East Corinth Vermont Becomes Global Beetlejuice Fan Destination

East Corinth, Vermont, a small town with a population of around 1,500, has become a global destination for fans of the 1988 horror-comedy "Beetlejuice," directed by Tim Burton. Though the film is set in the fictional Winter River, Connecticut, Burton chose East Corinth for many iconic scenes such as Miss Shannon’s School for Girls and the red covered bridge where key characters meet their fate. The town has drawn visitors worldwide, dubbed "juicers," who come to experience the movie's filming sites and local history, including stories about Maurice Page, the only local to appear in the film. Local resident Sarah Polli shared insights about the film's production, including how her garage was converted into the Winter River Fire Department for filming. The enduring popularity of "Beetlejuice" has made East Corinth a notable spot for movie enthusiasts and spooky-themed tourism. Fan Lisa Pinkerton from England described the film as a coming-of-age experience, highlighting the nostalgic and magical appeal that continues to attract visitors decades after the movie's release.
