also recognize Catherine O’Hara as Delia Deetz. Joining the cast is Jenna Ortega as Astrid (Lydia's daughter) along with Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, and Willem Dafoe.
"The original was such a strange, unique movie, and I loved it," says Ree Drummond of the 1988 film. The new movie will once more follow the Deetz family as they come into contact with the demon exorcist again—and if you (like Ree) are not-so-patiently awaiting the release of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, we've got some news that will make your millenium.
Though saying his name three times can summon the mischievous spirit of the afterlife, in today's world, you don't need otherworldly powers to bring him right to your tv screen. In fact, you can easily watch and stream the original Beetlejuice ahead of the sequel's premiere. Just read on to learn how you can watch Beetlejuice at home.

If you want to catch up with "the ghost with the most" ahead of the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice release, there are several ways you can watch the kooky and comedic tale of the afterlife. Basically, it's showtime!
