Warning: Major spoilers for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Made some big reveals about the title bio-Exorcist, the deets, and the afterlife, but it also left some big unanswered questions and mysteries that a third movie must solve (if it happens). In 1988, Tim Burton introduced the world to Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), a chaotic bio-exorcist cursed to be trapped in the netherworld but who can be summoned by saying his name three times. However, Beetlejuice’s challenge means unleashing horrifying chaos in the land of the living and the netherworld, albeit with his unique sense of humor.
Over thirty years after the events of the first movie, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Reunites audiences with Lydia (Winona Ryder), Delia (Katherine O’Hara), and Astrid Deutz (Jena Ortega) as they return to Winter River after Charles’ death. When the skeptical Astrid ends up in the netherworld after being tricked by her date, Lydia summons Beetlejuice to help her save her daughter. Meanwhile, Beetlejuice is being hunted down by his deceased ex-wife, Delores (Monica Bellucci), a soul-sucking witch. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Brought many answers and reveals, but also left some mysteries for a third movie to solve.

Why can’t Richard visit from the afterlife?
Astrid’s father died in the Amazon
In the beginning of Beetlejuice BeetlejuiceLydia and Astrid have an estranged relationship. Astrid’s father died before the events of the movieAnd Lydia and Astrid’s relationship was deeply affected by it. Lydia used her psychic abilities to host a medium-related TV show, and Astrid resented her because she could see ghosts but not her father. When Astrid is tricked by Jeremy (Anthony Conti) into giving up her life so he can be resurrected, Astrid is escorted to the platform of the soul train, where she sees her father working at the station.
Richard tells Astrid that although he hasn’t visited them as a ghost, he has kept a close eye on them all this time from the netherworld.
later, Lydia and Astrid reunite with Richard in the netherworld after he saves them of the sandworms. Richard tells Astrid that although he hasn’t visited them as a ghost, he has kept a close eye on them all this time from the netherworld. However, this does not explain why he cannot visit them, any more than he is already in the non-world. As Richard died in the Amazon, he would have been confined there, but he had already moved into the afterlife.

Why is Richard a civil servant?
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice changed a key netherworld rule
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Changed an important part of the netherworld that was even used as a dark joke in the first movie. in BeetlejuiceIt was revealed that Those who die by suicide end up becoming civil servantsAs was the case for Miss Argentina (Patrice Martinez), the receptionist in the Netherworld’s waiting room. Miss Argentina famously mentioned that if she had known then what she was doing now, she would not have had her “little accident”, showing her split wrists.
Richard didn’t die by suicide – he died in a boating accident in Brazil.
now, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Reveals Richard works at the train stationThis means that he is a servant in the nether world. However, taking into account the rule about civil servants in the afterlife, it does not make sense that Richard became one. Richard did not die by suicide – he died in a boating accident in Brazil, while on a trip to fight for climate justice, but the authorities never found his body. Unless the deceased can get a job in the netherworld, it doesn’t make sense that Richard became a civil servant.

What was Adam and Barbara’s loophole?
Lydia mentions why the Maitlands are no longer around
The two big ones left in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice are Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara Maitland (Geena Davis), although when you take into account that as ghosts they are not supposed to age, it is understandable that they are not included. Barbara and Adam died in the beginning of Beetlejuice and were sentenced to spend the next 125 years in their home. at the end of Beetlejuice, The Maitlands and Deetses agreed to live at homeBut at the time of the events of the sequel, the Maitlands are gone.

Beetlejuice dodges the sandworm, which eats Delores and Rory.

Beetlejuice, knowing what would happen to him if he was eaten by him, dodges the sandworm, which eats Delores and Rory. Rory will not appear again, so he may now be in the Netherworld’s waiting room.

Delia is last seen arriving at the Soul Train platform and reuniting with Charles, with whom she boards the train to the Great Beyond. It goes without saying that this is the last step in a death journeyHowever Beetlejuice 3 Can clarify this by revealing what is in the big over and if Delia can still come back.

Why didn’t Delia help Lydia convince Astrid that spirits are real?
Astrid didn’t believe Lydia for years
in BeetlejuiceLydia was the only one who could see the Maitlands, but everyone could see Beetlejuice and the chaos he unleashed. The Maitlands possessing the Deets and friends at dinner (the unforgettable “Day-O” scene) and the presence of Beetlejuice has turned the Deets into believers of ghosts and the afterlife. in Beetlejuice BeetlejuiceAstrid does not believe that Lydia can see ghosts because she cannot see or communicate with Richard, and Delia knows well that Astrid is a non-believer.

And yet, Delia does nothing to convince Astrid that ghosts are real, And she doesn’t talk about their past experience in the house With the Maitlands and Beetlejuice. This is quite fitting with Delia, as she’s always been pretty detached from everything but herself and her art, so there’s really no reason for her to try to convince Astrid – but it would be worth mentioning how Delia deals with their experience with Beetlejuice during all the years in-between movies.

Does Astrid also have psychic abilities?
Astrid can suddenly see ghosts
Astrid is a non-believer until she learns that her date is a ghost. Astrid meets Jeremy after she crashes into the tree where his treehouse is.

To Astrid’s surprise, when Jeremy kisses her, they begin to float, and this is how she learns that he is a ghost – what she did not count on was Jeremy using her to exchange her life for his.
Meeting Jeremy is Astrid’s first experience with meeting a ghost, so it Leave aside the question of whether or not she always had psychic abilities like Lydia. If she does, there is also the question of what Astrid will now do with this ability, but if she does not, there is the mystery of what she can see and interact with Jeremy, and why she also saw his parents in the House.

Why is Beetlejuice so obsessed with Lydia (and marrying her, specifically)?
Beetlejuice kept a photo of Lydia on his desk
in BeetlejuiceThe bio-exorcist uses Lydia’s desperation to force her to marry him: Lydia needs him to save the Maitlands and Beetlejuice needed to marry a living woman That way his curse will be broken and he can pass into the world of the living. Thanks to Barbara and a sandworm, the wedding didn’t happen and Beetlejuice was sent back to the no-world waiting room after the sandworm ate him.
Surely, Lydia can’t be the only woman he tried to marry in between movies.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Reveals that the bio-exorcist keeps a photo of Lydia on his desk and still plans to marry her someday, so much so that he makes sure to send her messages through random appearances.

Can Delores return?
Delores may not be gone for good

Where is Beetlejuice?
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice teased the return of the bio-exorcist
Unfortunately for Beetlejuice, he still can’t marry Lydia Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. After the sandworm eats Delores and Rory, Astrid announces that the signed agreement between Beetlejuice and Lydia is invalid because he violated the rules of the handbook, so Lydia does not have to marry him. Lydia then says his name three times and Beetlejuice explodes. Beetlejuice is not shown again except in dreams and visions that Lydia has, very much like the ones she has at the beginning of the movie.
It is also unclear if Lydia’s dreams and visions at the end were provoked by Beetlejuice or were a trauma response.
It is therefore unclear if Beetlejuice is back in the Netherworld’s waiting room (and if so, would he meet Delores and/or Rory?), in his office, or somewhere else in the afterlife. It’s also unclear if Lydia’s dreams and visions at the end were provoked by Beetlejuice or were a trauma response, but all of this could be resolved in a third movie.
