Compare all of this toJoker: Folie a Deux, which has been met with an overwhelmingly negative reaction.

For audiences who have to choose between the two, the choice is obvious.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is the sequel to the original Tim Burton classic that starred Michael Keaton and Wynona Rider in a horror-comedy that involved ghosts trying to scare off new homebuyers from taking their house. The sequel brings back Michael Keaton as the hilarious and sleazy ghost with selfish intentions, now joined by Jenna Ortega in a new role.
