Deception (50%)

• The title of the article suggests that Michael Keaton will be returning to play Beetlejuice when in fact he only appears briefly as a cameo.
• The trailer for the film shows scenes from both films intercut with new footage which creates a false sense of continuity and makes it seem like this is an entirely new movie rather than just a sequel.

Fallacies (85%)

• The author uses an appeal to authority when he states that the sequel will be good because Tim Burton is directing it and Michael Keaton is in it. This statement implies that their previous work together was successful and therefore this new project will also be successful, without providing any evidence or reasoning for this claim.
• The author uses a false dilemma when he states that the living and the dead can't coexist. He presents only two options as if they are mutually exclusive, but in reality there may be other possibilities.

Bias (80%)

• The original Beetlejuice followed a pair of ghosts who try to scare some newcomers out of their home by making the big mistake of enlisting the help of a crude and vulgar ghost named Betelgeuse (pronounced “Beetlejuice” and played by Keaton with fiendish abandon). Along with being a massive box office success that helped pave the way for Burton and Keaton to re-team on 1989’s “Batman,” the 1987 “Beetlejuice” also inspired a hit musical adaptation on Broadway. A sequel has been in and out of development for decades
