Adam and Barbara Maitland, a loving couple with a penchant for the odd and unusual, envision restoring the house to its former glory. Little do they know, their new home is inhabited by mischievous spirits and the ghostly denizen, Beetlejuice.
As the Maitlands begin renovations, they encounter strange occurrences that they initially dismiss as mere coincidences. However, when they accidentally perish in a tragic accident on their property, they discover that they are trapped as ghosts within their own home.
Desperate to reclaim their house and seek closure, Adam and Barbara seek guidance from the afterlife’s bureaucracy, but find themselves entangled in a bureaucratic nightmare. They learn that they must haunt their house for 125 years before they can appeal for their freedom.
