However, the realtor who sold them the house, Jane ( Annie McEnroe), tries to entice them to sell the house, since it seems too big for just a couple. The Maitlands reject her pleas and head to town. On the way home they swerve to avoid a dog, which sends them into a river where they drown. Okay, fine, she does more than that. But you can feel her hesitancy. Or maybe I’m projecting that onto her.

In another version of the script, the film concludes with the Maitlands, Deetzes, and Otho conducting an exorcism ritual that destroys Betelgeuse and the Maitlands transforming into miniature versions of themselves and moving into Adam's model of their home, which they refurbish to look like their house before the Deetzes moved in. Beetlejuice has a large social media following. One of the original understudies, Presley Ryan, often posted videos of herself and the cast to TikTok, and many went viral. The show leaned into its online popularity and hosted virtual costume contests, fan art contests, and more for its online fanbase, especially when live theatre first shut down in 2020. Both Adam and Barbara struggle to stop Beetlejuice, who sends Adam into the model and Barbara to the sandworm planet. Through a joint effort, they do away with Beetlejuice and save Lydia.

Rather than the Beetlejuice musical being the basis for a film, it's the other way around. The musical was adapted from the hit 1988 Tim Burton film, which featured a starry cast led by Michael Keaton and soon became a cult classic. The film won the Academy Award for Best Makeup as well as three Saturn Awards: Best Horror Film, Best Makeup, and Best Supporting Actress for Sylvia Sidney, who played Juno. Pauline Kael called the film a "comedy classic", [19] while Jonathan Rosenbaum of Chicago Reader gave a highly positive review. Rosenbaum felt Beetlejuice had originality and creativity absent from other films. [31] Vincent Canby of The New York Times called it "a farce for our time" and wished Keaton had more screen time. [32] Desson Howe of The Washington Post felt Beetlejuice had "the perfect balance of bizarreness, comedy and horror". [33] Frantic, Lydia rushes to the model and sees Beetlejuice in the graveyard. She begs him to help her. Beetlejuice agrees on the condition that Lydia marries him. She agrees to this, and the Maitlands are saved. However, Beetlejuice then holds Lydia to her word, and holds Charles and Delia hostage as 'witnesses,' as Otho escapes. Alyssa Milano regrets losing a certain role to Winona Ryder".
