Betel Geuse Jr., also publicly known as Beetlejuice, is the titular main antagonist of the 1988 horror comedy film Beetlejuice and is set to appear in some titular capacity in its upcoming 2024 sequel Beetlejuice 2. He is also the main anti-heroic protagonist of the spinoff animated television series of the same name.
Laughably Evil: Betelgeuse is a pervert, murderous hitman who takes pride in his work, and a con man who tries forcing Lydia into marrying him so he'll have permanent access to the mortal world... but he's so funny that people forget what a rotten person he is.
Lydia Deetz is the daughter of Charles Deetz and the step-daughter of Delia Deetz. She's mostly referred to as a 'goth' girl. Beetlejuice plans on marrying her, so he can return to the world of the living.
Beetlejuice (also known as Betelgeuse in the first film) is a trickster and mischievous ghost. He is the main antagonist of the first Beetlejuice movie.
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.

Is Beetlejuice a zombie or a ghost?
Beetlejuice (voiced by Stephen Ouimette) – A ghost and the main and title character of the show, who enjoys eating bugs and is known throughout the Neitherworld as a prankster.
Beetlejuice tricks Lydia by telling her that reading a passage from the book will resurrect her mother, but instead, she unknowingly begins to exorcise Barbara and is forced to agree to marry Beetlejuice to stop it ("The Whole 'Being Dead' Thing, Pt. 4").
She was fifteen, she turned sixteen on the movie. She was a prodigy. From a very young age, she was an old soul. She really got the words and the imagery.
What is the black and white monster from Beetlejuice?
Sandworms. Sandworms are large snake-like monsters and one of them appeared as the secondary antagonist in the movie Beetlejuice. They are a type of creature that lives on Titan, a dusty moon for Saturn. At the end of the movie, one of the Sandworms eat Beetlejuice.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star is reportedly dating lawyer Joelle Rich from his UK legal team that represented him in his libel lawsuits against British tabloid The Sun in 2020, per People. (His fans were shipping him with the wrong lawyer, apparently.)
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.
Road Kill Man appears in the typing pool area of Neitherworld Social Services. He appears as the messenger in the Neitherworld and is seen when the Maitland's go to see Juno. Road Kill Man is a man who got run over, and now resembles a raccoon pancake you see on the side of the road.
The Maitlands intervene before the ceremony is completed, with Barbara riding a sandworm through the house to devour Beetlejuice. Finally, the Deetzes and Maitlands agree to live in harmony within the house. Beetlejuice is stuck in the afterlife waiting room.
While Lydia Deetz's age was never explicitly stated in Beetlejuice, she's confirmed to be a high school student who is likely about 16 years old, which was Winona Ryder's age when the original 1988 movie was released.
While she's had many successful and long relationships, Ryder has never been married and doesn't appear to want to take that step. “I'm a serial monogamist,” she said to The Edit. “I'd rather never have been married than been divorced a few times.
Winona Ryder , who has no kids herself, said she found it “strange” to quickly develop a strong maternal bond with her on-screen children Noah Scnapp and Charlie Heaton. Actor Winona Ryder says she feels like a mother to her young Stranger Things co-stars.
But Lydia's obsession with the dead does have a bit of a downside. She gets so sad and disgusted with her parents at one point that she decides to commit suicide so that she can join the Maitlands: LYDIA: He told me that if I let him out he would take me to the other side to find you. BARBARA: No, Lydia, we're dead.
"Sophia has decided to exercise her contractual out to pursue television work." Presley Ryan is playing the role of Lydia through this weekend, and the production plans to announce a new Lydia next week. It's unusual for a star to exit a Broadway production with no advance warning.
Later he expresses his interest in her by saying "The only one I think I can deal with is Edgar Allan Poe's Daughter. I think she understands me." This is not appreciated by the Maitlands who try to protect the girl but in the end, Lydia summons the Bio-exorcist to save her friends in exchange for marrying him.
Setting the tone for Burton's legacy in the gothic horror space, Beetlejuice makes innovative and frequent use of creepy practical and stop-motion effects, creating an endlessly fun and uniquely fascinating filmic world.
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.
