Tim Burton | USA | 1988 | 92m

Throughout March we fondly remember late, great Canadian actor and comedian Catherine O'Hara (1954-2026) with a select range of films screening on Saturday nights. We look back at O'Hara's career via an early role in Martin Scorsese's neo-noir comedy After Hours (1985), to her iconic turn in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice (1988) and a lead part in Christopher Guest's ensemble mockumentary Waiting For Guffman (1996).

O’Hara’s Delia Deetz, the narcissistic artist stepmom of Lydia Deetz, was a supporting character and frequent scene-stealer in this classic horror comedy.

After Barbara and Adam Maitland die in a car accident, they find themselves stuck haunting their country residence, unable to leave the house. When the unbearable Deetzes and teen daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder) buy the home, the Maitlands attempt to scare them away without success. Their efforts attract Beetlejuice, a rambunctious ghoul whose help quickly becomes dangerous for the Maitlands and innocent Lydia.

Brilliantly bizarre and overflowing with ideas, Beetlejuice offers some of Michael Keaton's most deliciously manic work - and creepy, funny fun for the whole family.

"The story almost comes off the rails, but Beetlejuice's charm lies more in the execution. The movie is crammed with visual invention and snappy comedy." - Steve Rose, The Guardian
