Today marks the thirtieth anniversary of the premiere of Beetlejuice. The film follows a couple who die and must haunt their former house to stop a yuppie family from ruining it while contending with a dastardly ghost. The film was a success with fans and critics, eventually becoming the tenth highest grossing film of the year. It became a springboard for director Tim Burton and star Michael Keaton to move onto greater success with Batman the following year. The success led to an animated series, video games, stage musical, and numerous talks of a sequel. The film features the talents of Jack Angel providing the voice of the preacher.
