Since as far back as the 1980s people have been dressing up as their favorite Tim Burton creation, Beetlejuice. Michael Keaton did a straight bang up job as the the world’s favorite unlicensed contractor. Beetle juice is bug covered and rotting since he dided hundreds of years ago from the black plague. Since then, he’s become a sort of disease in and of himself. Cursing those who call out his name three times, Beetlejuice terroizes, manipulates and takes advantage of those he helps. His dry humor is also infectious.

Beetlejuice Costumes

Since Beetlejuice is super creepy, he-of course-is a Halloween costume favorite. Although the film debuted over 20 years ago, it has achieved cult status and is regarded as one of Tim Burton’s masterpieces. The animated sequences of sand worms foreshadow some of his later work including James and the Giant Peach and are also present in brief periods in his earlier film, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. While Pee Wee may be creepy, Beetlejuice is probably a bit scarier. Like in the monster sense.

For excellent Beetlejuice costumes look no farther, there are quite a few to choose from and at different quality and price points. Tim Burton would be proud of these recreations of his dark imagination. To be the extroverted trickster this Halloween, consider some halloween costume makeup to darken the eye area and some white for the face to give you that “dead” look. Different wigs look good with beetlejuice costumes, or just blow out your hair and add some grey or flour!
