Violence & Scariness. The main characters are ghosts and the entire film has an eerie mood. Plenty of scary/cartoonishly gory moments, such as a woman blowing cigarette smoke out of her slit throat. An afterlife waiting room holds people in various states of death, including states implying violent deaths.
Beetlejuice contains some mild language, fantasy violence, and some suggestive humor, but overall, it was considered suitable for a general audience, including children with parental guidance.
Beetlejuice turns into a giant snake, quite scary for youngsters. Sexual:7/10 First of all, Beetlejuice is a pervert who forces Lydia to nearly marry him, and tries to kiss a mans wife.
"Hell," and "damnit," can be heard a few times. Two uses of "fuck", one isn't clearly heard like the other, and two of "shit". "Goddamn" is said at the very beginning of the film.

Beetlejuice is eaten by a giant snake and then has his head shrunken in the afterlife. Otho performs a seance on Adam and Barbara, that causes them to instantly wither and age grotesquely. Barbara's hands and feet crumble to dust, and Adam's jawbone falls off.
There is some inappropriate language and scenes. Lot of sexual innuendos and use of the f- bomb. Might go over your child's head, but up to you if you want to chance it.
A few are a bit bloody, one is clearly shown having slit wrists, however they are all harmless. All Violence is used for comedic effect. All of the violence also being cartoony and absurdist. A woman rips her face off, and her eyeballs hang from their sockets.

We know that Beetlejuice used to work as the assistant to the caseworker Juno, which means he killed himself, since all undead civil servants committed suicide. Beetlejuice was Bozman, and he killed himself after his building was completed in 1835.

Lipscum is a creature who obviously has the biggest mouth in the Neitherworld, not just liturally, but also because he is a bothersome chatterbox. In fact, everyone agrees he's the one citizen there who's more annoying then Beetlejuice. So why isn't he ever fed to the sandworms?

"With Beetlejuice now on the loose in Los Angles, California where Lydia's husband 'Alex Loughty' (Robert Downey Jr.) works, the Loughty Family must come together to defeat the ghost with the most once again..."
Johnny Depp wasn't in the original Beetlejuice, and had Beetlejuice 2 arrived during the height of his partnership with Tim Burton — who is returning to direct — it's a safe bet he would have been cast. This isn't the case in 2023, so here's how much truth there is to the Johnny Depp Beetlejuice 2 rumors.
