The Maitlands, Jeremy, & Delia Went Through Different Processes

Beetlejuicealso established some of the Neitherworld ’s rules that seemed jolly simple , but the sequel either change them or ignored them , thus creating plot of ground holes . InBeetlejuice , through the Maitlands , it was revealed thatthose who had traumatic deaths were confined to the place where they diedfor many , many old age … except that they died in a river , but were set to spend 125 years in their house , for some reason . However , inBeetlejuice Beetlejuice , Jeremy was circumscribe to his mansion and the tree business firm in his backyardas he killed his parents in the house but died in the tree house .

Tim Burton ’s Beetlejuice delivered a dark clowning which saw Adam and Barbara voyage their hereafter with some help from the Handbook for the dead .

The Maitlands Conveniently Found A Loophole

It was because of that that they wanted to daunt the Deetzes away , but alternatively , they find a way to coexist in the menage . Because of that , the Maitlands should have appeared inBeetlejuice Beetlejuice , but that would have been tricky as they are n’t imagine to age , so the sequel would have to use the controversial de - senescent tech on Davis and Baldwin .

Beetlejuice let out some of the Neitherworld ’s rules when the Maitlands died , but there ’s one affair that bothers me about the Maitlands ' ghosts .

as luck would have it , Burton encounter a way to justify the Maitlands ’ absence seizure inBeetlejuice Beetlejuice – the job is that it left even more doubt . Lydia explained thatthe Maitlands found a loopholein the clausethat tell they had to stay in their house for 125 years and finally moved on . Even Astrid level out “ how commodious ” this was and the motion-picture show never explain what exactly the loophole was and how long had pass since the Maitlands leave the house .

Delia wake up in the waiting way and summoned Beetlejuice in hope that he could help her takings to the land of the living as , according to her , she should n’t have die . Meanwhile , Charles wandered the Neitherworld as he did n’t cognize where to go .

The sequel did n’t really explain the rules or requirements for disembarrass the Soul Train and going to the Great Beyond .

Beetlejuice Beetlejuiceintroduced the Soul Train that hire the deceased to the Great Beyond – the affair is that the continuation did n’t really explain the rule or necessary for riding the train and going to the Great Beyond . Per the rules established inBeetlejuice , Delia and Charles should have also expend some time in the demesne of the aliveness , but for unexplained reasons , they go now to the Soul Train and the Great Beyond after the wait way . It could be possible that those without unfinished business are the one who can move on to the Great Beyond , but it remains ill-defined .

4The Afterlife Rules About Civil Servants Change In Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Astrid’s Father Shouldn’t Have Been Working There, Right?

Another “ rule ” established inBeetlejuicewas thatthose who perish by self-annihilation become polite servants in the afterlife . This even made way for a joke in which the wait way ’s receptionist , Miss Argentina , mentioned that , had she cognise what she now did , she would n’t have had her “ little accident ” , as she showed her slit wrists . However , this principle seemed to have transfer at some pointbetweenBeetlejuiceand the sequel , asAstrid ’s father was revealed to be work at in-migration in the Neitherworld .

The human race of Beetlejuice has a complex afterlife structure , filled with many locations , jobs , ghosts , and a passably hard-and-fast curing of rule .

Richard did n’t die by suicide – Astrid explained he was on a tripper to crusade for climate Justice Department and had a boat stroke in the Amazon , but the authorities never found his organic structure . Richard even had a couple of Pisces tie to different parts of his body , as the beat keep the appearance they had when they died . Richard , then , should n’t be a civic servant , unless now the deceased can get any job they can in the Neitherworld , which would also excuse Beetlejuice ’s job at a call center .
