• Audio Commentary - This feature-length track with director Tim Burton is a scene-specific track that covers a lot of ground. Topics include building upon the original film, finally getting a sequel up and running, setting the tone with "front credits", reuniting with members of the cast, set design and practical effects, the original (and returning) score, conversations with Michael Keaton over the years, his love of Italian horror films, introducing new characters and ideas, post-production, and more.
• The Juice is Loose: The Making of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (27:37) - This light but satisfying behind-the-scenes featurette visually fleshes out subjects touched upon in the commentary. Director Tim Burton is featured prominently, while other cast and crew members are also featured including Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, and co-writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. Besides for a handful of supportive clips from the finished film, the original is also discussed and contrasted as well.
• The Ghost with the Most: Beetlejuice Returns (8:34) - The cast and crew, including of course Michael Keaton, give their thoughts on the character as seen in both films.
• Meet the Deetz (6:52) - This covers the three generations of Deetz women coming together for this sequel after three decades, including of course comments from key cast and crew members.
• Shrinkers, Shrinkers Everywhere! (6:26) - A character piece, this featurette talks about the original film's "shrunken head" character and his race's expansion for this sequel.
• An Animated Afterlife: The Stop-Motion Art of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (9:14) - This terrific featurette offers a brief look at the stop-motion artwork used for this film including the airplane and sandworm sequences, which of course includes a nice little amount of footage of the artists hard at work on character models.
• The Handbook for the Recently Deceased (12:07) - Danny DeVito, other "deceased" supporting actors, and key crew members talk about the afterlife's visual design, sets, practical effects, and much more.
• 'Til Death Do We Park: Beetlejuice and Lydia's First Dance (7:54) - A look at the filming of the surreal climactic scene, which was set to "MacArthur Park" as performed by Richard Harris.
