History Headscratchers / Beetlejuice

** Likely they would get stuck in the waiting room or assigned some other bureaucratic job for however long it took either for a new property to be built in that location or their assigned haunting time was up, whichever comes first.

** The character, in her introduction, talks about having an offer from a man who wants to bring the family down to relax. I am willing to bet money this was the Deetzes, and that she already had the paperwork done up and this is why she was trying to hard to get a signature from Adam and Barbara. And then there's the fact that she sold them the house to start with, so I'm betting after death it came right back to her.

*** He does say that he "lived through the Black Plague," so if he meant that literally, he's been a ghost for a very, very long time (which, along with having worked with Juno, might explain his powers - he probably knows every last rule in the afterlife and how to game the system for all it's worth).

* One thing in Beetlejuice has always bothered me. Adam and Barbara decide that they need to scare the Deetzes away by themselves, and they work out two really grotesquely distorted faces that'll do the trick. Their afterlife case worker Juno approves, and she sends them back to Earth. But wait a minute: the Deetzes, except for Lydia, can't ''see'' Barb or Adam. It doesn't matter how hideous they look, the rest of the family's just going to look right through them without seeing anything, like they've been doing. And just as you'd expect, the only person Adam and Barbara actually, unintentionally scare once they get back is Lydia. Now, I can understand the two of them making that mistake, since they're still coming to grips with the way being a ghost works. But why in the world didn't Juno see the flaw in their plan?
