It’s showtime!
“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is getting the Halloween treatment on a British farm. Sunnyfields Farm, which holds the Guinness World Record for the largest pumpkin mosaic, used 10,000 pumpkins and squashes to create a ground mosaic of the memorable “Beetlejuice” character sitting atop a bunch of pumpkins, according to The Portsmouth News.
A time-lapse Facebook video, posted by the farm, shows the 15-person team assembling the mosaic over the course of seven hours.
“Our display this year is very much linked to the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film coming out — it’s another Tim Burton classic ‘Halloweeny’ film and we always go for topical things so we asked our customers what we should do this year and 70 percent said Beetlejuice,” Ian Nelson, owner of Sunnyfields Farm, near Totton, Hampshire, told The Portsmouth News.
It took 50 hours of planning to pay homage to the character played by Michael Keaton in Tim Burton’s 1988 film and the 2024 sequel.
Last year, Sunnyfields Farm just outside Totton was awarded the Guinness World Record for the largest pumpkin mosaic with its 2,081-square-foot “Nightmare Before Christmas” display featuring Jack Skellington.
Although the square footage of the “Beetlejuice” mosaic wasn’t immediately clear, Nelson told ITV News that they “made it bigger, so we are ready if anyone tries to take our record, to make sure we’ve got an even bigger one.”
