\"\"<\/a>We\u2019re nearing the beginning of October so as is the mandate to keep reality from collapsing, we have another Tim Burton classic re-released and updated. Burton\u2019s horror comedy classic \u201cBeetlejuice\u201d gets another big re-release for physical media collectors, allowing fans to re-visit the demented and dark supernatural comedy in a 4K UHD upgrade. Of course Burton\u2019s film is being released in various other editions online, including Steelbook.<\/p>\n

After married couple Barbara (Geena Davis) and Adam Maitland (Alec Baldwin) die in a car accident, they\u2019re stuck haunting their old country residence, unable to leave the house. After the unbearable Deetzes (Catherine O\u2019Hara, Jeffrey Jones) and Goth teen daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder) buy the home, the Maitlands attempt to scare them away unsuccessfully. They attract the attention though of Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), a vile and mischievous spirit whose \u201chelp\u201d quickly becomes dangerous for the Maitlands and innocent Lydia\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

Despite its age, \u201cBeetlejuice\u201d is still a very good horror comedy that practices in some of the most bizarre set pieces and sequences Burton\u2019s probably ever filmed. From the musical number where Beetlejuice possesses a whole party of guests, to the whole giant worm monster, you\u2019ll have a hard time being bored during this classic. Burton\u2019s film is one of the many from his oeuvre that feels absolutely timeless, and that\u2019s helped by the way Burton consistently drifts in and out of the harrowing supernatural and zany reality. \u201cBeetlejuice\u201d isn\u2019t my favorite from Burton\u2019s legacy, but it\u2019s easy to sit through, a lot of fun, and garners a slew of excellent performances, including Michael Keaton, who is incomparable as the titular spirit.<\/p>\n

The 4K UHD disc comes with a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, and English Dolby Atmos (English 7.1 Dolby TrueHD compatible), French (Canada) 5.1 Dolby Digital, German 5.1 Dolby Digital, Italian 5.1 Dolby Digital, Spanish (Castilian) 5.1 Dolby Digital, Chinese 5.1 Dolby Digital, and Czech.<\/p>\n

The new release comes with the standard Blu-Ray from the previous release and a Digital Code for consumers. The new release doesn\u2019t pack in any new or dynamic features as it includes a Music-Only Track, and the original theatrical trailer in an SD presentation. Finally, there are three episodes from the classic 1989 \u201cBeetlejuice\u201d animated series, all of which are presented in SD.<\/p>\n
