‘Isn’t It Weird’: Catherine O’Hara Talks About One Major Similarity Between Schitt’s Creek and Beetlejuice 2

As a dedicated fan who has seen countless hours of Catherine O’Hara’s enchanting performances, it’s a delight to witness her artistic brilliance unfold once again in Beetlejuice 2. The striking similarity between her role in this film and her iconic character Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek is not lost on me, and I can’t help but chuckle at the thought of crows becoming her signature bird of choice!


In simple terms, Catherine O’Hara noted a significant similarity between her recent movie, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” and “Schitt’s Creek.” This similarity revolves around crows and her character’s arm-flapping gesture, which brings to mind the character of Moira Rose.

In the start of the upcoming film, you’ll find a scene set in an art gallery. In one intriguing artwork, the actress wears entirely white attire and assumes a posture with flapping arms, while crows are depicted flying behind her. This tableau strongly resembles her character Moira Rose’s movie The Crows Have Eyes from Schitt’s Creek, her popular comedy series.

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actress revealed that at first, a different type of bird was planned for the scene, but ultimately crows were chosen instead. Later on, director Tim Burton suggested that she mimic flying by waving her arms, which she consented to.

As a lifestyle expert, I found myself pondering if Burton had caught wind of the renowned series. To be honest, it crossed my mind that he might not have, and I didn’t want to jump to conclusions as it seemed presumptuous to me. Instead, I decided against bringing it up, fearing that the director may not recognize or allude to the resemblance due to this omission.

Nonetheless, Burton opted to incorporate the arm-flapping scene in the film, leaving O’Hara questioning if he had watched Schitt’s Creek or recognized the crow symbolism. She exclaimed, “Isn’t it peculiar? It’s peculiar that I’m flapping my arms, and there are crows.

Winona Ryder, her co-star, pointed out to the press similarities between Catherine O’Hara’s character Delia Deetz in Beetlejuice 2 and Moira Rose from the comedy series. She explained, “They are both artists,” further stating, “And they are sensitive individuals.

O’Hara concurred with her fellow actor, stating that people often underestimate the depth of their creative abilities and projects. She went on to say, “They possess such a wide range of talents, yet it appears that many fail to recognize this.

The recently released movie titled “Beetlejuice 2” serves as a follow-up to the popular 1988 film “Beetlejuice,” with Tim Burton once again at the helm as director.

In the recently released movie, you’ll find an ensemble of talented actors such as Michael Keaton, Jenna Ortega, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Willem Dafoe, Monica Bellucci, and several others gracing the screen together.
