Purchase options and add-ons

This book is a replica of the original Handbook for the Recently Deceased as seen in the 1988 film Beetlejuice. The cover and the first few pages of this book have been painstakingly recreated using a genuine prop which was used for filming as a reference. There were several identical Handbook props made for the film, all of which were created using a psychology textbook as a template. Since no actual content exists for the body of the rest of these pages, the remainder of this book has been cleared for you to use as a journal or sketchbook should you wish. This book consists of 200 lined pages on a cream background with title headers and numbers on each page. Perfect for any Tim Burton or 80's movie fan.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Next to nothing on the inside
    Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    This seller makes a point to talk about how they have painstakingly recreated inside pages from the real movie prop, but that is very misleading if it's even true. The only recreated pages are the title page and the publishing dates. There's one preface page that just has a random quote from the movie book and then describes a bit about the book being recreated from the movie prop. There's a page to write your name under "This Book Belongs To:". And the rest is just empty lined journal pages. I dislike that so little was on the inside, but I don't actually know what was in the movie prop books to say what they could have copied. But the seller should be more clear about what you are getting. That said, I'm still very happy with the purchase. I've bought a few replica books for movies and TV shows from different sources, and this is the thickest of the bunch, so it does look more like book than a pamphlet. It's still has a cheap feeling soft cover, but that's to be expected for the price. It was shipped poorly and the spine was torn about a square centimeter, but I was able to repair that with a glue stick.
