Added DiffLines:

* DeconReconSwitch: At first the film appeared to deconstruct the monster movie by showing that the "monsters" could be pretty decent folk, the corollary of course being that HumansAreBastards. But the movie ultimately affirms that not only are humans redeemable if they're just scared straight, but supernatural creatures can still be complete assholes.

Strike that, misremembered


* RealityWarper: All ghosts seem to be able to do this to an extent, though they are limited to the place they are haunting. The Maitlands, being new to the whole Dead thing, take most of the movie to get the hang of it. Betelgeuse's powers, on the other hand, seem virtually limitless... though that is hampered by that whole [[AchillesHeel "call my name"]] business. His glaring weakness is touched upon a few times during the movie (particularly during the ScaledUp scene, where he nearly murders Lydia's father before Barbara is able to send him back), which leads him to seek out Lydia. Juno briefly displays powers on a similar scale by casually summoning the Maitlands into her office to chew them out.

Betelgeuse summons the brothel, not Juno

Adding a sinkhole for the sequel now that the page has been created.


In the years since its release, ''Beetlejuice'' spawned a [[Franchise/{{Beetlejuice}} franchise]], including an early 90s [[RecycledTheSeries animated series]] of [[WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}} the same name]] on [[Creator/AmericanBroadcastingCompany ABC]] and Creator/FoxKids bearing only a loose resemblance to the film, and a [[Theatre/{{Beetlejuice}} theatrical production]] that commenced in 2018. A {{sequel}} has long languished in DevelopmentHell. As of March 2023, however, Warner Bros. officially [[https://www.ign.com/articles/beetlejuice-2-is-officially-in-development-at-warner-bros announced]] that ''Beetlejuice 2'' was in development. The film is currently set for release on September 6, 2024, with Burton, Keaton, Ryder and O'Hara returning and Creator/JennaOrtega, Creator/MonicaBellucci and Creator/WillemDafoe joining the cast.
