Beetlejuice Beetlejuice put the ghost with the most back on screens in 2024, and the costume people went looking for is the same one from 1988:
the black-and-white vertical-striped suit.
The sequel didn't restyle him, so there's no old-look-or-new decision to make. Every retailer sells the same striped suit.
What changes is how far you take it: a one-night costume or a suit you'll actually wear again.
Complete at $49.99, collar and tie attached — HalloweenCostumes.com's own licensed set brings the jacket, pants, and shirt front, sized XS to XL.
See it at HalloweenCostumes.com →Costume-grade and licensed, in one size only — Rubie's striped jacket, pull-on pants, and a dickey with the tie attached. Cut for a jacket to 44in, and it runs small.
See it at Amazon →Try it on in a Spirit store — the licensed striped suit adds a real tie to the jacket and pants for $69.99, S–XL.
See it at Spirit Halloween →OppoSuits tailors a three-piece you'll actually re-wear — jacket, trousers, and tie in machine-washable poly twill, $129.99, US 36–52.
See it at OppoSuits →None of these include the wig or the face paint, and Beetlejuice needs both: the bleached, mossed-out hair and the gray corpse face are half the character. A character wig is a separate buy, so budget for one. For the face, a cream-makeup palette in white, gray, and black beats any mask. Gray out the hollows of the cheeks and eyes, and keep it cracked and dusty rather than smooth. The suit gets you recognized; the face gets the laugh.
HalloweenCostumes.com builds its own licensed Beetlejuice costume in-house — the Made By Us line, not the Rubie’s version — and lists it at $49.99 in sizes XS through XL.
The box holds the striped jacket, matching pants, and a shirt front with an attached collar and tie, so it wears as two pieces over your own shirt. It’s 100% polyester; the wig, shoes, and makeup are separate.
One HalloweenCostumes.com buyer dressing a child who’s sensitive to how clothes feel called it roomy and comfortable; a six-foot-two buyer said the XL fit cleanly. Another reviewer found it a little tight under the arms, so size up if you’re broad through the shoulders.
Rubie’s makes the licensed version, costume-grade rather than tailored: a striped jacket that buttons at the front, pull-on pants, and a dickey with the tie already attached, in the black-and-white stripes both films share.
The catch is the size run. This listing is a single size, cut for a jacket up to 44 inches, and Rubie’s notes its costumes run smaller than street clothes.
Against the XS-through-XL ladder on HalloweenCostumes.com’s own set, that’s the whole difference. If you fall outside that one cut, the choice is made for you.
Amazon sells and ships this one itself, not a marketplace reseller.
Spirit sells its own officially licensed Beetlejuice suit for $69.99 in adult sizes S through XL. It’s polyester and hand-wash. Where the costume-grade sets use an attached shirt-front dickey, this one includes a real tie over a button-down front.
Its one advantage over an online order is the fitting room. Spirit runs seasonal stores where you can put the suit on, check the fit across the shoulders, and take it home the same trip.
OppoSuits makes the step-up option: an officially licensed three-piece built like a real suit instead of a costume. You get a two-button jacket with notch lapels and a double-vented back, matching trousers, and a coordinating tie, all in black-and-white striped poly twill you can machine wash. It runs $129.99 in US sizes 36 to 52.
The cut is slim, and OppoSuits says to size up if you’re between sizes.
It costs about four times the costume-grade versions, so it’s the pick for anyone who’d rather buy a suit they’ll wear again than a costume they’ll box up in November.
Same gothic-whimsy corner of the closet: Coraline ›, the yellow-raincoat build, and Wednesday Addams ›, the Nevermore uniform.
