Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Trivia: When Delores is reassembling herself, you can see she is missing the ring finger of her left hand. If you recall, Beetlejuice had this same finger adorned with a ring in his pocket when he attempted to marry Lydia in the first film.

Trivia: Reportedly, Barbara and Adam from the original were going to have a cameo, but it was cut, as Tim Burton doesn't believe current digital de-aging technology is believable enough.

Trivia: One of the conditions Tim Burton and Michael Keaton set for directing and appearing in the film is that they would only make it if they could use practical effects in place of CGI as much as possible, just like the original. This is why the film makes heavy use of things like old-school stop-motion animation and animatronics... CGI was only used when necessary.

Question: In the first movie, Beetlejuice worked with Juno, and later, Otho says that people who commit suicide become civil servants in the afterlife. In this movie, it's revealed that Beetlejuice didn't commit suicide but was murdered by being tricked into drinking poison by the woman he loved. Why would he be working in the afterlife if it was murder and not intentional suicide?

Answer: I thought the same thing on this and also why Lydia's husband was a civil worker, but there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it part where Beetlejuice is reading a newspaper and there is a small story with a headline titled: 'Workers Wrongly Assigned Suicide at Death', which would explain it.

Answer: Why are most people so intent on marrying someone? He loves Lydia. In the first movie, she was a teenager, and he mostly needed a wedding to get out of his punishment. In the years since, he appears to have developed more respect and appreciation for her. He stopped her wedding to Roy, exposed Roy's fraud, and transformed their almost-wedding into the smaller, "private" ceremony that she really wanted. He doesn't want to "just find someone else" for the same reasons that many people don't.

Answer: If he marries a human, he can leave limbo and become human again. He needs to get away from his wife, who needs him to complete her blood ritual.
