Who's ready to call for our favorite bio-exorcist once again? Beetlejuice is coming back this fall, with a sequel that's been almost four decades in the making.

Viewers will get back in step with the Deetz clan in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, debuting in theaters on September 6. The premise follows the family as they head to Winter River after the unexpected death of patriarch Charles. As Delia and Lydia (Catherine O'Hara and Winona Ryder, reprising their roles from the first film) move back home, Lydia's rebellious teenage daughter Astrid (Jenna Ortega) stumbles upon the opening to the portal to the afterlife. And what's the result? Chaos ensues, of course ... which includes the resurrection of none other than the iconic Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton, also returning).

While longtime fans are thrilled to see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice come to life in a sequel, some may want to brush up on all things creepy and kooky ahead of seeing it in theaters. Wondering where to watch and stream the original Beetlejuice movie at home? We have all the details for you.
