What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA restaurant in New York's East Village celebrates Halloween every single day of the year, and CBS Saturday Morning took a look inside Beetle House.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe decor has taxidermied deer heads, skeletons, and a giant Beetlejuice-inspired sandworm. I give it an eight point five.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe sandworm gets a full point for presence alone.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI haven't tasted anything, so I'm scoring the singing. Travel The Unexpected says Beetlejuice may sit at your table and sing Creep by Radiohead. Six.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNotes of a man interrupting my bread.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSix? That's a guest experience, Hank. It's live entertainment included with the entree.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a stranger at my table, and I'm still waiting for the entree.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSeven, final. But I'm putting on the record that you're marking down a man for committing to a song.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFor my own lunch, I ate crackers over the sink. I counted them, and there were eleven.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChat, what would you want Beetlejuice to sing at your table? Tell us below.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEight and a half and a seven, so call it a seven point seven five.

  12. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMine was a granola bar in the elevator. It was a very long elevator.
