After seeing the trailer for Beetlejuice 2 I have a gut feeling I'm going to be underwhelmed.
Oh I watched the first one with my mum many years ago when I was going through a horror phase. I was not a fan. Also watched a replay of a really old movie along a similar vein at the drive ins a few years ago. Can't remember what it was called, but weird people broke down in the bush and then they broke into a house and weird people started singing or something like that. I didn't like that one either. Horror has to be horror for me, no horror comedy
I enjoyed the first one. I wouldn't describe Beetlejuice as horror. Not strictly anyway. Maybe fantasy comedy with a splash of horror.
That second one sounds like it could be a description of Rocky Horror Picture Show, which is not really horror but definitely involves weird people singing.
THATS THE ONE! Google listed it (and still lists it) as a horror/musical, although I agree, didn't really get the "horror" aspect. But I zoned out about 30 minutes in, so I definitely missed most of it
