To promoteBeetlejuice Beetlejuicecoming to theaters this September 6 , Denny ’s has let go of “ The Afterlife Menu , ” four death - obsess repast exalt by the Tim Burton film forebode to “ exorcise your appetency . ” How does itstack upto the company ’s previousHobbitandFantastic Fourpromotions ? Let ’s find out , together .
First up is the “ Say It Three Times Slam , ” a “ bio - exorcist approve breakfast ” ( according to the restaurant ) comprised of three silver dollar sign coffee - poker chip pancakes plume to the nine in vanilla cream and drinking chocolate sauce — to speculate Beetlejuice ’s iconic striped courtship , of course — then top with green sprinkles , because he ’s also a gangrenous cadaver . serve alongside “ three eggs cooked your way and three strip of crispy bacon , ” the offer will be certain to inspire three trips to the close restroom .
Next on the menu is the “ Afterlife Melt , ” a grill tall mallow sandwich stuff with no less thanfivemozzarella stick , evoking the image of a human hand trap in a bench vise . Served with fries and Lycopersicon esculentum sauce , the item allows you to daub your discerp process with gouts of “ blood . ”

Less inspired is the “ Beetlejuicy Burger , ” a massive sandwich consist of “ three strips of crispy bacon and three slices of Provolone high mallow ” that I doubt any ( surviving ) fellow member of the Deetz clan would feed , even for novelty ’s sake .
Finally , there ’s the Cookies ‘ N ’ Scream Shake , a vanilla sparkler cream milkshake with Oreo cookies , whip pick , and green sprinkles that honestly sound passably great to me . I can conceive of my attorney and I divvy up one of these as we draft my will .
withdraw together , Denny ’s unnecessaryBeetlejuicemenu is at least a footling more thematically resonant than its previousHobbitandFantastic Fouroffers — the latter of which offer a four - Malva sylvestris omelette and the “ Invisible Woman sweep , ” a stack of griddlecake “ drizzled with a clear citrus tree glaze ” which is , frankly , pushing it .
I ’m also disappointed in Denny ’s fixation with the number three this metre around , instead of the Crypt Keeper - esque puns the eccentric is heir to . flannel-cake that have been “ berried active , ” perhaps , or the choice to have a sandwich serve “ open casket , ” so all your Quaker can see what you ordered and yield their respects . While I ’m not certain how appetizing the American moviegoing public will findBeetlejuice - inspired breakfast foods ( specially after seeing the movie ! ) , I speculate we could all expend a place to meet up and mull over our mortality over contraband coffee bean .
