Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Rewind 35 years ago to 1988 and this trio of words were hot on the lips of movie fans everywhere thanks to the summer release of the hit comedy-horror film with the same namesake.

Season one found the three tracking down a killer among their high-end neighbors while season two detailed their journey to exonerate themselves in a second murder.
