& here I thought I was the only one who loved what they did with the house

It's seem loads of them can't truly distinguish what's the other side is like.But this is a strange way of putting it into "ahem" art.

My parents absolutely hated this movie, as they bought me the VHS for Christmas one year and I played it over and over until it physically wore out. Now I can tell them I was simply ensuring that I'd properly absorbed all these very important lessons. :halloween2

All the times I've seen this movie and I never noticed the knife in the shark. For shame on me.

Nice fuckin' article *Honk Honk!*

That shark attack dead guy looks eerily like Jambi from Peewee's Playhouse.

Mecca Lecca High, Mecca Hiney Hoooooly-shit-there's-a-shark-eating-my-leg!

Then there's the indirect thing you learn from this film.

If you're effective enough after death, you'll get a second chance at life as the Goddamn Batman.

I learned that Johnny Depp needs to file a restraining order against Burton so he can go back to making awesome movies like this and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure instead of shoehorning Depp into more stupid "reimaginings" of stories that were fine just the way they were.

Other things I've learned from Beetlejuice: #1 You catch more flies w/ Zagnut bars then with vinegar & honey combined. #2 Apparently you have to be dead, know "Juno" and reside in "The Neitherworld" in order to get that whore house miniature to complete your set. *damn* #3 Danny Elfman also likes Tim Burton movies...and prefers the Betelgeuse spelling, rather then the Beetlejuice alternative. (not really)

Regarding #3. That was just the waiting room. So it's possible that after processing and basic instruction, the dead can change their appearance however they like.

I would agree with you, but as soon as they leave the waiting room, we see a guy who actually works there who was flattened by a car. If he's been working there for a while and is unable to alter his appearance, I'm guessing nobody else can.

No Rog, he was just feeling a little flat that day.

Jesus, watch out for the tumbleweed

On another note, never noticed the rattlesnake in the sleeping bag before, man I love this film
