Listen to this episode from Horror Queers on Spotify. To tie into Tim Burton's new sequel, we're revisiting the 1988 classic Beetlejuice.Trace has a funny backstory with the film, while Joe barely has a connection to it. We both agree, however, that the film is a creative triumph, with amazing characters and boundless background details that flesh out the world.Plus: multiple queer elements, the film's obsession with suicide, the animated cartoon and the musical adaptation, and why Delia is *the* best character.Reference: Tori Williams.
