Beetlejuice: Handbook For The Recently Deceased (80's Classics)

Product Information

Now fans can enjoy this deluxe journal, which is an authentic replica of the Handbook for the Recently Deceased used by the characters in the film. Several actresses auditioned for the role of Lydia Deetz, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Brooke Shields, Lori Loughlin, Diane Lane, Justine Bateman, Molly Ringwald, Juliette Lewis, and Jennifer Connelly.

Others commented on it not being like in the film, but it's as described by the seller, to make an exact replica would cost much more and, in my mind be less useful, as this is a notebook made to look like the book.

He saves the Maitlands and disposes of Maxie, his wife, and Otho, then prepares a wedding before a ghastly minister.

When lydia read the handbook over the course of three months, she seemed to understand it much better than they did, even if she isn’t dead herself. Hallenbeck praised the film's lively script, assured direction, offbeat casting, and "delightfully off-kilter, Edward Gorey-like look", citing the explorer with the shrunken head and the animated sandworm as particularly memorable visuals. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce.

The character of Betelgeuse—envisioned in the first draft, as a winged demon, who takes on the form of a short Middle Eastern man—is also intent on killing the Deetzes rather than scaring them, and wanted sex from Lydia instead of marriage. In another version of the script, the film concludes with the Maitlands, Deetzes, and Otho conducting an exorcism ritual that destroys Betelgeuse and the Maitlands transforming into miniature versions of themselves and moving into Adam's model of their home, which they refurbish to look like their house before the Deetzes moved in. Burton read their first draft of Beetlejuice, liked it but had other projects that kept him from becoming involved at that time. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.They’d be the kind of people able to understand something super over complicated as a handbook for dead people. Skaaren's first draft retained some of McDowell's Betelgeuse's more sinister characteristics, but toned the character down to make him a troublesome pervert rather than blatantly murderous. Celebrate your love of Beetlejuice with this deluxe journal based on the hit movie, just in time for the thirtieth anniversary in 2018. Skaaren had Barbara and Adam encounter different limbos every time they leave their home, including the "clock world" and the sandworm world, identified as Saturn's moon Titan.

It also featured deleted scenes such as the real-estate agent, Jane, trying to convince the Deetzes to allow her to sell the house for them (having sold it to them in the first place—Charles and Delia decline), and a revelation of how Beetlejuice had died centuries earlier (he attempted to hang himself while drunk—having been rejected by a woman—only to mess it up and die slowly choking to death, rather than quickly by snapping his neck) and wound up working for Juno before striking out on his own as a "freelance bio-exorcist".
