BEETLEJUICE: The Bio-Exorcism Show Photographs & Comments from 2022

This apartment building balcony has apparently been haunted for fifteen years. It makes clever use of limited space. An eye-catching sign announces the show. The balcony wall is decorated with a few gravestones (from both Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas). And a trio of mechanical skulls lip-synch like background singers while Beetlejuice himself appears and disappears, dancing to a couple tunes from the film. Though billed as a show running every hour, what we saw looked like a digital projection looped to run every few minutes; perhaps there was something more on Halloween Night? In any case, this looks really good, and it is fun to see a home haunt looming over a major boulevard instead of tucked away on some quiet residential avenue.
