Movies like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, ranked

1. Beetlejuice (1988)

2. Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)

Both films reunite estranged family members in a haunted setting where the next generation must confront supernatural chaos, blending Tim Burton's darkly comedic aesthetic with heartfelt generational conflict.

4. Inherit The Witch (2024)

The film reunites a chaotic supernatural entity with a dysfunctional family trapped in their own home, blending pitch-black humor with genuine emotional tension beneath the mayhem.
