So guess what? Turns out that watching a lot of analog horror videos with creepy Emergency Broadcast System announcements in them isn't such a great idea right before an actual serious emergency situation happens and the EBS keeps popping up on the TV every 5 minutes.

You guys I'm so upset. If anyone knows where I can find any gifs or clips of Andrew Kober playing Adam to Alex's BJ please contact me. I had no idea you guys. I just learned about this. Trying to figure out the logistics of how this pairing would even work is breaking my little brain and I must witness it for myself. It must've been like a gnome trying to climb on top of a St. Bernard.

I've had this tribute rattling around my head since July of last year. I finally got it finished. Just in time to get it signed by the cast and crew of the tour as well.

I SHOULD say that it's not the actor(s) that I find creepy-looking, but the makeup design. He just looks extra dead/cracked out. The hair is super fluffy and cute though.

Ok to be perfectly frank, I find Brazilian Beetlejuice to be incredibly creepy-looking (which yes, is the point) but GOTDAMN, do I love those costumes. 💚🖤🤍💜🪲

I like dramatically evil Beetlejuice a totally normal amount

*Sigh* Everyday I WISH “That beautiful sound reprise” was on the Beetlejuice Album…

I just realized that I keep falling for the same man over and over and over again: a soft, short-to-medium-height, unconventionally attractive, magical elf who can act and/or sing like a GOD. Jewishness optional.

Look I love Beetlejuice as much as any other freak but I want to be clear about this, I would absolutely make him bathe before he ever touched me. I don't mean to be getting a UTI from some crusty-ass demon.

I'm probably the last person to say this but...

I nominate Beetlejuice The Musical The Musical The Musical to be the new Rocky Horror (theater or) Picture Show. It's irreverent and naughty and wild and interactive enough to draw the same kind of audience. It has a similar type of lovable antagonist who is everyone's favorite character, a Brad and a Janet and a ton of fun side characters for the audience to mock, and a weird comedy duo/couple that people can make incredibly offensive jokes about.

Admittedly, I'm mainly saying this because I realllly want them to do any kind of screen adaptation of BJtMtMtM someday. You CAN do audience participation in theater, but it works a lot better with movies.

(Facebook memory from 7 years ago) So I went to Universal Studios today, and I was nonchalantly like "the one person I really wanna meet is Beetlejuice, but I mean, I have other things to focus on"

So I go see all the shows (and fall a little bit in love with the Mariner of the morning. And their stunt show off Waterworld. Because hey Waterworld).

Get to go on some new rides (oh my god the Mummy I was not expecting that!)

And it's time to plan some last minute stops, so I take out my handy dandy map, and my mom is standing a little off to the side of me but in front. I'm busy concentrating because holy fuck Universal your park map needs an upgrade.

"Heya where we going next?" comes hot in my ear from over my shoulder.

"Hey it's-" wait what. I swing around as I'm saying it's, and land on a great big cartoon Lydia shriek of

!!!BEETLEJUICE!!!

At which point my eyes bug out and the map in my hand is now a ball that is tearing in every direction while my adrenaline creeps up.

He gives me a licked high five to which I shrug and go for it.

Some banter, a picture, and a "Ceya baby" after.

Before there's a flock of girls on him.

Made. My. Day.

I wanted to see Beetlejuice, but if I'd been the one to go up to him it wouldn't have been the same so like. Yeah day made.

Dorothy

Scarecrow

Toto

Tin Man

Ok Season 2, so who's our Cowardly Lion character?

[madam-o]

Me, every time I log into tumblr.

I understand some of you are 19 but that is not an old man, he's 32.

[madam-o]

Ok is it just me, or has Alex Brightman's Beetlejuice hair and makeup NEVER looked the same way twice?

[madam-o]

Let's be honest, squires are just little caddies toting around their bosses' big golf bag and waiting for him to call for the 9-iron.

[madam-o]

Oh no, it's yet another cowboy trash character with no nose. I must love him immediately.

To recap:

I'm 3 for 3.

[madam-o]

I love that I'm really getting into Beetlejuice at just the perfect wrong time, decades too late for the OG fandom, about a year too late for the musical fandom, and months too early for the sequel fandom.
