Beetlejuice is a limited-edition pinball machine produced by Spooky Pinball, released November 14, 2025, based on Tim Burton's 1988 film. With production capped at 1,079 units (999 standard + 80 show games) and an MSRP of $9,999, it became a landmark boutique release that sold out pre-reveal in 9-15 minutes and achieved #1 ranking on Pinside Top 100. The game features innovative design elements including a motorized sandworm toy, Danny Elfman soundtrack, voice-interactive 'Spooky Speak' technology, and original movie clips, representing a significant moment in the 'rise of boutiques' within the pinball hobby.
