ABC Family began their 13 Nights of Halloween movie marathon on Monday, and I was excited to see, based on the previews, that at least 3 Johnny Depp and/or Tim Burton movies were included - "Edward Scissorhands" (which happens to be one of my favorite movies of all time), "Corpse Bride" and "Beetlejuice."
So, in honor of this, I'm sharing with you this little gem: one of the funniest scenes in a Tim Burton film, and that's saying a lot because he has a whacky sense of humor.
It's from "Beetlejuice." And just for a little backstory, and the reason this scene is so funny: they are being possessed, basically, by Beetlejuice, who is a "bio-exorcist" helping a recently deceased couple scare away the new residents of their house which they now haunt. Ridiculous, right? But I love it.
"Beetlejuice" will air as part of the 13 Nights of Halloween tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC Family.
(I believe "Edward Scissorhands" is scheduled to premiere at 8 p.m. on Sunday)
I'm curious why Nightmare Before Christmas was never included in the 13 Nights line-up. It's definitely more of a Halloween movie than Christmas movie. But I guess they can't have Tim Burton completely dominate their schedule, no matter how amazing he is.
