[[WMG: Beetlejuice's cause of death in the musical]]
While it's fairly clear that Beetlejuice committed suicide in the movie, all of the factors that point to that conclusion are absent in the musical. Both Beetlejuice and Juno have been changed from ghosts to demons. However, the distinction between the two is left vague—demons could easily be damned ghosts, a separate species, or anywhere in between. Beetlejuice has some extra powers and restrictions compared to the Maitlands, but there is some overlap, such as possession. He even says that "any ghost" is capable of it. However, Juno, [[spoiler:who in this version is Beetlejuice's mother]], still retains the gash in her neck, implying that she too was alive once and that she died by having her throat sliced, just like in the movie. [[spoiler:Since Juno is Beetlejuice's mother, this would mean that he must have been alive at some point too.]] In "Say My Name," Beetlejuice brushes back his hair to reveal his ''exposed brain'' while singing the word "assassinate." This is the only physical wound we ever see on him, implying that he died by being [[FlayingAlive scalped.]]

[[WMG: Beetlejuice is a Pueblo Clown.]]
[[quoteright:236:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sacredclown.jpg]]
Pueblo Clowns are a type of character celebrated by the Kachina religion and the culture that practices them (Pueblo Tribes of North America). These clowns present themselves with black and white horizontal stripes painted on their bodies and faces, paint black circles around the mouth and eyes, and part their hair in the center and bind it in two bunches which stand upright on each side of the head and are trimmed with corn husks. Legends and customs surrounding them differ, but they are commonly seen as spirits of early man, being tricksters that have emerged from within the Earth and have yet to mature into humanity, their iconography meant for satire and fertility rites.
Now take a look at Beetlejuice. Black and white stripes practically define his appearance, and his hair is a platinum blonde rats-nest. In the film and animated series, he is a pervert, a destructive prankster and a {{Manchild}} (bordering on [[PsychopathicManchild psychopathic]]) with a penchant for pulling pranks. As a ghost, he is unique in his reality warping abilities. While ghosts in the film seems to possess some supernatural abilities, none are seen to be as impressive as BJ's. In the cartoon, there are plenty of magic-users, but Beetlejuice's "juice" is outright stated by his disembodied brain (no, really) that with his power he could conquer the Neitherworld, but would rather settle for pranks rather than anything constructive. This implies that while he is a spirit, it is unlikely that he was technically ''human'' at any point.
While Pueblo Clowns are not known for having godlike abilities, it is likely that Beeltejuice may have either some relations to the primordial humans or may have even ''inspired'' the legend to some capacity.

[[WMG: Beetlejuice died in the 1600s]]
Beetlejuice mentioned that he lived through the Great Plague. One of the greatest plagues of history is the 1665 Great Plague of London. Additionally, by then, America had been discovered and people were heading to the New World. Connecticut, where the film takes place, was also one of the early colonies settled.
After he survived the Great Plague, Beetlejuice moved there to escape crimes, and it was there that he met a woman, was abandoned when she found out what a creep he was, and hung himself.

In Jean Louis De Esque's poem book, ''Betelgeuse, a Trip Through Hell '', hell is located on the titular star. In ''Beetlejuice'', there doesn't seem to be a hell at first glance. But there is a nasty place that exorcised ghosts end up call the the Lost Souls Room. In most versions of demonology, an exorcism sends spirits or demons back to hell, so it would stand to reason that the Lost Souls Room is hell, or at least the closest thing to it. Suppose, like in De Esque's poem, Betelgeuse is the location of the Lost Souls Room. The exorcised souls provide some sort of fulfillment for Betelgeuse, either because they have nutritional value, or It just enjoys collecting them. With this in mind, Beetlejuice's bio-exorcism business could be a sham to cause haunting disturbances, pin the blame on his summoners, and get more souls exorcised. Though he did thwart the Maitlands' exorcism, it was part of a plan to get permanent license to haunt the living world, which means more deaths and thus more ghosts and more potential souls.

Suppose, like in De Esque's poem, Betelgeuse is the location of the Lost Souls Room. The exorcised souls provide some sort of fulfillment for Betelgeuse, either because they have nutritional value, or It just enjoys collecting them. With this in mind, Beetlejuice's bio-exorcism business could be a sham to cause haunting disturbances, pin the blame on his summoners, and get more souls exorcised. Though he did thwart the Maitlands' exorcism, it was part of a plan to get permanent license to haunt the living world, which means more deaths and thus more ghosts and more potential souls.souls.

[[WMG: Jane trained the dog to wait at the bridge.]]
She knew the bridge was old and wouldn't take much to give way. She knew that it would be hard to see and brake for an obstruction in the bridge before entering it due to the curvy road and the covering. She knew Barbara and Adam would swerve the car. Most people would- it's a cute little dog.
