Part of the couple who dies at the start of Beetlejuice and returns home to learn they're ghosts, Adam Maitland is an artistic and genial small-town kind of guy, and Alec Baldwin is barely recognizable in this early casting. The actor had a breakout year in 1988, and his other characters then and since have mostly been more confident and convention...
When cast in Beetlejuice, Geena Davis was coming off a different sort of horror movie, as Jeff Goldblum's love interest in The Fly. She also had a breakout year in 1988 with Beetlejuice and The Accidental Tourist, for which she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Her role as Barbara Maitland, one of the dead couple attempting to get a new fam...
The title character of Beetlejuice has a different spelling from the name of the movie, and that's only one of his many eccentricities. The self-proclaimed "ghost with the most" is a "bio-exorcist" who takes on the job of haunting the Deetzes, who've moved into the Maitlands' home. He's creepy and crude and ultimately the villain of the movie, and ...
Lydia is a brooding but sweet teenage goth girl who can see the Maitlands because of her self-identifying trait of being "strange and unusual." This was Winona Ryder's breakthrough role, and being cast in Beetlejuice immediately made her associated with darker, edgier characters, despite her general lack of similar castings — even in her reunion wi...
Charles Deetz, the real estate developer who dragged his daughter and new wife out of New York City to the Connecticut countryside, seems more cast against type within the ensemble of Beetlejuice than his actor's career. He's wonderfully uninteresting compared to everyone else in the movie, which makes him something of an outcast, and fascinating a...
Catherine O'Hara is well-known for her iconic maternal roles, but not as a uniform type. Her varied mother characters include the loving yet careless mom in the first two Home Alone movies, the overly dramatic has-been soap star matriarch Moira Rose on Schitt's Creek, and Delia Deetz, the cold and kooky artist who couldn't be bothered to be step-mo...
Glenn Shadix as Otho - Friend and interior decorator for the Deetz's who is also interested in the paranormal. After being cast as Otho in Beetlejuice, Glenn Shadix reunited with Winona Ryder in Heathers and director Tim Burton on The Nightmare Before Christmas, where he voiced the Mayor of Halloween Town, and the 2001 remake of Planet of the Apes....
