For nearly four decades, the small town of East Corinth, Vermont — population around 1,500 — has drawn fans of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice eager to see where the beloved 1988 horror-comedy came to life.
“It was like one of those coming-of-age films for me,” said fan Lisa Pinkerton, who traveled with her family from England to visit the filming sites. “It brings back all those memories of watching it with friends at the time. It’s nice to put it all into place and see the sort of Hollywood magic that happens.”
According to The Associated Press, though the movie was set in the fictional Winter River, Connecticut, Burton chose East Corinth, near the New Hampshire border, as the backdrop for the now-iconic scenes — including Miss Shannon’s School for Girls and the red covered bridge where Adam and Barbara Maitland (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) meet their fate.
