The first Beetlejuice movie is one of my all-time favorite movies. A second Beetlejuice movie is scheduled to be released this fall. I LOVE that the original actors are in this new Beetlejuice! And the new faces such as Jenna Ortega.
The trailer is a great tease: Who died? Who called Beetlejuice back?! This is going to be amazing!!! I want extra butter on my popcorn and a comfy blanket! LOL. I can’t wait!
You can read plot summaries or a synopsis of the 1988 Beetlejuice on the imdb.com website HERE.
Wikipedia also has a page for the first Beetlejuice movie at this LINK and summarizes the movie:
In Winter River, Connecticut, Barbara and Adam Maitland decide to spend their vacation decorating their idyllic country home. As they are driving home from a trip to town, Barbara swerves to avoid a dog, and the car plunges into the river. After returning home, she and Adam notice they now lack reflections.
When Adam attempts to leave the house, he ends up in a strange and otherworldly desert-like landscape populated by enormous “sandworms”. The encounter lasts only a few seconds for him, but after Barbara rescues him, she says he was gone for two hours. They then find a Handbook for the Recently Deceased, which leads them to realize they drowned in the river and have become ghosts.
The house is sold, and the new owners, the Deetz family, arrive from New York City. Charles Deetz is a former real estate developer; his second wife, Delia, is a sculptor and conceptual artist; and his teenage goth daughter, Lydia, from his first marriage, is an aspiring photographer. Under the guidance of interior designer Otho, the family transforms the house into a new-wave work of postmodern art.

The trailer for the second Beetlejuice movie (called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) can be viewed at this YouTube link. The plot is being kept quiet. From Entertainment Weekly comes this:
The sequel picks up decades later with a death in the family. “That’s all I will say,” Burton tells EW in an interview. “There’s something that happens that sets things in motion.” Could that be the death of Lydia’s father, Charles Deetz (Jeffrey Jones)? The director plays coy: “We’ll see.” One thing’s for sure, Beetlejuice comes back into play.
