Lydia Beetlejuice
(opens in new tab)
It must be every goth girl’s dream, to actually see a ghost. And sullen, sulky Lydia (Winona Ryder in a role that she’s never quite been able to shake off, even in real life) gets to see a whole bunch of them in Tim Burton’s dark fairytale. Ironically, the encounter actually seems to perk her up a bit – she’s doing a song and dance by the end. So here’s a warning: meeting ghosts can seriously damaged your goth cred – after all, if you know there’s a jolly afterlife, there’s no reason for all that gloomy introspection. On a side note: Winona Ryder appeared in Mermaids with Christina Ricci (they played sisters), who also makes an appearance in this list… (Spoilers!)
