Death was a far too familiar concept to [[Film/{{Beetlejuice}} Lydia Deetz]]. Between her mother's death when she was younger, the haunted house she loves, her godparent-like ghosts, and her knowledge of various aspects of the Netherworld and the rules, she feels confident that she has a firm understanding of death and the dead.
But [[OurGhostsAreDifferent not all ghosts are the same as those she knows]]. And thanks to an accident and an aunt she's quickly growing to hate, she'll have the perfect chance to witness these other types of ghosts in [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Amity Park]]. Meanwhile, someone is plotting and a certain poltergeist refuses to let go.
[[WMG:Tropes Found in ''Say It Thrice'' include:]]
* TheDreaded: Betelgeuse has a reputation that encourages other ghosts to stay out of his way when he's angry and motivated enough to be an actual threat.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Depending on whether the ghost originally formed in [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom the Ghost Zone]] or in [[Film/{{Beetlejuice}} the Netherworld or human world]], they will exhibit different traits, including potential power strength, the variety of available abilities, and even whether or not they are composed of ectoplasm. And poltergeists fall somewhere in between the two, exhibiting traits of both.
* PatchworkFic: In regards to "Beetlejuice," the writer describes it as 99% [[Film/{{Beetlejuice}} the film]] and 1% [[WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}} the cartoon]].
* RuleOfThree: You still need to say Betelgeuse's name three times to summon/banish him.
* TookALevelInKindness: Betelgeuse is not quite as bad as he was in the film.
* WomanInWhite: Lydia's Aunt Melinda
