Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice is a film that was directed by Tim Burton in which two recently deceased ghosts, Adam Maitland (Alec Baldwin) and his wife Barbara (Geena Davis) seek the help of an obnoxious bio-exorcist, Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton) to remove the Deitz family - yuppies who recently moved from the city - who now occupy their old house.

The name of the film is the phonetic pronunciation of the lead character's name Betelgeuse who shares his name with a large red star in the constellation of Orion. Repeating this name three times is all that is required to summon him.

A typically dark and humorous Tim Burton film, most of Keaton's lines were apparently improvised on set. Notable appearances include a young Winona Ryder as Lydia Deitz.
