“Beetlejuice” inspired vacation rentals + where to watch the sequel in Seattle

It’s showtime — “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” has hit the silver screen, bringing its signature mischief and mayhem back with original cast members + some new rising stars.

The Tim Burton horror-comedy film is staying true to its roots with campy wardrobes, quirky one-liners, hauntingly bizarre characters, and the iconic hilltop house, of course.

We’re just as excited as you are. If there’s one thing we’re all about here at SEAtoday, it’s really committing to the bit. We scouted out local vacation rentals and theaters that scream “Beetlejuice,” so let’s turn on the juice and see what shakes loose.

The interior of a Victorian home has heavy wooden framed art and portraits lining the walls following up a carpeted staircase. The front room has living room furniture in dark wood and a chandelier hangs over the entry way.

The Enchanting and Modern Victorian rental comes with mystically moody interior design and trimming that transports visitors back in time.

If so, it begs the question... do I go as Beetlejuice or Lydia Deetz? Man, tough questions all around. The possibilities are endless.
