We dive into the history of Tim Burton's 1988 masterpiece (if you're in to that sort of thing, which some of us definitely aren't) to find out just why it never got a sequel. SPOILERS, because it was called 'B**tlejuice Goes Hawaiian' and Lewis has read that whole script so you don't have to. Hear about that inside.
