Beetlejuice is an American fantasy horror comedy media franchise that originated with the film Beetlejuice (1988). The overall plot centers around a deceased couple who try to haunt the new inhabitants of their former home and call for help from a devious bio-exorcist ghost named Betelgeuse (after the star; the name is pronounced and often spelled "Beetlejuice"), who is summoned by saying his name three times. One of the new inhabitants is a young girl, Lydia, who is dealing with her mother's death and her neglectful father.

The original film was met with critical and commercial success and numerous accolades. The franchise expanded with the release of an animated television series, a stage musical, several video games, and an eventual sequel film.
