But at the eleventh hour, a deal was struck, and after several false starts, the production finally returned to the set to capture the most perfect autumn day—filming our Halloween scenes in the ideal Halloween season, a perfect moment of reflection on such an emotional roller coaster of a project. In the end, the production was an extraordinary journey that tested the Art Department's creativity, adaptability and dedication to the original film's legacy. From navigating the challenges of unpredictable weather and strikes, to painstakingly recreating beloved sets and designing aspirational new ones, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a celebration of imagination, nostalgia and the enduring charm of the bizarre, all delivered in true Tim Burton style.
