Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!
Director: Tim Burton
Date: March 30, 1988
More: When filming this scene, the attacking shrimp proved quite difficult to shoot. The prop handlers beneath the table couldn't see the actors' faces and kept poking their eyes, ruining take after take.
Today? The shrimp hands would probably be CG'd, but back then practical solutions were needed… Which is when Dick Cavett, the actor who played Bernard (Delia's art agent), suggested that Tim shoot the sequence in reverse.
And voilà.
