Tim Burton-Inspired ‘Beetlejuice’ Bar/Restaurant Haunts New York City
Cue up another reason for me to come visit New York…
Allow me to introduce you to Beetle House, a brand new bar/restaurant in New York City’s East Village. What makes Beetle House so special, you ask? Oh, just the fact that all the food and drinks on their menu are inspired by the movies of Tim Burton! Films like Sleepy Hollow, Alice in Wonderland, and obviously Beetlejuice get love in the titles of the various offerings, all of which can be seen on their website.
For example, there’s the “Beetlejuice” cocktail, which includes, “Muddled blackberry and limes, Tequila, Blackberry schnapps, Angostura bitters, splash of cranberry.” Apart from the tequila, that sounds absolutely delicious. Or how about the “This is Halloween!”, which mixes “pumpkin Liqueur, cinnamon liqueur, apple liqueur, apple cider, ginger beer, garnished with a lime.” That is RIGHT up my alley.
When it comes to food, You can snag yourself the “Edward Burger Hands”, which sounds INCREDIBLE and includes, “organic ground bison, organic smoked bacon, pepper jack, quail egg, sriracha cream, avocado tomato, honey garlic bun.” Or, you can pay homage to Beetlejuice and get yourself the “Beetle House Fish Bowl”, which almost sounds like the meal from the movie that everyone sang “Day Oh!” around: “Creole style Shrimp, scallop clam and white fish,cooked in a spicy slightly sweet red broth served over rice with sautéed veggies and corn bread.”
Mmmm…. I’m thinking it’s time for a lunch break.
It was announced two weeks ago that Paramount is resurrecting the Scary Movie spoof franchise with a brand new reboot movie, which will likely arrive in theaters next year.
The new movie, a joint venture between Paramount and Miramax that will technically be the sixth installment in the franchise, is expected to go into production this coming Fall.
We don’t yet know who will be writing, directing or starring in the Scary Movie reboot, but two actors in particular have already expressed an interest in joining the franchise.
The first is Melissa Barrera, who can currently be seen in theaters in Radio Silence’s bloody horror movie Abigail. Barrera is of course also the star of Scream and Scream VI, which kind of makes her a perfect candidate to lampoon herself in a Scary Movie reboot.
“I always loved those movies,” Melissa Barrera tells the website Inverse. “When I saw it announced, I was like, ‘Oh, that would be fun.’ That would be so fun to do.”
The actress adds, “They have the iconic cast that did it, so we’ll see what goes on with that. I’m just excited to see a new one.”
In a tweet posted last night, Bailee Madison (The Strangers: Prey at Night, the upcoming “Pretty Little Liars: Summer School”) also threw her hat in the running.
Madison tweets, “Random but scary movie 6 hit me up cause I just feel like we’d have fun okay bye.” Your move, Paramount. And make sure you call Anna Faris and Regina Hall too.
Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, the first Scary Movie was released in 2000, just four years after Wes Craven reinvigorated the horror genre with his meta slasher masterpiece, Scream.
The film parodied horror movies of the time including Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Blair Witch Project, and the horror-comedy spoof scared up $278 million at the worldwide box office. The success of that first Scary Movie paved the way for an entire franchise of horror spoofs, five of them in total released between 2000 and 2013.
