With the release of Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” the long awaited return of the “ghost with the most,” it’s a good time to revisit Beetlejuice actor Michael Keaton’s first movie, 1982’s largely forgotten “Night Shift.”

Keaton, whose real name is — no joke — Michael Douglas, started out working on public television in Pittsburgh doing anything he could, including being one of the Flying Zookeeni Brothers on “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.”
