#4: Beetlejuice Movie Tattoos

"Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetleju..... " is #4 on our Scary movies tattoo list. "He'll make you laugh, he'll make you scream, he'll help you in the afterlife, know what I mean" Don't let your head get "too big" Beetlejuice. Also, that Beetlejuice Sand Worm ruined sand dunes for me as a kid, which means as scary movie (Horror Comedy), it did its job.
