- 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.
