Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

36 years in the future, Lydia Deetz hosts a supernatural talk show named *Ghost House*. During the show's taping, she starts experiencing unsettling visions of the ghost, Beetlejuice, lurking among the audience.

Lydia's stepmother breaks the news to her that her father, Charles, has passed away. This tragic event leads the family to attend a riverside funeral service, marking a significant moment of loss.

After the funeral, the Deetz family picks up Lydia's daughter, Astrid, from boarding school. This moment emphasizes the family's struggle to navigate through their grief while bringing Astrid back into the fold.

In a surprising turn, Rory proposes to Lydia shortly after the funeral. Meanwhile, Astrid rushes to see her friend, Jeremy, as the family prepares for the upcoming wedding celebrations.

As Halloween approaches, Astrid discovers that her friend Jeremy is actually a ghost. He seeks her help to restore his life, and in exchange, he promises to reunite her with her long-lost father.

Together, Astrid and Jeremy recite an incantation from the *Handbook for the Recently Deceased*. This act transports them to the afterlife, where Lydia uncovers dark truths about Jeremy's past.

Realizing the dangers surrounding Astrid, Lydia invokes Beetlejuice to assist in rescuing her daughter. This desperate measure reveals Lydia's determination to protect her family at all costs.

In a tense standoff, Lydia confronts Jeremy, demanding the safe return of Astrid. Jeremy proposes an unsettling deal: he wants Astrid's hand in marriage in exchange for her freedom, forcing Lydia into a difficult choice.

As Astrid heads towards the afterlife train station, she attempts to catch a soul train that will take her beyond. Luckily, Lydia and Beetlejuice arrive just in time to disrupt this dangerous course.

After an unexpected turn of events, Lydia and Astrid are transported to one of Saturn's moons. They encounter a terrifying Sandworm, but Richard, Lydia's deceased husband, saves them and leads them back to safety.

Back on Earth, chaos erupts at the church as Beetlejuice and Delia crash Lydia's wedding to Rory. The situation escalates dramatically when Rory reveals his true financial motives under truth serum, leading Lydia to fight back.

In a clever twist, Astrid uses the handbook to summon the Sandworm to the church during the wedding. Despite initial mishaps, this plan leads to the demise of both Dolores and Rory.

As the wedding is interrupted, Lydia and Astrid exploit Beetlejuice's breach of contract, resulting in his explosive demise. This moment underscores their victory over his chaotic influence in their lives.

In the aftermath, Lydia decides to retire her show, focusing on spending quality time with Astrid instead. This decision marks a new chapter for both Lydia and Astrid as they navigate their lives post-ordeal.

The duo travels to Transylvania, where Astrid falls for an employee named Vlad. Their budding romance culminates in a wedding, yet Lydia continues to be haunted by frightening nightmares of Beetlejuice.
