“Streaming” can mean two different things here. fuboTV and YouTube TV are subscription/live-TV services: the movie is listed within a service you access through a paid plan. The digital retailers are transactional services: you pay separately to rent the film for a limited viewing period or buy a digital copy.
#1 Best Overall
A digital purchase is not the same as an unlimited subscription benefit, and a rental may have a viewing window or expiration rules displayed by the retailer. Before paying, check whether you are selecting Rent or Buy, the available video quality, and the device or account restrictions.
How to find the right movie
Search results can mix together several titles with “Beetlejuice” in the name. Select the film with these identifying details:
- Title: Beetlejuice
- Year: 1988
- Director: Tim Burton
- Runtime: 1 hour 32 minutes
- Rating: PG
- Distributor: Warner Bros.
- Principal cast: Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, and Jeffrey Jones
The story follows the deceased Maitlands, who try to frighten the living occupants of their former home and eventually call on a dangerous supernatural figure for help. If a listing shows a different runtime, episodic structure, or a 2024 release date, it is not the original movie.
Do not confuse it with the animated series or the sequel
The 1989 Beetlejuice animated television series is a separate title. Its seasons, episode lengths, and purchase options should not be used as evidence that the 1988 film is available on the same service.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, released in 2024, is also a separate movie. The sequel’s availability does not establish that the original is included with the same subscription or retailer. Searching for “Beetlejuice (1988) Michael Keaton” is the simplest way to narrow the results.
If you want a permanent copy: 4K and Blu-ray
If you would rather not depend on a rotating streaming catalog, a physical edition is the most durable fallback. A Beetlejuice 4K Blu-ray gift-set edition has been documented as an Amazon Exclusive release containing both a 4K Ultra HD disc and a Blu-ray disc.
That does not mean a particular edition is always in stock, available in every region, or sold at a particular price. Check the retailer listing for the exact edition, disc format, region compatibility, current stock, and price. A physical copy can offer higher-bitrate playback and collector packaging, but it requires compatible disc hardware and is not a substitute for a subscription streaming plan.
Rank #3
- Runtime: 95 minutes
For soundtrack fans
The original movie’s soundtrack is a separate collector product rather than a way to watch the film. Interscope lists a limited-edition vinyl release, while Waxwork Records documents a remastered 180-gram colored-vinyl edition with deluxe packaging. A Beetlejuice soundtrack vinyl record may appeal to Danny Elfman and physical-media collectors, but it should be treated as an optional fan purchase—not part of the movie’s streaming answer.
Why the answer may change
Streaming rights are licensed and can move between services. The JustWatch availability check used for this article was reported as conducted on July 28, 2026; the research was recorded on August 12, 2026. Accordingly, the services above should be read as currently listed as of August 12, 2026, not as a guaranteed future lineup.
Your results may also differ because of location, account, live-TV package, retailer terms, or a later licensing change. Do not assume that older pages mentioning Netflix, Max, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, Disney+, Tubi, or another service are still accurate. Confirm the exact 1988 listing in your own account before starting a trial, renting, buying, or subscribing.

Apple’s U.S. catalog was used to verify the original film’s year, runtime, distributor, rating, and cast.
