15 Movies That Are Just as Quirky and Gothic as “Beetlejuice”

Saying “Beetlejuice” three times won’t magically summon a sequel to the classic Tim Burton movie (though one is coming, eventually, according to Deadline), but it will remind you just how delightfully weird the OG horror-comedy is. Michael Keaton gave the role of the troublemaking spirit 110 percent, and his performance — coupled with the hilarious story of a deceased couple trying to protect their home from beyond the grave — gives the tale both its dark sense of humor and gothic edge. For that reason, finding movies like “Beetlejuice” can be tricky. Burton aside, not many directors can combine comedy and horror so effectively. However, the movies on this list will give you “Beetlejuice” vibes, either in style or in their irreverent approach to serving up scares.
