Editors' Picks: Not-So-Scary Movies For Scaredy Cats8 of 17
Beetlejuice | Available for rent on VOD
Plot: The spirits of a deceased couple are harassed by an unbearable family that has moved into their home, and hire a malicious spirit to drive them out.
Our Take: Beetlejuice is overflowing with Tim Burton's macabre imagery, which makes it a perfect Halloween staple. But it's all in service of a dark comedy that won't send anyone running to hide behind the couch. Michael Keaton steals the show as the title character, but the performances of Catherine O'Hara and Winona Ryder are worth revisiting, too. — James
