The small US town overrun by Beetlejuice fans from across the world
The horror movie that put this tiny town on the map
- East Corinth, Vermont, a small town of 1,500 residents, has become a popular tourist destination due to its use as a filming location for the 1988 horror-comedy "Beetlejuice".
- Director Tim Burton chose East Corinth for iconic scenes, including Miss Shannon’s School for Girls and the red covered bridge, despite the film being set in a fictional Connecticut town.
- Residents affectionately refer to the visiting fans as "juicers" and have welcomed tourists from across the globe, a trend that has intensified with the filming of the sequel, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice".
- Local resident Wade Pierson created a self-guided walking tour to help fans identify filming spots, as some original sets, such as the house, were temporary and have since been removed.
- The schoolhouse building, a prominent filming location, has been purchased by a "Beetlejuice" enthusiast who plans to restore it into a community centre, museum, and theatre.
