It was directed by Tim Burton and written by Michael McDowell and Warren Skaaren based on a story treatment by McDowell and Larry Wilson. It was produced by the Geffen Company and released theatrically in the United States on March 30th, 1988. The film stars Michael Keaton as the titular "ghost with the most", Beetlejuice - a self-proclaimed bio-exorcist that can be summoned to help out with your house-haunting needs by saying his name three times. The film also stars Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as newly-made apparitions, Adam and Barbara Maitland. Serving as the foil to Maitland's efforts to rid their house of unwanted residents is Jeffrey Jones as Charles Deetz, Catherine O'Hara as his wife, Delia Deetz as well as their new age occultist friend Otho, played by Glenn Shadix.
