The film follows a recently deceased couple who become ghosts and hire an obnoxious ghost named Beetlejuice to help them haunt their former home and scare away its new human inhabitants.

Beetlejuice was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $73 million at the box office and receiving an Academy Award for Best Makeup. The film has since gained a cult following and is considered a classic of the horror-comedy genre.

Plot

Adam and Barbara Maitland are a happily married couple living in the idyllic town of Winter River, Connecticut. After they die in a car accident, they find themselves stuck in their house as ghosts, unable to leave. When their former home is purchased by the Deetz family, including Lydia, a morose and goth teenage girl, they attempt to scare them away but fail.

Desperate for help, the Maitlands turn to the rambunctious and sleazy bio-exorcist, Beetlejuice. However, Beetlejuice proves to be a danger to both the Maitlands and the Deetz family, and it is up to Lydia to stop him.

Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice, played by Michael Keaton, is the titular character and an obnoxious bio-exorcist. He is summoned by the Maitlands to help them scare away the Deetz family, but he proves to be a bigger threat than the humans. Beetlejuice is known for his wild hair, striped suit, vulgar language, and bizarre personality.

Charles and Delia Deetz

Charles and Delia Deetz, played by Jeffrey Jones and Catherine O’Hara, respectively, are the new owners of the Maitlands’ former home.

Themes

Beetlejuice explores several themes, including death, the afterlife, and the struggle to move on. The film also tackles the theme of miscommunication and the importance of listening to others. Lydia’s relationship with both the living and the dead illustrates the idea that different perspectives can provide the necessary insight to solve problems. Furthermore, the film satirizes the 1980s yuppie culture, mocking Charles and Delia as tacky, materialistic, and out of touch.

Legacy
