Day-O!

Catherine O’Hara, who had a starring role in the 1988 original, will reprise her Delia Deetz role in the sequel, “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice,” and discussed the project with Kelly Ripa on her podcast “Let’s Talk Off Camera.”

The upcoming “Beetlejuice” sequel will feature a song familiar to fans of the original movie.  

O’Hara told Ripa the new movie will have Harry Belafonte’s song “Day-O” in it, just as the first movie did.
