20 Things You Somehow Missed In Beetlejuice

20. Jack Skellington's Cameo

Much as Beetlejuice informs the aesthetic that would define much of Tim Burton's subsequent career, it also explicitly nods towards one of his most iconic future projects.

Near the end of the movie when Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) transforms into a terrifying-looking carnival monstrosity, keep an eye on what can be fleetingly seen on the top of his head.

Why, it's a very distinctive-looking skeleton - one which bears an uncanny resemblance to Jack Skellington, the protagonist of the Burton-conceived, Henry Selick-directed 1993 stop-motion animated classic The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Burton had apparently been drawing this skeletal figure for years prior to The Nightmare Before Christmas finally entering production, and so eagle-eyed fans can catch a proto-Jack hanging around on top of Beetlejuice's head.
