Revealing mistake: After Adam and Barbara warp their features to look like strange bird-like characters, Beetlejuice attempts to get Lydia to release him. While this is happening, the movie cuts back to Adam and Barbara as Adam says, "But Barbara, honey, it's too late. We have to go through with this" Look at his eyes that are supposed to be dark pits; you can see the black see-through material used to conceal the actor's eyes.

Question: Was there any physical indication of what killed the Maitlinds? The football players died in a bus crash and looked mangled. The girl who committed suicide had slashed wrists. I never noticed anything suggesting how the two of them died by their appearance.

Answer: They died by drowning. Jane's daughter even tells Lydia when she asks what happened. Although Adam and Barbara should have been completely wet for the whole movie, Tim Burton decided to keep Alec and Geena dry as he felt that keeping them wet the entire time would be an uncomfortable experience for both of them.
