Denny’s New Beetlejuice Menu Could Give You Sandworms

To beforehand Beetlejuice Beetlejuice coming to theaters this September 6, Denny’s has released “The Afterlife Menu,” 4 death-obsessed meals inspired by the Tim Burton movie promising to “exorcize your appetite.” How does it stack up to the company’s erstwhile Hobbit and Fantastic Four promotions? Let’s find out, together.

First up is the “Say It Three Times Slam,” a “bio-exorcist approved breakfast” (according to the restaurant) comprised of 3 metallic dollar chocolate-chip pancakes dressed to the nines successful vanilla pick and cocoa sauce—to bespeak Beetlejuice’s iconic striped suit, naturally—then topped with greenish sprinkles, due to the fact that he’s besides a gangrenous corpse. Served alongside “three eggs cooked your mode and 3 strips of crispy bacon,” the connection volition beryllium definite to animate 3 trips to the nearest restroom.

Next connected the paper is the “Afterlife Melt,” a grilled food sandwich stuffed with nary little than five mozzarella sticks, evoking the representation of a quality manus trapped successful a vise. Served with fries and herb sauce, the point allows you to daub your severed appendage with gouts of “blood.”

Less inspired is the “Beetlejuicy Burger,” a monolithic sandwich comprised of “three strips of crispy bacon and 3 slices of Provolone cheese” that I uncertainty immoderate (surviving) subordinate of the Deetz clan would eat, adjacent for novelty’s sake.

Finally, there’s the Cookies ‘N’ Scream Shake, a vanilla crystal pick milkshake with Oreo cookies, whipped cream, and greenish sprinkles that honestly sounds beauteous large to me. I tin ideate my lawyer and I sharing 1 of these arsenic we draught my will.

Taken together, Denny’s unnecessary Beetlejuice paper is astatine slightest a small much thematically resonant than its erstwhile Hobbit and Fantastic Four offers—the second of which offered a four-cheese omelette and the “Invisible Woman slam,” a stack of pancakes “drizzled with a wide citrus glaze” which is, frankly, pushing it.

I’m besides disappointed successful Denny’s obsession with the fig 3 this clip around, alternatively of the Crypt Keeper-esque puns the quality is heir to. Pancakes that person been “berried alive,” perhaps, oregon the enactment to person a sandwich served “open casket,” truthful each your friends tin spot what you ordered and wage their respects. While I’m not definite however appetizing the American moviegoing nationalist volition find Beetlejuice-inspired meal foods (especially aft seeing the movie!), I accidental we could each usage a spot to conscionable up and contemplate our mortality implicit achromatic coffee.
