Vermont Film Locations: Exploring the 'Beetlejuice' Set
Let's be honest, who hasn't been obsessed with Beetlejuice at some point in their life? From the iconic soundtrack to Winona Ryder's deadpan delivery, it's a movie that's become a pop culture phenomenon. But did you know that some of the most memorable scenes were actually filmed right here in Vermont?
The Charming Town of East Corinth
If you're a Beetlejuice fanatic, then a visit to East Corinth is a must! This quaint town in Vermont serves as the backdrop for the film's fictional town of "Winter River," and you can easily spot several familiar locations:
- The General Store: This was the film's main set piece, and you can still visit it today. It's now known as the "East Corinth General Store" and houses a variety of quirky items. It's like stepping right into the movie!
- The Bridge: Remember the bridge scene where Lydia Deetz (Ryder) first encounters the bio-exorcist Beetlejuice? That bridge is still there! It's a popular spot for photography and a great place to soak in the scenery.
- The Cemetery: The cemetery scenes are also filmed in East Corinth, although the actual location is a little harder to pin down. It's rumored to be near the town's cemetery, but locals keep that information close to their chests!
Beyond the Town:
While East Corinth is the main Beetlejuice location, you can also find some other film locations in Vermont:
- The Deetz's House: The interior shots of the Deetz's house were filmed in a studio, but the exterior shots were filmed on a farm in West Rupert, Vermont.
- The "Sandworm" Scene: The scene where the sandworm eats Lydia's boyfriend's car was filmed in the Bennington, Vermont area.
Making the Most of Your Beetlejuice Tour:

The Beetlejuice film locations are a great way to experience Vermont in a whole new way. So, grab your best "Beetlejuice" costume, and get ready to explore the charming town of East Corinth and its surrounding areas. You might even catch a glimpse of the ghost with the most!
