Is Tim Burton's Beetlejuice the best Halloween movie for design students to watch? Josh Niland2022-10-29T09:00:00-04:00>2024-10-25T04:07:38-04:00

Tim Burton’s 1988 classic, <em>Beetlejuice,</em> is perhaps the fall’s best example — an ever-trendy classic Halloween tale that showcases and offers some critique of the period’s salient design trends. Even the scale model of the town has some architectural qualities, and its central star — a shopworn Victorian-style home — has become an <a href="https://www.pdxmonthly.com/home-and-real-estate/2022/03/beetlejuice-house-west-hills-renovation" target="_blank">inspiration</a> to aspiring designers around the world. </p>
<p>The conceit of <em>Beetlejuice</em> has essential elements that design students would be well-served to evaluate. Two families fighting for the creative control of a structure with radically different agendas. Its conflict is based on a disagreement about preferences in residential architecture: The “good, sturdy country craftsmanship” of a rural Victorian run up against a vacuous amalgam of 80s high design.<br></p>
