When Barbara and Adam Maitland die suddenly in a car accident, they become ghosts who are trapped haunting their house in Winter River, Connecticut. The house is purchased by the Deetz family, who includes Charles Deetz, a former real estate developer, his eccentric wife Delia and his goth teenage daughter, Lydia. The Maitlands try to scare the Deetzes to get them to leave. After all of their attempts fail, they contact a “bio-exorcist” named Beetlejuice to help them drive the family out once and for all.
However, the Maitlands quickly learn that they have made a dangerous mistake. Beetlejuice is a crude and chaotic troublemaker with his own agenda. Lydia, who is the only one in her family who can see the ghosts, befriends the Maitlands. She becomes the target of Beetlejuice’s schemes as he attempts to force Lydia to marry him so he can be free to wreak havoc on the mortal world. In the end, Barbara and Adam save Lydia and come to an agreement with the Deetzes to live in the house together peacefully while Beetlejuice is sent back to the afterlife.
