* There's something hilarious about the way Delia stares up at the ceiling after Maxie and his wife have been dealt with.



* The ShoutOut to ''Film/TheFly1958''. When the fly actually lands on the display, turns toward Betelguese's voice, and gets suckered in by being tempted with candy.

* The way Beetlejuice hijacks the ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' play by possessing [[AlphaBitch Claire Brewster]] in "Stage Fright" is absolutely priceless, from how far it deviates from the original work (story and all) to Beetlejuice doing puns and ending the play by turning into a huge blob and exploding into goop that splatters onto the audience. What makes it even better is that the InUniverse critics also thought of it as a great comedy, making the play a hit.
