Beetlejuice	comment	Beetlejuice is a 1988 Horror Comedy film directed by Tim Burton. It stars Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O'Hara, Glenn Shadix and Winona Ryder, with Michael Keaton as the title character.The story follows Barbara and Adam Maitland, a loving young couple who die in a car accident and find themselves caught in the Celestial Bureaucracy of the afterlife. Unable to move on, they haunt their rustic Connecticut home until it's bought by Charles and Delia Deetz, an insufferable yuppie couple with a goth daughter, Lydia. Wishing to rid themselves of the Deetzes, they enlist the help of a malevolent ghost named Betelgeuse (pronounced Beetlejuice) to drive them out. But between Betelgeuseâ€™s unwillingness to play fair and the increasingly strong bond between Lydia and the Maitlands, who come to see her as the daughter they never got to have, things go off the rails quickly, and Hilarity Ensues.The film is remembered for its dark humor and inventive visuals, helping to make Burton a household name. The score by Danny Elfman and a memorable musical sequence set to Harry Belafonte's "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" also brought renewed attention to both performers.In the years since its release, Beetlejuice spawned a franchise, including an early 90s animated series of the same name on ABC and Fox Kids bearing only a loose resemblance to the film, and a theatrical production that commenced in 2018. A sequel has long languished in Development Hell. As of March 2023, however, Warner Bros. officially announced that a sequel was in development. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is currently set for release on September 6, 2024, with Burton, Keaton, Ryder and O'Hara returning and Jenna Ortega, Monica Bellucci and Willem Dafoe joining the cast.

Beetlejuice / int_1036c075	comment	Forceful Kiss: Immediately after introducing himself to Adam and Barbara, Betelgeuse grabs her and gives her this kind of kiss. As you can imagine, they're already regretting their decision to meet with him, especially since he acts like a pervert around her the rest of the time.

Beetlejuice / int_105cabdd	comment	Jacob Marley Apparel: All of the ghosts except Betelgeuse who is the only one who can change his outfit. He wears either a very shabby coat and some kind of pyjamas, he imitates Adam's clothes (Coordinated Clothes styles! to convince him that they are very similar and that they should hire him) and his iconinc black and white striped outfit. Adam and Barbara wear the clothes they died in, and it is implied they drowned without major injuries because their bodies are in top form. Other ghosts also wear the same clothes and usually viewers can infer how they died (one afterlife worker is flat with tire marks, so he's a suicide who jumped under a car).

Otho's lack of know-how comes back to bite him in the ass when he snags the Recently Deceased handbook and summons the Maitlands without realizing he's actually exorcising them; this leads to Betelgeuse humiliating him with a Shameful Strip (see below). He does get one thing right, though he doesn't know it: he jokes during his dinner with the Deetzes that people who commit suicides become civil servants in the afterlife.

The Maitlands, being new to the whole Dead thing, take most of the movie to get the hang of it. Betelgeuse's powers, on the other hand, seem virtually limitless... though that is hampered by that whole "call my name" business. His glaring weakness is touched upon a few times during the movie (particularly during the Scaled Up scene, where he nearly murders Lydia's father before Barbara is able to send him back), which leads him to seek out Lydia. Juno briefly displays powers on a similar scale by casually manifesting a whorehouse in Adam's town model to keep Betelgeuse occupied and summoning the Maitlands into her office to chew them out.

Due to the movie being a ghost story, and to how common the Jacob Marley Apparel trope is, showing the two main characters dressed in their wedding clothes implies to the audience they died during their wedding ceremony. In the movie's context, they're already married when they die. Also, Adam didn't die from being beheaded, and the scene he removes his head comes from a completely unrelated scene.

Beetlejuice / int_7360a6b6	comment	Noble Demon: Despite being a disgusting con-man and pervert, Betelgeuse does have some otherwise redeeming moments: When the Maitlands first enlist his services as a bio-exorcist, he goes right to work and actively tries to live up to his end of the bargain in getting rid of Otho and the Deetzes. When Lydia is contemplating suicide, he actually shows genuine concern for her. When Lydia agrees to release him in exchange for saving the Maitlands from being exorcised by Otho, he lives up to his end of the deal and saves them. He then immediately subverts this when he attempts to banish the Maitlands; however, his chosen methods are much more temporary than exorcism, and he only does it because they're attempting to stop the wedding - and to be fair, Lydia did agree to marry him as the price for his aid. He also treats Lydia very affectionately throughout the whole wedding scene, although whether this is genuine or a continuation of his con artistry is up for debate. In any case, the Maitlands return and promptly turn the tables on him.

Though he hadn't even been summoned yet, Betelguese somehow picks up on this later, since he uses the exact same sculpture to retrain Delia in the climax. Betelgeuse momentarily controls Barbara, having her say in his voice, "Learn to throw your voice! Fool your friends! Fun at parties!" Guess what happens at Delia's party? The Lost Souls Room foreshadows the potential fate of the Maitlands. Betelgeuse mentions he hates sandworms when reading the newspaper, and again when he first meets the Maitlands. Barbara manages to land a good punch on the sandworm the first time it attacks her. Her ability to handle the creature better than the rest of the cast comes in handy later on in the film. In the first scene, Adam receives a Harry Belafonte cassette in the mail. "The Banana Boat Song" is even briefly heard early on in the film after Adam and Barbara just died. Guess what song plays during Delia's dinner party later on in the film? During the dinner party, Otho mentions he used to be a paranormal researcher in New York before the market collapses, and he makes a joke that people who commit suicide become civil servants in the afterlife. This reveals that Otho has legitimate knowledge of the supernatural, which comes into play in the film's climax. When Betelgeuse appears to the Maitlands in a TV ad, he's performing in the model's cemetery, long before it's even revealed he's in the model.

Also, during the scene where Lydia summons Betelgeuse to help her save the Maitlands from being exorcised, Betelgeuse comes out of the Maitlands' town model and is wearing a carousel hat. On top of Betelgeuse's hat, you can see a small skeleton head that looks like Jack Skellington, a character who shows up in the later animated film produced by Burton, The Nightmare Before Christmas. (Though, really, Burton has snuck in Edward Gorey Homages in all of his films.) During the same scene, on the sides of his hat, you can see little bat wings that look very similar to the Batman logo.

Beetlejuice / int_a70223	comment	Karma Houdini: Jane the realtor says the Maitlands' house is "too big" for the two of them and has been advertising their house against their wishes despite being told not to repeatedly, which is practically harassment (not to mention illegal). As Adam says, it isn't "any of Jane's business" whether the house is too big for them. And then they die, and she sells it on behalf of her agency, meaning that she gets what she wanted without repercussion (unless you believe her when she tells Lydia that she's "devastated" by their deaths). As written above, a deleted scene shows she tried this again with the Deetzes, but they don't want any of it. Otho seemingly gets off with nothing more than a torn suit and a bad replacement. Though he at least seems remorseful for his actions.

Also calling his name to summon him only to reject his services, thus getting his hopes up and wasting his time. That's the first time you really see him upset.

Beetlejuice / int_eb81c601	comment	When Lydia agrees to release him in exchange for saving the Maitlands from being exorcised by Otho, he lives up to his end of the deal and saves them. He then immediately subverts this when he attempts to banish the Maitlands; however, his chosen methods are much more temporary than exorcism, and he only does it because they're attempting to stop the wedding - and to be fair, Lydia did agree to marry him as the price for his aid. He also treats Lydia very affectionately throughout the whole wedding scene, although whether this is genuine or a continuation of his con artistry is up for debate. In any case, the Maitlands return and promptly turn the tables on him.

Beetlejuice / int_eb8ec7c8	type	Jerkass
Beetlejuice / int_eb8ec7c8	comment	Jerkass: Barbara's cousin Jane, a real estate agent. She repeatedly tries to pressure the Maitlands to sell their house and secretly takes pictures of the house to show to potential buyers behind their backs. She does this because she thinks the house is too big for a couple without children: the Maitlands have been trying to conceive and Jane offers a half-hearted apology when she realizes what she said before going back into her sales pitch. The Reveal the house has been sold happens during a scene of Jane's family, still in their funeral wear, visit it one last time; the Maitlands weren't even buried yet before Jane sold their house. A deleted scene has her trying to convince the Deetzes to sell the house too, which makes it clear that she just wants to repeatedly sell the house to keep making commission off the sales. Bernard, Delia's agent, belittles Delia and her work, calling her a flake and refusing to believe that anything happened after the dinner scene despite overwhelming proof, as well as refusing to let the other two witnesses who do believe in it actually continue investigating. It goes a long way toward explaining why Delia is so uptight and neurotic. Maxie Dean and his wife are strangely unmoved at the Maitlands withering away in front of them, instead wowed by Betelgeuse's antics. The dinner scene earlier seems to suggest that they, especially the wife, are dead inside. Betelgeuse himself; but he's a strangely lovable jerkass.

Beetlejuice / int_ebcf99b5	comment	The Unmasqued World: The Maitlands are roundly criticized by their caseworker for letting the living get solid evidence of ghosts, while the Deetzes look to find a way to monetize their haunted house. However, the fact there is a book for the living and dead getting along together seems to indicate that the Deetzes are Secret Keepers now.

Beetlejuice / int_ec16212b	type	From New York to Nowhere
Beetlejuice / int_ec16212b	comment	From New York to Nowhere: The Deetzes move from New York into a quaint little town Winter River in Connecticut. Charles Deetz has suffered a near-nervous breakdown and hopes to escape his stressful NY life there. His wife Delia, an art snob with terrible taste, hates moving there, but is somewhat satisfied when she can transform this old-fashioned cozy New England house into a postmodern urban one and start sculpting again. Delia convinces her interior designer and friend Otho to come from New York with them. Charles eventually tries to buy more property in the town — some habits persist, and they manage to invite some New Yorkers to come for a visit (to talk about Delia's art, to evaluate possible investments and to check paranormal activities), and most of them are very condescending. Only teenage goth girl Lydia Deetz likes the house as it was.

At the very least, they've had no luck conceiving. It's no wonder they become almost second parents to Lydia.

A subtle one: moments before Delia's sculpture crashes through the window, Charles is choosing from a selection of Lipton's Celestial Seasonings teas. Minute Maid Orange Juice. Kmart gets a brief mention during Betelgeuse's big scene.

Beetlejuice / int_f63e468f	comment	Terrible Artist: Calling Delia's work "terrible" may be unfair, but she's not exactly Picasso. In the final scene, she actually sculpts a bust resembling Betelgeuse's "snake form", scaring Charles half to death, and then still presumes he likes it. Of course, a brief image in the ending suggests Delia also managed to successfully get people to appreciate her art in the end, with one image being a cover of Art in America with the advertisement of them being "images of the afterlife". Perhaps she fired her Jerkass agent?

Lydia is also shown to be much happier, having let her hair down literally and figuratively, with the Maitlands treating her like the daughter they never got to have. The Deetzes also get what they want: Charles adjusts more, Deelia gets a new inspiration for her art, and Lydia finds a reason to live.

Beetlejuice / int_f6624c30	comment	Together in Death: The film is a rare lighthearted approach, as Adam and Barbara Maitland are stuck as ghosts haunting their own home. Even in death, they remain a Happily Married couple. This is used in a much creepier way when Lydia's family tries to conduct a sÃ¨ance but accidentally perform an exorcism instead, causing Adam and Barbara's summoned spirits to dry up together. They don't disappear in the end, but only because of Lydia's "Please, I Will Do Anything!" to Betelgeuse himself.

It's not until the final scene when Betelgeuse has his head shrunk that we find out why.
