Death Becomes Her
Why this pick
Its glossy, darkly comic view of death and vanity matches Beetlejuice’s gleeful morbidity, extravagant production design, and escalating supernatural chaos.

The Addams Family
Why this pick
Offers the same affectionate delight in the grotesque: deadpan jokes, ornate gothic interiors, eccentric family dynamics, and a playful rather than punishing macabre mood.
04
Housebound
Why this pick
A sharply comic haunted-house tale with unruly spirits and oddball characters, delivering Beetlejuice-like supernatural mischief while keeping the mystery and scares lively.
05
The Happiness of the Katakuris
Why this pick
This wildly stylized musical black comedy shares Beetlejuice’s cheerful embrace of death, abrupt tonal playfulness, grotesque humor, and handcrafted visual surprises.
