Now Playing: Roblox – Official Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Event Reveal Trailer
Escape the Afterlife was developed by Sawhorse and allows users to visit the scenes and meet with characters from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Players need to escape ghouls and rescue characters.
Those who buy a ticket will get an exclusive Beetlejuice-themed avatar.
Warner Bros. marketing boss Cameron Curtis said the aim with this promotion is to try to help Beetlejuice Beetlejuice reach new audiences who may not have seen the first film–and that’s likely a lot of people. After all, the first Beetlejuice film came out in 1988 and Roblox tends to cater to a younger crowd.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice releases in theaters in the US on September 6. Michael Keaton reprises his role as the title character, with Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara also reprising their roles. Jenna Ortega joins the cast as the new character Astrid.
