While there are no new updates regarding the rumored Beetlejuice sequel that is a collaboration between the film’s original director Tim Burton with his new bro-ish protégé, Seth Grahame-Smith, it’s safe to assume that it’s still a go, considering a decade-late sequel would be rather apropos for Burton these days. Smith, on the other hand, has mastered the tactic of combining historical tales with the absurd, so it’ll be fun to see how Beetlejuice fits with the Spanish Inquisition.

In the meantime, super fans of the original film like myself and that guy who runs the world’s largest Beetlejuice museum from his home could use a little pick-me-up, and fortunately YouTube users Rivergrl21 and Nuropsych1 have just what we need. Using their XBOX 360 in “creative mode” (I have no clue what that means), the duo spent the last two months developing a Beetlejuice roller coaster in Minecraft.

Warning: After watching this amazing video, you might become instantly depressed that this coaster doesn’t actually exist.

It has been rumored for quite some time that a Beetlejuice sequel is on the way, as Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter author Seth Grahame-Smith had buddied up with Tim Burton and wrote a screenplay for the Michael Keaton classic. Whether or not that will happen – and given Burton’s and Keaton’s recent track records, it probably needs to happen – is up in the air, but there’s one man in New York City who would presumably be the happiest man on the planet the day that Beetlejuice 2 opens in theaters.

Bruce Christensen is a 48-year old jack-of-all-trades, having worked in the music industry and as a stand-up comic, but his greatest feat in life and claim to fame is that he owns and operates the world’s only Beetlejuice museum. And yes, it’s in his home. Between this guy and the old bro who built a gigantic replica of Giants Stadium in his garage, I’m starting to think that New Yorkers might be a little eccentric.

According to Oddity Central, Christensen’s museum is approximately 400 sq. ft. and contains more than 80 items related to the film. Just 80 items? If that’s all it takes to open a museum, then I currently operate the world’s only Kate Upton hair doll museum. So what’s in this guy’s apartment, I mean museum, anyway?

Seth Grahame-Smith (aka Seth Jared Greenberg – why would you give yourself a hyphenated name on purpose?) has written Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies so far, and if you think he’s abandoning his gimmick just because everyone else is also cashing in on it now too (see also: Snow White & The Huntsman, Little Red Riding Hood with werewolves, Edgar Allen Poe: Murder Detective, Swordfighting Shakespeare, etc., etc., etc.), you’d be wrong. As his recent interview in The Hollywood Reporter begins:

Mash-up king Seth Grahame-Smith’s new novel Unholy Night re-imagines the story of the Three Wise Men of the Nativity as a swords-and-sandals adventure romp.
It turns Balthazar, one of the Wise Men, into a swashbuckling thief, who ends up helping Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus escape the clutches of Pontius Pilate, while encountering supernatural things along the way.

YOU STOP THAT, HAND! DON’T YOU START DISMISSIVELY WANKING ON ME NOW, WE’VE STILL GOT WORK TO DO!

But it turns out, adding werewolves and zombies and vampires and Predator and the duppie (DA DUPPIE!) to old stories isn’t all he’s been up to (sidenote: come on man, the bible already has lepers, a talking bush, and the Jewish aquaman who can manifest booze and fish sandwiches, does it really need MORE supernatural?). Turns out he’s also a scriptwriter. Having already worked with Tim Burton on Dark Shadows, he’s also got a stop-motion animated project called Night of the Living and a Beetlejuice sequel, both for Burton.
