John Ivor Holland #1075027. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1498984). Beetlejuice is a 1988 American dark fantasy horror comedy film directed by Tim Burton and starring Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis and Michael Keaton as the title character. The film was a critical and commercial success, winning the Academy Award for Best Makeup. The film's success spawned an animated television series, video games and a 2018 stage musical; a sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, arrives in September 2024. Danny Elfman's score showcases his unique voice and foreshadows some of the darkness to come in his next score for 'Batman', but the original soundtrack also featured many calypso songs by Harry Belafonte to contrast with the B-movie horror stylings. Elfman's playfulness is on display in the distorted march of the main title theme and this arrangement for advanced ensembles features doublings on piccolo, clarinet and bass clarinet to give the extra colour needed.
