As for getting comfortable with Beetlejuice, it was Michael Keaton who helped out Alec Baldwin after he figured out what it was going to be like working for Tim Burton.
Alec Baldwin was prepared for Beetlejuice to ruin his career while they were making the movie.
That event was improvised and, “I thought I was going to choke, I was laughing so hard off camera,” says Alec Baldwin.
There’s even a new Broadway show based on the movie, but Alec Baldwin did not have a crystal ball over 30 years ago.
