PAGE ONE.
1.1: Let’s open
on a wide shot of the house in Connecticut where LYDIA, BARBARA, ADAM, and the
DEETZES lived from the movie.
We can see THREE TRICK OR TREATERS walk up the steps to the
house on the hill that’s pretty creepy generally speaking.
TREATERS: Trick or treat!
1.2: LYDIA is at
the door in her goth witch costume, with a pumpkin in one hand, leaning down to
the little folks.
LYDIA: Here
you go—make sure you get the black and white striped tootsie rolls! They’re
especially good.
1.3: On the
little hands snatching up at the candy. Focus on the aforementioned black and
white tootsie rolls because on there is a little BEETLEJUICE logo. Let’s make
it his face. He’s smiling. In fact, the logo is talking.
BEETLEJUICE: Yeah,
choose me, choose me!
KIDS [Off]: Thanks!
1.4: The kids
walk off down the hill. One of them is inserting a Beetlejuice tootsie roll
into his face hole.
BEETLEJUICE: Yes,
yes!
