Filming has wrapped on Beetlejuice 2, the sequel to Tim Burton’s iconic horror comedy – and the filmmaker has shared a behind-the-scenes photo that looks eerily familiar.
Burton took to Instagram to announce that filming had wrapped, posting a photo of himself sitting on a recognizable set. The wobbly checkerboard floor belongs to none other than the Netherworld waiting room from the first film. It’s here that Barbara and Adam Maitland (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) arrive after their untimely deaths, and run into some other otherworldly characters. The waiting room is also seen at the very end of the film, with a defeated Beetlejuice waiting his turn in line like everyone else. With a direct callback like that, it’s hard not to be excited for the upcoming sequel.
