A newBeetlejuice 2trailer has arrived – and we’ve never been more excited.

“Here’s a preview,” Winona Ryder says in her full Lydia Deetz garb, complete with those signature spikey bangs. “Be warned: it’s intense.”

After the death of Charles Deetz, we see Astrid (Jenna Ortega) summon Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) – much to her mother Lydia’s (Winona Ryder) horror. He’s got a new wife (Monica Bellucci) and a new life – but he’s still the same old Harvard Business School graduate we know and love. The trailer is a montage of chaotic clips, from an impending plane crash to an undead dance party – and the best part might just be the monstrous, black-and-white striped sandworm from the original chasing after Lydia and Astrid.

The cast includes Catherine O’Hara as eccentric artist Delia Deetz, Justin Theroux as Rory, Willem Dafoe as ghost detective Wolf Jackson (who is missing part of his face in the trailer), and Burn Gorman as a reverend in the fictional town of Winter River. Geena Davis will sadly not be returning as Barba Maitland (and we can assume Alec Baldwin won’t be returning as Adam Maitland either).
