the dead: Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice

After Barbara (Geena Davis) and Adam Maitland are killed in a car crash, they find themselves trapped as ghosts in their beautiful New England farmhouse.

Their peace is disrupted by the pretentious and obnoxious new owners of their house. Barbara and Adam try to chase them out but they are either ignored or laughed at.

Finding the Handbook for the Recently Deceased unhelpful, they seek advice from their afterworld caseworker Juno (Sylvia Sidney). Eventually, in desperation, the couple contract the services of ‘bio-exorcist’ Beetlejuice in order to remove the new owners.
