BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE | Official Teaser Trailer | Warner Bros.

By the end of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” I was fully convinced that Michael Keaton really is a ghost.

The nuclear sludge wig and drunken clown makeup help, of course, however Keaton’s sonic boom of energy as the filthy bio-exorcist goes far beyond what most 72-year-old men can muster. His Beetlejuice remains a trailer-trash triumph.This belabored movie, which is much more serious than its predecessor and takes nearly an hour to take off, feels like it lasts a Day-O.

) dad and Delia Deetz’s husband from the first flick has just been chewed up by a shark. Lydia’s spouse Richard, with whom she has a daughter named Astrid , was killed on an Amazon trek. And Lydia’s new boyfriend Rory’s wife is six feet under, too.Lydia, who was the only living person in the first film who could see the recently deceased Maitlands , is now the host of a paranormal TV show called “Ghost House” — a lazy and dated idea.

Besides Danny Elfman’s mischievous original score, memorable sequences are told with Richard Marx’s “Right Here Waiting,” the Bee Gees’ “Tragedy” and even a loving nod to Brian De Palma. Richard Harris’ “MacArthur Park” gets the “Day-O” treatment.
