10 Weird Secrets Behind Tim Burton Movies

5. Stripy Snakes

Alec Baldwin Beetlejuice 2

In The Nightmare Before Christmas, when Jack is playing as his festive doppelganger, he delivers a sizeable snake to a poor unknowing family.

This is noteworthy because it was designed to resemble the great sand snake from Beetlejuice. I would not like to wake up to one of those on Christmas morning.

Another ode to Beetlejuice is the shrunken head that one child receives as a gift. This is meant to reference the final scene in Beetlejuice, where he is victim to voodoo magic after angering the wrong man in the netherworld waiting room. Never a dull moment with that crazy demon.
