Tim Burton directs this fantasy comedy starring Michael Keaton. Barbara and Adam Maitland (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) are a happy couple who, when killed in a car crash, return as ghosts to their beloved Connecticut home to wreak havoc on the ghastly Deetz family who have moved in. Being novices at haunting, their efforts go unnoticed by the house´s new inhabitants, with the exception of Goth daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder), who doesn´t mind one bit. At their wit´s end, the ghostly couple call on a despicably disgusting demon named Betelgeuse (Keaton) for help.
