Two-disc set includes: Beetlejuice (1988)Who do two newly deceased spirits (Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis) go to when their former house/current haunt is taken over by the obnoxious Deetz family of mortals? Why, the "bio-exorcist" known as "Beetlejuice," of course, to run the humdrum humans out! Michael Keaton is frighteningly funny as the "ghost with the most" in the hit horror comedy from director Tim Burton. Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey Jones, Robert Goulet, and Winona Ryder co-star. 92 min. C/Rtg: PG Gremlins (1984)Sure, Gizmo, the furry little creature young Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) gets for Christmas, is cute and cuddly-until he gets wet and multiplies. And when the offspring eat after midnight, they're transformed into vicious reptilian monsters that terrorize the citizens of the small, sleepy town of Kingston Falls. This darkly comic horror gem from director Joe Dante and producer Steven Spielberg also stars Phoebe Cates, Hoyt Axton, and the great Dick Miller. 106 min. C/Rtg: PG Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)Here they grow again! Those hellraising hobgoblins are back in Joe Dante and Steven Spielberg's hit sequel that combines scares and laughs.
