I love the subtle indication that either Barbara or Adam were sterile (I get the feeling from how hurt Barbara looked at the comment she miscarried at some point). It’s not only interesting character development but strengthens their relationship with Lydia as surrogate parents.

People say the Beetlejuice snake scene was scary, but for me it was when the Maitlands died. They died so sudden and without warning. Plus, they didn't pass away in a quick way either, considering they drowned. It was just so ominous that death could happen at any moment when you least expect it.

At least they were together, even in the afterlife, I mean how bad could it really be, if you still have your true 🧀 Love ? When I was 8, I knew a couple like the Maitland's, the Tumineas, and they had a 9 year old son, both parents died in a horrible automobile accident, years later, I saw the son, he was now a Police Officer, I asked if he was Frank and Phyllis son, he said yes, and I told him how their loss was something I never got over. The look of pure hatred from him was scary, down to this day, I wondered how he did not shoot me right then and there. But they were very nice people.

"Functional Perimeters vary from manifestation to manifestation." Essentially, each haunting is different and each ghost only gets a specific area to dwell in, you go outside those perimeters, you break over into the world of the dead as you can only remain in the living world in a place where your particular manifestation (or haunting) can exist. For the Maitland's, it's their family home as it is the place that means the most to them.

6:07 “You know what? I don’t think we survived the crash.” I can definitely picture Maniac Magee’s parents (as ghosts) saying that after drowning in the P&W trolley crash in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania.
