The 2025 Magic Light "Here Lies Beetlejuice" tombstone, lit up for the sequel era. It's show time.
"It's Show Time" — From Tim Burton's 1988 Film to the Keepsake Catalog
Tim Burton's Beetlejuice was released on March 30, 1988 — a supernatural comedy about a recently deceased couple (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) who haunt their former home and hire a freelance bio-exorcist named Betelgeuse to drive out the living family that has moved in. Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice — loud, chaotic, striped, wild-haired, impossible to ignore — became one of the most distinctive characters of the decade. The film grossed over $73 million against a $15 million budget, won the Academy Award for Best Makeup, and launched an animated series. It waited 36 years for a sequel: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice arrived in September 2024, bringing Michael Keaton back alongside Winona Ryder returning as Lydia Deetz and Jenna Ortega as Lydia's daughter Astrid.
The Hallmark Beetlejuice collection opened in 2015 with the founding ornament — Beetlejuice in his black-and-white striped suit, the character instantly recognizable in resin form. In 2017, Kristina Gaughran sculpted the collection's centrepiece: the "You Think I'm Qualified?" Magic Sound ornament, at 2.93" × 4.88" × 2.22", which plays memorable lines from the film in Michael Keaton's actual voice when you press the button. Collectors describe it as containing a long scene from the movie with good sound quality — not a brief clip but a substantial audio moment. The 2025 "Here Lies Beetlejuice" Magic Light entry brought the collection into the sequel era: a tombstone that lights up, the graveyard setting that is Beetlejuice's natural habitat, illuminated on the Christmas tree.
"It's show time! Straight from the grave to your tree, this Christmas tree ornament features the afterlife's foremost bio-exorcist, Beetlejuice. If you're a fan of the hilarious antics of the classic movie, we think you're qualified to add the ghost with the most to your collection."
