Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! This is probably what Jenna Ortega called out when her co-star and lead actor Michael Keaton scared her on set.

During the filming of «Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice», - the horror star was scared by the 72-year-old actor, as she shared during an appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s show.

On Wednesday, August 21, Jenna shared: «He approached me from behind… I was going through hair and makeup tests when I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I turned around, and it was a real jump scare. He said, 'Hi, I’m Michael,' and his face masks were peeling off».

Despite the scare, the star of the series «Wednesday» was able to remain «calm until she met him a second time without hair and makeup. I even introduced myself again because I forgot that we had already met».

Jenna transitioned into the horror genre after her days on Disney Channel, starring in films like «Scream», - «X», - «Insidious», - and others. From family channel to thrillers, Jenna has always felt that the horror genre is her «home». She told People in February: «I love horror because they encompass everything. They can be romantic, funny, dramatic, and scary. They trigger adrenaline and ignite passion in people, even in cowards».

The star of «The Fallout» added: «I try to watch as much as possible, just for my work, which is great because movies are my favorite thing to do, and I can call it homework… There is something really beautiful and deep in horror».

From a little girl scared of «Chucky» to filming a sequel to the 1988 film and working alongside the original actors, Jenna admitted that this is something she «could never have predicted». Jenna will play the daughter of 52-year-old «Stranger Things» actress Winona Ryder, who played Lydia, a character Jenna described as «the coolest character on the planet».
