Hey there, movie buffs! If you’ve recently caught Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in cinemas, buckle up for a wild ride as we dissect the mind-bending ending and ponder the future of this quirky franchise.
Since the original Beetlejuice hit the screens way back in 1988, fans have been buzzing about a sequel. From Beetlejuice in Love to Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian, the ideas were aplenty, but the follow-up remained elusive. Until now, that is!
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice finally graces us with its presence, reuniting director Tim Burton with the stellar cast of Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara (minus Jeffrey Jones). The plot? Familiar yet fresh, with new characters and twists thrown into the mix.
So, let’s unravel how this zany tale wraps up and what it means for a potential Beetlejuice 3. Spoiler alert.
In the finale of the latest movie, Beetlejuice gets booted from the land of the living, Lydia and Astrid Deetz find some common ground, and Delia Deetz reunites with her late hubby Charles in the afterlife.
Just like in the original, Beetlejuice is dead-set on marrying Lydia. She reluctantly agrees, striking a deal to save Astrid from a grim fate. Cue a chaotic church showdown!
The wedding kicks off with a bizarre lip-sync to ‘McArthur Park,’ but things take a dark turn as Beetlejuice faces off against Lydia’s fiancé Rory and his soul-sucking ex, Delores.
Astrid swoops in with the ‘Handbook for the Recently Deceased,’ summoning sandworms to devour the villains. Beetlejuice’s wedding plans are foiled due to undead laws, and he’s banished with a classic “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.”
Delia meets her end from asp poison but finds peace reuniting with Charles, boarding the Soul Train together. And no, there’s no post-credits scene to tease us!
The sequel wraps up with a horror-inspired twist. Lydia and Astrid are all smiles, Astrid finds love, gets hitched, and even has a baby – Baby Beetlejuice! But wait, it’s all a nightmare, within a dream, within another dream. Talk about a mind-bender!
Lydia wakes up next to Beetlejuice, realizing it was all a dream. Or was it? The movie ends with Lydia waking up from the second dream, leaving us in a loop of dreams and nightmares.
So, will there be a Beetlejuice 3? Director Tim Burton isn’t too optimistic, joking about being over 100 by then. But hey, with science these days, who knows?
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is now playing in theaters.
