TRACK #231:

Beetlejuice (Main Titles) by Danny Elfman

We haven’t had a good Horror Theme here in a spell and it’s also been a while since we’ve had a visit Shindig All-Star Danny Elfman.

So, we’ll take care of both here with this addition that’s been waiting too long in the attic to pop out and scare us all.

What can we say about Beetlejuice that hasn’t been said? If you’re reading this, chances are we don’t need to tell you how great this film is, but I’m sure I’ll tack on at least a couple sentences below this that will do just that. So, who am I kidding exactly?

Arguably Tim Burton’s finest contribution to the world, everything from it’s off-beat story, wonderful production design, inspired special FX and iconic titular performance from Michael Keaton all coalesce to make this a bona fide horror comedy classic that has truly stood the test of time. I’m still shocked to see how much Beetlejuice shit I see around on Halloween. Hell, I just saw one of those obnoxious inflatable lawn decorations in a store that was a sandworm! It was the first one I ever even remotely considered putting on the front lawn.

And that is to say nothing of Danny Elfman’s amazing score, which fits this film like a black and white striped suit.

So grab a sheet, you’re handbook for the recently deceased and let’s scare the hell out of the Deetz’s!

It’s showtime!
