As you may recall, a fundraising campaign was launched back in 2018 for Documentary for the Recently Deceased: The Making of Beetlejuice, and though that particular campaign was unsuccessful, it’s looking like the documentary was completed anyway. A brand new trailer for the doc has been unleashed this month, and you can check it out below.

The film will cover all aspects of the Beetlejuice production: from filming in East Corinth, Vermont, to the stop motion and special effects work, as well as a series of exclusive interviews and rare behind the scenes archives acquired by director Fred China over the years.
