Consider this timeline: director Tim Burton makes Pee-wee’s Big Adventure in 1985 with huge financial success. As a result, Warner Bros. is willing to pay for him to develop a script for the next movie he wants to make, but not quite ready to green-light its production, so he takes a job directing Beetlejuice. In the process he gets Michael Keaton to play the titular haunter, who he would eventually also put in the famous Batman cape and cowl. So from 1985 to 1990, Tim Burton makes Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Batman and Edward Scissorhands. That’s maybe the weirdest run of four enormously successful movies in a row ever. And Beetlejuice is the first time we see Tim Burton fully being himself – full of his insectile, spindly horror designs, perfectly cast and dripping with his macabre and misandristic sense of humor, Beetlejuice immediately found its way into audiences’ hearts. Plus, desert sandworms are really hot right now.
Join us for the original Beetlejuice and to celebrate Tampa Theatre’s 98th birthday on the day we opened, October 15!
Tickets for Mummy & Me screenings are $10 for adults ($7 for members) and FREE for kids ages 12 & younger. Beetlejuice is rated PG for scary images, mild profanity (including one use of the f-word), and crude humor.
