Here’s every song on the ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ soundtrack
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is in cinemas now, but what songs are included on the long-awaited sequel’s soundtrack? See the full list below.
The film is the follow-up to the 1988 cult goth comedy horror, and sees director Tim Burton and stars Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara return to the franchise alongside newcomers Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe and Monica Bellucci.
Ortega plays the rebellious Astrid Deetz, the daughter of Ryder’s Lydia, as the Deetz clan return home to Winter River following the death of Charles Deetz. See the film’s trailer below.
Ortega recently sparked memories of one of her on-screen mother’s iconic looks from the film by recreating it during the press tour.
The Wednesday star also spoke about the fast friendship she formed with Ryder on the set of the movie. “It just felt like a free and collaborative space, but Winona and I — I swear we just started talking one day on set and then never stopped,” Ortega said. “You could find us in the same position four hours later never having moved. She’s the best.”
