Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice... It's Showtime

Beetlejuice is about a couple, Adam and Barbara Malitland, who happen to be dead.  Barbara and Adam live in a house that has just been recently moved into by another couple, Charles and Delia Deetz, and their daughter, Lydia. The only person who can see the deceased couple is Lydia. The Malitlands want the Deetzes out of their house so they seek guidance from Juno, their afterlife caseworker. Juno tells them that they must stay in the house for 125 years and if they want the Deetzes out of their house then they will have to scare them out. The Malitlands try desperately to get the Deetzes out, but they have no luck. So the Malitlands take matters into their own hands despite the warnings from Juno. They call upon Beetlejuice who is supposed to scare away the Deetzes but he has other plans in mind. With his rude and morbid demeanor they reconsider and regret hiring him. Charles Deetz decides that the frightening events that have happened because of Beetlejuice could make his new home. Charles tries to explain to his boss Maxie Dean that the supernatural is real, but he doesn’t and wants to see it for himself.  Otho, the interior designer, comes to the house to conduct a séance and summons Adam and Barbara. Surprisingly they begin to decay. Horrified, Lydia summons Beetlejuice to help her new friends but he will only agree if Lydia agrees to marry him. Beetlejuice quickly disposes of Maxie, his wife and Otho to prepare for the wedding. Surprisingly the Malitlands intervene before the ceremony is completed. The Deetzes and Malitlands agree to live in harmony in the house together. Meanwhile Beetlejuice is waiting in the afterlife reception area, where he angers a witch doctor, who shrinks his head.
