Whether it's during the spooky season or any time of year, many are clamoring to know where to watch Beetlejuice and find out what platforms the Tim Burton classic is streaming on. Released in 1988, the film follows a recently deceased couple who call on a strange spirit from the underworld named Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) to help them scare away the new family that moved into their house. Made with Tim Burton's signature playful style, Beetlejuice blends the spooky and the silly deftly and is one of the most beloved horror comedies that is perfect for viewing any time of year.

Critically acclaimed (via Rotten Tomatoes) and a bit ahead of its time, Beetlejuice was the first sign that Tim Burton was truly unique among his directing contemporaries. It is often ranked highly among Tim Burton's films, and few horror comedies have been able to match its pure imaginative fun, and pop culture impact. Naturally, the movie was quickly exploited and adapted into a popular cartoon series that ran for four seasons. In a perfect example of never being able to leave well enough alone, the long-rumored Beetlejuice 2 was announced in 2023 which will see many of the original movie's familiar faces return.

Where To Stream Beetlejuice

Because Tim Burton's late-'80s hit has remained popular for the last three decades, it has long been a hot commodity in the streaming world with the film being passed from streamer to streamer in a desperate attempt to draw in viewers. At the time of this writing, Beetlejuice is available to stream on HBO's signature streaming service, and it joins a host of other amazing movies currently available on Max. Beetlejuice was originally produced and distributed by Warner Brothers which now tends to deal almost exclusively with HBO Max, with a majority of their movies, shows, and upcoming franchise epics dropping exclusively on that streamer.

Max offers a variety of streaming plans and options for potential new customers that can be tailored to the specific needs of the viewer. All plans offer unlimited access to the entire streaming library which includes a host of original HBO content as well as movies from TCM, the DC cinematic universe, and other content that was lumped in with Max's big expansion in early 2023. The lowest price starts at $9.99 a month, but that includes an ad-supplemented experience. Viewers can get no ads for as low as $15.99 a month, and the top level of $19.99 a month removes ads and allows streaming in 4K.
