Beetlejuice (1988)
Adam and Barbara Maitland are the perfect couple—kind, content, and happily settled in their charming country home. But fate has other plans. After a tragic accident sends them tumbling into the afterlife, they return to their house only to discover a chilling truth: they are ghosts, bound to haunt their beloved home for eternity.
Their peaceful afterlife is shattered when the eccentric Deetz family moves in, bringing with them garish décor and an insatiable appetite for modernity. Desperate to reclaim their home, the Maitlands attempt to scare the new occupants away, but their ghostly antics fall flat. Enter Beetlejuice—a mischievous, unpredictable “bio-exorcist” with a flair for chaos. Summoned to rid the house of its unwelcome guests, Beetlejuice proves to be more trouble than he’s worth, turning their haunting into a full-blown supernatural spectacle.
As the Deetzes’ gothic daughter, Lydia, forms an unlikely bond with the Maitlands, the battle for the house spirals into a whirlwind of bizarre encounters, eerie transformations, and a climactic showdown that threatens to unravel the very fabric of the afterlife. In the end, the Maitlands and Lydia must outwit Beetlejuice before his antics spiral completely out of control.
