“It’s Showtime!” The Silver Screen Drive-in presents the brilliantly bizarre “Beetlejuice” on Friday, July 23 at 9:15 pm!
Adam and Barbara are a normal couple...who happen to be dead. After they die in a car accident, an unbearable family moves in to their home and the ghostly couple find themselves stuck haunting the house that they loved when they were alive. After Adam and Barbara’s hilarious attempts to scare off the new homeowners fail, they instead become the main attraction to the money-making family. Unfortunately, they call upon Beetlejuice to help, but the rambunctious spirit has more in mind than just helping and his "help" quickly becomes dangerous for everyone.
Beetlejuice offers some of Michael Keaton's most deliciously manic work - creepy, funny fun for the whole family.
Watch out for those sandworms!

About the Silver Screen Drive-in
The Trail & District Arts Council and Royal Theatre have joined forces to imagine your new, favourite summer experience, the Silver Screen Drive-in. Running from June to September, films will screen Thursday through Saturday at sunset in the Waneta Plaza upper parking lot. Upcoming films will include those event movies that you’ve missed seeing on a big screen, retro classics from comedy to horror, as well as those Sunday Cinema favourites been as well as Oscar winning independent films and documentaries. Plus, live performances of music, theatre, dance and more!
