Soundtrack: Beetlejuice

"Inspired by Tim Burton's cast of comic undead, Oingo Boingo chief Danny Elfman shook up film music's old guard by blending Nino Rota-style hurdy-gurdy circus music, the demonic energy of Warner Bros. cartoons, and Elfman's own rock sensibility. The result: one of the most slavishly imitated comedy scores of the '80s" (from EW's 100 Best Movie Soundtracks) 1988
