25 years ago, Henry Selick made his own take on Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice

If you’ve ever seen The Nightmare Before Christmas or Coraline, you already know that director Henry Selick is a genius. In the art form of stop-motion animated films, he is without equal. That said, 25 years ago, Selick took a crack at directing a primarily live-action film with stop-motion elements (plus puppetry and computer effects), and made a movie so bad and annoying that I’d rather exchange my eyes for buttons, or get strapped to Oogie Boogie’s torture machine, than ever watch it again.
