Adam
When Beetlejuice begins, the story sees Adam and Barbara realize they are dead. They have no memory of what happened and don't even know that they are dead at first. However, when the gravity of their situation starts to take form, they both try to figure out what is happening and what they need to do next. The two realize they live in their old house, but can't leave. When Barbara mentions their "situation," Adam simply breaks down their predicament, which sets up the movie. He very matter-o...
Miss Argentina
When Adam and Barbara learn they can go to the "other side," they see it is an office building with a waiting room. In that waiting room, a lot of people sit waiting to find out what is next for them — from a football team who died in an auto accident to a man who was clearly run over by a car. They finally hear their number called and go to the receptionist, who happens to be the former Miss Argentina. As Adam and Barbara argue their case, Miss Argentina relates to them, but she lets them kn...
Lydia
Adam and Barbara begin their meticulous plans to scare the new tenants out of their beloved home. It might not be so bad if the tenants were more like the goth girl Lydia. However, her parents are a little on the weird side, with her mother very eccentric and wanting to redecorate the quaint house with art-house decor. They want nothing to do with this and begin haunting the family — to no avail. Lydia seems amused and willing to help them, but she admits on this specific night that they won'...
Delia
Delia is the mother (played in Beetlejuice by Catherine O'Hara), and she wants to turn this old home into a new temple for her bizarre and eccentric works of art. Her husband seems like he has given up on caring and Lydia is ready to get out of there as soon as she can. However, once the family learns there are ghosts there, instead of running, they decide they want to communicate with the ghosts and possibly control them. Lydia tries to explain that they don't want their home changed and Del...
Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice is many things in the movie. He is a poltergeist, a troublemaker, and wishes he could be a lady's man. However, he is also almost the exact same as a shyster. He isn't just a demon that shows up when someone says his name three times, like Candyman. Beetlejuice is someone whose sole purpose in life is to sell himself to people who need help. When he sees Adam and Barbara need help but seems unwilling to trust him, he goes on a long rant about what all he can offer them if they hir...
Otho
The character of Otho is a friend of Delia who is working with the Deetz family to redecorate the inside of their new home. He claims to know a lot about the supernatural, which he explains to Delia and Charles after they agree to invite Maxie Dean over to their house. Otho says, “I know just as much about the supernatural as I do about interior design,” which sums up his personality and talents quite well. Out of everyone in the movie, Otho is the most over-confident, but he is also a salesm...
Beetlejuice
As unpleasant as the Deetzes are, it makes sense why Adam and Barbara want them out of their home, no matter the cost. Beetlejuice is creepy enough in his human form, but later in the movie, he transforms into a snake with a giant head to scare the Deetz's. Right before he goes into the mortal world, he says, “Let’s turn on the juice and see what shakes loose.” The line comes just moments before one of the most iconic scenes in the movie, signaling that this particular ghost isn't quite like...
Beetlejuice
The characters in Beetlejuice are quick to find out that getting help from the titular ghost does more harm than good. Unfortunately, Lydia doesn't have a choice near the end of the film after Otho performs a séance to summon Adam and Barbara. This causes the couple to quickly decay once brought into the mortal world, so Lydia agrees to marry Beetlejuice so that he will save her new friends. After she says “Beetlejuice” for the third time, he stretches out his arms and says, “It’s Showtime” a...
Char Man
Early on in the film, Adam and Barbara discover the Handbook for the Recently Deceased and decide to travel to the Netherworld. Once they got there, they discovered a waiting room filled with other folks who had died in different ways. Adam sits down next to a gentleman burnt to a crisp, who offers him a cigarette. Adam says he doesn’t smoke, and the man replies, “I’m trying to cut down myself.” It was an obvious bit of satiric irony, and the look of the man burned to death still smoking adds...
Beetlejuice
One of the first times Lydia interacts with Beetlejuice, the poltergeist is tanning from the lights on a strip club in Adam’s miniature town. Lydia comes to talk to Beetlejuice and asks if he is a ghost, to which the character replies, “I’m the ghost with the most, babe!" Beetlejuice then tries to get Lydia to say his name three times, to no avail. The two characters then play charades so that Lydia can figure out his name, which also makes for a comedic scene, with Beetlejuice conjuring up a...
