  • Summary

  • Say it three times: Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! This week, we’re diving into the wonderfully weird world of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice and its late-’80s/early ‘90s cartoon spin-off. From Lydia Deetz’s iconic goth-girl aesthetic to the unexpectedly charming chaos of season 2 episode 2’s “Spooky Boo-tique”, we’re celebrating the eerie brilliance that made this franchise a staple of our childhoods.


    Also in this episode: The fashion of Lydia Deetz—Winona vs. cartoon version (and some great Halloween costume ideas since it’s never too early). Tim Burton as our, and many spooky girls around the world’s, Goth Dad. And a very questionable friendship between a 600 year old repulsive man and a 12 year old girl.


    Plus, we’re spilling our childhood connections to Beetlejuice, from PBS show tie-ins to Kaycee’s pink emo hair days, and pondering our next fashion evolution…goth revival or caftan chic?
