Beetlejuice wasn't Juno's assistant when he was alive. "He was my assistant, but he was a troublemaker. He went out on his own as a freelance bio-exorcist. Claimed he could get rid of the living. Got into more trouble."... He was already a ghost when he was Juno's assistant. Juno is a modern business type woman with a slit throat. Beetlejuice had been dead since the dark ages.
@@notalithiumbarbiedoll3535 I don't think she was killed. I always saw it as self-inflicted. She herself was the one who told the Maitlands that those who die by suicide become servants in the afterlife. She's a servant, so she must have died by suicide.
Juno's real age is unknown as all of the dead tend to dress and act modern, regardless of when they died. She likely cut her own throat since the "civil servants" of the afterlife have apparently all committed sewerslide. Beetlejuice is several hundred years old but acts like he was born in the 1950's.

In my head cannon beetlejuice died at a black plague party, apparently parties were common because they knew it was their last moments. Makes sense for his decaying look and life (or death) is a party attitude.
He lived THROUGH the black plague. Not only that but he was a civil servant in the afterlife, and only suicides have to do that according to the movie.
Another hint that Beetlejuice committed suicide, was Otho jokes those who commit suicide become civil servants in the afterlife, and since Juno was his once his boss, that meant he would have been a civil servant.
3:23 you know who always freaked me out about Adam and Barbara looking normal? I always thought that everyone in the afterlifes perception of themselves were normal, and so that meant Adam and Barbara actually look like the drownning victims at the end of creepshow, which makes it even more creepy to me that Lydia wasn't afraid of them.
Yeah that's what I thought. I just been a detail missed by the studio or just an aesthetic purpose because they were the leads, but that makes it make a lot more sense. Unless it was the impact that killed them.
@@mysticalmargaret6105 Like I said, in the original script, he was a demon masquerading as a ghost. He was never human but was pretending to be to gain trust.
I always believed that Beetlejuice was at one point a manipulative con artist who got in trouble and was murdered and in turn vowed vengeance against the world of the living (in a comedic way).
There's no way he could have been murdered because he was Juno's assistant. Remember what they said in the movie people who commit suicide have to be civil servants in the afterlife. So the only person who could have killed him was him.
@AnneHathawayRules Your right. Maybe then he took his own life because no matter what he would do everyone he ever pissed off wanted him dead as a doornail.
@@petrolhead0387 I mean that makes sense and I like it, but that does kind of bummed me out because I did think for almost 40 years that you had to have been a suicide to be a civil servant in the afterlife 😢 however Beetlejuice is a BAD GUY so maybe this black and white clip is a lie he's telling Lydia to get her sympathy.
I think they should make another Beetlejuice movie that shows who Beetlejuice was and what he did before he I guess died and turned into the thing that he is now I think it might be interesting!
Betelgeuse and Beetlejuice are pronounced the same. His name is Betelgeuse, but it’s spelled Beetlejuice in the title of the film because it was easier for audience and provided gross imagery to illiterate how nasty the demon is.
Well, it was easier for the American producers to pronounce. 🙂 Example 247,957 of Americans in general being considered stupid and/or ignorant by the Hollywood producers who are stupid, ignorant, racist and sexist and just project their bullshit onto everyone else. ;-)
The car salesman was known for much more than crazy commercials... and his name was Cal not Carl. He used to actually have elephants on his car lot in the 70s and 80s and would give kids elephant rides while parents shopped... and his famous line was "its Cal Worthington and his dog Spot".. but spot was never a dog.. it was always some other ridiculous animal and thats what made his commercials true TV history for Southern Californians.. to this day his lot is still there ran by the family... but Cal and his dog spot passed a long while ago.
@MoviesTierList Hey it's good video. The slip felt like classic recording bumps. On the upside I did an auteur study on Tim Burton back at college. I know for fact you are spot on with all of this because he talks about it in Sight and Sound mag. Good research
I saw this in theaters when it came out when i was a kid. I figured he died from the plague based on his look and what they said about appearance and cause of death.
I saw this play... it was AMAZING!!! The improve abilities of the Beetlejuice actor were phenomenal. A lady in the balcony started cackling so hard it delayed the show by ten or so mins.... he was flirting and teasing her so hard that she couldn't stop 😅

2:04 Where did you get that pronunciation? Betelgeuse has ALWAYS been pronounced "beetle juice" in English. I learned that in astronomy when I was a kid in the 1970s. When the movie came out, I thought it was funny that they named him after the star in Orion.
What a treat, excellent video fun to watch. Made me feel like a part of it because you guys all like Beetlejuice so much and that movie was a part of me since day 1. One of the first movies I remember seeing was Batman returns starring Michael Keaton in 1992 at a movie theater that hasn't existed in over 30 years. Michael Keaton and tim Burton are literally the reason me and my brothers love movies so much 👍
3:14 If he’s from 1350, we can assume why he saw Lydia (16) as a Bride option, given the Age of Consent (AOC) was 12 yrs old at the time and she’s well over that. That said, he’s obviously “hip to the times” and knows the AOC’s changed alot, specifically in the State of Vermont, which is 18, not 16 like some states.
Spelled Betelgeuse. The name for this star was derived from Arabic Yad al-Jawzā’ "the hand of al-Jawzā’ [i.e. Orion]". But was misread as Ba al-Jawzā’ by Europeans giving the name Betelgeuse. Nothing related to angels.

I made up my own backstory for Beetlejuice. I know, it's gonna feel dated after Beetlejuice 2 comes out. Keaton Michaels was a snake oil salesman from Texas in 1888. He often hitched a ride with a traveling circus, offering deals to nearby circus customers. The circus folk got tired of his schemes and abandoned him in the desert. He was suffering in the heat when a caravan approached him. They were a Native American tribe who offered him a sip of a special life enhancing water, enough hydration to last for weeks. They sent him on his way, but Keaton wasn't done with them. He caught up to them at night while they hit a rest spot, and sneakily snagged the magic water and placed a bottle of snake oil in its place. He was immediately caught and tied up. The chief put a curse on him, by tethering his soul to a star in the night sky. The chief explains the curse to him in vivid detail, the name Betelgeuse becoming his weakness and his power. They left him behind, where they rendered him unable to move unless someone says Betelgeuse three times. But it was too late, Keaton died of dehydration, and his body was found later and given a proper burial. Keaton's ghost would go on to work for Juno. Edit: The sequel film has released. My comment has aged poorly and is way off base from the official backstory.
Behold ladies and gentlemen, we have a writer. Bravo. Seriously someone should give you some money to turn that treatment into an officially cannon graphic novel of Beetlejuice's origins. Well done.
@@kirkstinson7316 You're right, he did say that. But is it true, or is he lying? He also said he attended Julliard, and is a graduate of the Harvard business school. Those didn't exist until after the plague, and they've never graduated ghosts. But it's certainly possible he's seen The Exorcist 167 times, whether played on a living person's tv or perhaps the afterlife screens the film. I wrote my backstory based on the way Beetlejuice speaks, the bio-exorcist commercial he showed the Maitlands, and even his appearance to a certain degree. Remember, in this version of the afterlife, ghosts resemble what they looked like when they died. Beetlejuice looks like he suffered a slow decay of sorts, like hunger or dehydration.
Betelgeuse is the correct spelling. The marketing people for the movie didn’t think people could pronounce the original spelling so they just rewrote it for marketing.
I think B is just a metaphor. I’ve always thought that, deep down, he is satan trying to get out of hell. You can only get “me” if you know my name. What I did/do is not important until I’m gone. Then it’s your problem because it was you who called me here.
I wrote a story eerily similar Senior HS. I hated it. I was embarrassed to hand it in. The teacher loved it and actually wanted to talk to me about it in front of the class - this was 1983 way before the movie. I still hate the story and I walked out of the theater.
You're right, I saw a few episodes when I was little, I should have included that in the animated series the relationship between Beetle and Lydia was more like uncle and niece for example.
Beetle Juice was played by Michael Keaton? Wow, how did I not realize that BatMan doesn’t only complete the Joker, he IS the Joker, I mean in a way since Beetle Juice does look like Heath Ledger’s joker quite a bit.
An interesting take on the origins: Juno is Hera. Zeus’s third wife from Roman/Greek Mythology All the old gods also have a star in the sky named after them
1:44 Actually they DON’T sound the same. While the character’s name IS pronounced as it’s spelled (Beetle and Juice) the star Betelgeuse is ACTUALLY pronounced bet-al-juice.
TRUE 👍 ! Anyone familiar with etymology would instantly recognize " bet " & " al " ( as well as a , an , anu , e , el , en , set , & dozens more ) Good luck finding ANY post-1982 ( i.e. DoE ) school even remotely mentioning such , however. The governments priority is to Dumb-Down the populace to keep them controllable.
😅 I love Beetlejuice since I was a kid but if I can be honest.. When I was a kid I was a Christian and I got a Beetlejuice toy from McDonald's and something weird happened my mom told me that it was an evil toy and that I should throw it away when I threw it into the trash can the toy flew out of the trash can back to me in front of my mom we were like 😮wow.. So there's something about the character all right.
Imagine if a 1980s Clive Barker got ahold of this script first. Probably would’ve also been a great movie in a very different way. (I vote for exact same cast, btw. 😜)
I saw the musical in Chicago. It was freaking awesome. I'd recommend it if you havent seen it yet. I would not recommend bringing your kids unless they're teenagers or older.
The influence for the look of Beetlejuice is in the Dangerous Brothers on british tv in 1980. Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson's (Young Ones/Bottom) 1st appearance on tv as a comedic duo. Look at Adrian It's clearly all there. If it's not it's an odd uncanny coincidence.
I remember in 88, movies were cheap and all were worth a watch. I couldn't even pronounce it.1 screen only.didnt know who tim Burton was, but I liked pee wee.but saying the name people looked at you and said " point at it"
Obrigado pelas informações. É realmente incrível que este personagem seja tão icônico e saibamos tão pouco sobre suas origens. Iniciativas como a sua, em nos trazer estes dados são significativas para os fãs em níveis preciosos.
I would comment on how the use of AI doesn't do any favor to the video but in Spain no one says 'beetlekus' or whatever. It's Bitelchús, pronounced almost as 'Beetlechoose'.
Seeing Michael Keaton reprising one of his iconic roles is awesome in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” 🪲😄🪲 and I can’t wait to see the long-awaited sequel this Fall!
No...He worked with Juno once he was dead. It is clearly stated that suicides have to do vivil service work. Juno cut him loose and put him away, due to his crazy and unprofessional behavior.
Maybe Beetlejuice’s memory is selective and therefore similar to that of The Joker. The Joker once famously said "If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!" In Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, he explains how he died to some of his shrunken head employees. What he said I’m not going to say here in case it may ruin the movie for some of you that haven’t seen it, but he didn’t kill himself in that story. So I think it’s extremely possible that Beetlejuice’s past is multiple choice like The Joker’s.
I often thought that the form 'Betelgeuse' is just an archaic spelling, like they would have spell it in medieval english, and that he just stuck to this way of writing it since he's dead for so long

Beetlejuice does remind me of a drunk honestly. He looks like a guy who lost everything and went on a drinking binge, with some stubble and uncombed hair. I think he died during the great depression. Maybe he lost his family in the 1930s because he was unemployed and maybe his wife died from not enough food and he took it personally. That suit just looks like something from that era. The hanging explains the black marks under the eyes. Maybe a white can of paint fell on him after he died which explains the skin color and the once black suit now mostly white.

@@kirkstinson7316 You're right, he did say that. But is it true, or is he lying? He also said he attended Julliard, and is a graduate of the Harvard business school. Those didn't exist until after the plague, and they've never graduated ghosts. But it's certainly possible he's seen The Exorcist 167 times, whether played on a living person's tv or perhaps the afterlife screens the film.
I wrote my backstory based on the way Beetlejuice speaks, the bio-exorcist commercial he showed the Maitlands, and even his appearance to a certain degree. Remember, in this version of the afterlife, ghosts resemble what they looked like when they died. Beetlejuice looks like he suffered a slow decay of sorts, like hunger or dehydration.
Betelgeuse is the correct spelling. The marketing people for the movie didn’t think people could pronounce the original spelling so they just rewrote it for marketing.
Same with Led Zeppelin when it should be Lead Zeppelin.
Can't wait ❤😮
Me 2
Loved your video!!!
Thanks!
I think B is just a metaphor. I’ve always thought that, deep down, he is satan trying to get out of hell. You can only get “me” if you know my name. What I did/do is not important until I’m gone. Then it’s your problem because it was you who called me here.
The signature stripes, which were considered to be a mark of the devil in medieval times.
I have a feeling his background will be explored in the sequel coming out next week. ;)
O shit, you said it three times.
I wrote a story eerily similar Senior HS. I hated it. I was embarrassed to hand it in. The teacher loved it and actually wanted to talk to me about it in front of the class - this was 1983 way before the movie. I still hate the story and I walked out of the theater.
In the animated series he was more friendly.
You're right, I saw a few episodes when I was little, I should have included that in the animated series the relationship between Beetle and Lydia was more like uncle and niece for example.
Beetle Juice was played by Michael Keaton? Wow, how did I not realize that BatMan doesn’t only complete the Joker, he IS the Joker, I mean in a way since Beetle Juice does look like Heath Ledger’s joker quite a bit.
The new beetlejuice looks more like keaton in halloween makeup intead of an actual character
Thank you to the person who recommended this to me I just finished watching it it was very informative and interesting!
Love beetlejuice!!❤❤❤
Awesome great video
Thanks!
I always thought his rotting boils were because he died of the Black Death.
Good call!
AI cant say Betelgeuse😂
And AI thinks the receptionist is a guy
hahaha it's true right?
Beetlejuice? It can't say Beetlejuice?
Why can't it say... Beetlejuice?------
@@ShadesMan NOOOOOoOooooooo
@@ShadesMan IT'S SHOWTIME!
An interesting take on the origins:
Juno is Hera. Zeus’s third wife from Roman/Greek Mythology All the old gods also have a star in the sky named after them
1:44 Actually they DON’T sound the same. While the character’s name IS pronounced as it’s spelled (Beetle and Juice) the star Betelgeuse is ACTUALLY pronounced bet-al-juice.
I love that's how Monica Bellucci pronounces his name in the trailer 😊
@@AnneHathawayRules Oh really?! That's funny. :)
@@nathanielschwartz425 I mean if you think about it since she's playing his wife technically that makes his name bet-al-juice. It's canon lol 😂
TRUE 👍 !
Anyone familiar with etymology
would instantly recognize " bet "
& " al " ( as well as a , an , anu ,
e , el , en , set , & dozens more )
Good luck finding ANY post-1982
( i.e. DoE ) school even remotely
mentioning such , however.
The governments priority is to
Dumb-Down the populace to keep
them controllable.
I still feel like I don't know who tf he is but this was nice.
Same
😅 I love Beetlejuice since I was a kid but if I can be honest..
When I was a kid I was a Christian and I got a Beetlejuice toy from McDonald's and something weird happened my mom told me that it was an evil toy and that I should throw it away when I threw it into the trash can the toy flew out of the trash can back to me in front of my mom we were like 😮wow..
So there's something about the character all right.
Always listen to your Momma.
Imagine if a 1980s Clive Barker got ahold of this script first. Probably would’ve also been a great movie in a very different way. (I vote for exact same cast, btw. 😜)
I saw the musical in Chicago. It was freaking awesome. I'd recommend it if you havent seen it yet. I would not recommend bringing your kids unless they're teenagers or older.
It must have been amazing, you are lucky!
It would be cool to see a stand alone beetle juice, who he was when he was alive
I like the original origin they planned the one where he self deleted it really adds to his character and makes him more tragic.
Plus it makes sense the workers self deleted.
The influence for the look of Beetlejuice is in the Dangerous Brothers on british tv in 1980.
Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson's (Young Ones/Bottom) 1st appearance on tv as a comedic duo. Look at Adrian It's clearly all there. If it's not it's an odd uncanny coincidence.
I always thought the afterlife in Beetlejuice was nonlinear. As you can have ghosts and spirits from almost any time in history
Depends on whether they’ve crossed over or not.
I remember in 88, movies were cheap and all were worth a watch. I couldn't even pronounce it.1 screen only.didnt know who tim Burton was, but I liked pee wee.but saying the name people looked at you and said " point at it"
Obrigado pelas informações. É realmente incrível que este personagem seja tão icônico e saibamos tão pouco sobre suas origens. Iniciativas como a sua, em nos trazer estes dados são significativas para os fãs em níveis preciosos.
Thanks to you!
In Spain his name is "Bitelchús", it's pronounced /biːtl·ˈtʃuːz/. It's just a tipical Spanish joke that some people make with some movie titles.
I would comment on how the use of AI doesn't do any favor to the video but in Spain no one says 'beetlekus' or whatever. It's Bitelchús, pronounced almost as 'Beetlechoose'.
Seeing Michael Keaton reprising one of his iconic roles is awesome in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” 🪲😄🪲 and I can’t wait to see the long-awaited sequel this Fall!
@brittanyc.4540 shame no gena Davis return as a ghost
No...He worked with Juno once he was dead. It is clearly stated that suicides have to do vivil service work. Juno cut him loose and put him away, due to his crazy and unprofessional behavior.
Its also a star constellation 👌
Until the first movie, I thought Betelgeuse was pronounced the way the astronaut did near the beginning of "Planet of the Apes."
I was gonna say the same thing!
A was 4 when this came out and a can still remember says it all
I watched the sequel and it told his backstory very well
It would've been a very different movie with Sammy Davis, Jr. as Beetlejuice.
That's cool..take this genre to a prequel..
Now we know how he died in the new movie
How did his head unshrink from the first movie ?
"Betelgeuce" is pronounced "Beetle Juice". That's the whole point.
Loved his irreverent personality. A bit like Rick Sanchez ( _Rick and Morty_ ).
Maybe Beetlejuice’s memory is selective and therefore similar to that of The Joker. The Joker once famously said "If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!" In Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, he explains how he died to some of his shrunken head employees. What he said I’m not going to say here in case it may ruin the movie for some of you that haven’t seen it, but he didn’t kill himself in that story. So I think it’s extremely possible that Beetlejuice’s past is multiple choice like The Joker’s.
Sam Kinison as Beetlejuice would've been wild!
Barely really went into anything about the origin of the character, still it was a pretty decent video
I often thought that the form 'Betelgeuse' is just an archaic spelling, like they would have spell it in medieval english, and that he just stuck to this way of writing it since he's dead for so long
Kinnison in this role? i had no idea he was considered. id have loved that!
6:55 ????? What happened? You were cut off mid word and... Was this intentional??
No it wasn't intentional, sadly., due to copyright issues I had to modify that part :c Maybe I'll re-upload it
Sorry for that ending, copyright issues. On the channel you can already see the final part solved with additional information. Greetings!

Nice. Congrats to a llng happy marriage of the talented and beautiful Katherine O Hara.😀
SO much for all these theories in the comments, I saw Beetlejuice 2 😂
movie use to be spelled differently until they changed it
Yes, I have a 1992 VHS copy that says Beetleguese.
The origin is revealed in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Not to slight Michael's performance (brilliant) but Sam Kinison's would have been outrageous.
I love Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 2024 September 6 only in theaters
I always thought he was the alter ego of the former mayor of Chicago.
He's the ghost with the most, babe
6:55 what happened with the sound here for the rest of the video?
What happened towards the end of the video it cut out to ominous music?

6:13
OMG, IM IMAGINING SAM KINISON AS BEETLEJUICE, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME! LOL
"Nice fuckin' model--AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!"
Beetlejuice and Disney’s Hades are my favorite characters
Beetlejuice does remind me of a drunk honestly. He looks like a guy who lost everything and went on a drinking binge, with some stubble and uncombed hair. I think he died during the great depression. Maybe he lost his family in the 1930s because he was unemployed and maybe his wife died from not enough food and he took it personally. That suit just looks like something from that era. The hanging explains the black marks under the eyes. Maybe a white can of paint fell on him after he died which explains the skin color and the once black suit now mostly white.
Bitelchus would actually be a great black metal moniker!
Does the vocal track cut out at around 6:55 for anyone else?
Yes, sorry for that ending. They silenced it due to copyright. There is a link to the end of the solved video. thanks for watching!
Audio at the end cuts out
Yes, sorry for that ending. They silenced it due to copyright. There is a link to the end of the solved video. thanks for watching!
Please advise Betelguise Horus necromancy is the unpardonable sin
When you cut off Cal Worthington,
that's when things went wrong.
