While Beetlejuice 2 is officially releasing 36 years after the original classic, a previous Tim Burton movie already served as a worthy follow-up to the 1988 horror-comedy. Tim Burtons movies often feature overlap in themes, types of protagonists, and dark subject matter that carry the filmmakers distinctive touch, but only on two occasions has he actually directed a sequel to one of his hits. After making Batman Returns in 1992, it took 32 years for Burton to make another proper sequel with the highly anticipated release of Beetlejuice 2.
