Charles Deetz's "The Living and the Dead" magazine from Tim Burton's Beetlejuice. In the concluding sequence, Deetz read his magazine after he and his family agreed to share their house with the now-deceased previous owners Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara Maitland (Geena Davis).

This magazine originates from the film's assistant producer, June Petersen, who gifted it to post-production assistant John Collier "J.C." Bennett following production. Custom-made for the production on lightweight cardstock, it features a cover with an image of both a living and dead couple looking at a sunset printed on the front and simple graphics and text on the back. The cover comes dressed over an unrelated 1988 copy of Macworld Magazine by production. The spine exhibits tearing material and the interior of the cover exhibits staining from production. Dimensions: 28 cm x 23 cm x 3 cm (11" x 9" x 1")

Additional Provenance: Copy of a Letter of Authenticity from Bennett.

Estimate: £4,000 - 8,000 Ω
