The daytime TV host was serving the ghost with the most for the Halloween episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show." Dressed decaying head to toe as Michael Keaton’s Beetlejuice, the “Stronger” singer was unrecognizable as the villain from the Tim Burton hit films, rocking a black and white striped suit and Beetlejuice’s signature wild hair and green facial accents to make the ghoulish skin.
And Clarkson’s costume isn’t the only way she’s incorporating the cult classic film into her Halloween episode. The powerhouse vocalist is also doing a Kellyoke version of “Banana Boat (Day-O),” the Harry Belfonte song that soundtracks an iconic scene from the original 1988 film starring Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis and more.
And Clarkson isn’t the only TV personality to take on the role this year.
In fact, the annual Halloween day episode of the Today show featured the coanchors recreating some of their family classic film characters. Meteorologist Dylan Dreyer dressed up as Lydia Deetz, Ryder’s character, calling out Beetlejuice’s name three times only for weatherman Al Roker to appear in all his Beetlejuice glory.

Beetlejuice obsession has had a resurgence this year with the film’s sequel "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" hitting theaters in September, featuring original stars Keaton, Ryder, and O’Hara and some new faces including Jenna Ortega, Justin Theroux and Willem Dafoe.
As for whether the ghost with the most is willing to appear in a third installment of the hit franchise, Keaton recently told E! News, “Oh, man, I’d do it every year.”
In a never-before-seen moment from Kelly's interview with Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone, the trio face-off in an ultra-competitive axe throwing competition straight from their new podcast "Hildy the Barback and the Lake of Fire."
And Keaton would never let a negative critique influence his opinion of the sequel.
“I don’t care if everyone literally in the universe, in other universes, says to me, ‘This thing is horrible,’” he told E! News back in August. “It ain’t gonna matter to me at all because I frickin’ love it.”
