History[]
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice[]
Jeremy was a teen with family problems. Not that coming from a respected well-to-do family is a problem, but Jeremy loathed them all. In 2000, Jeremy murdered his dad and mom in the house, before going out to the tree house to try to escape the police. He fell from the tree house, landing on his neck, killing him. For the past 23 years, 5 months and 14 days, he would haunt his house and the tree house outside giving the house the name "Murder House" but was unable to go further beyond his home. The realtor, Little Jane Butterfield found herself stuck with the house.
One day in late October, Astrid Deetz had busted in through a fence to his yard, coming to his tree house. Jeremy noticed that she thought he was living, so he befriended her as he had plans for her. He shares a passion for old literature when the two connect over liking Crime and Punishment. The two spent time hanging out. On Halloween night, he had invited her over. Astrid came to his room upstairs in the house. He decorated his room with decorations from the basement. His costume was James Dean, but he commented that his parents thought he looked more like Richie from Happy Days.
Upon kissing Astrid, it was revealed that he was actually dead, when he levitated in the air. He made up and excuse for his death. He said that he used to steal his dad's beers and hide in the treehouse and that one day after him and his dad got into a fight he slipped while doing this. He actually fell and broke his neck when the police tried to get him out of the treehouse to arrest him. Jeremy explained he couldn't go farther than the tree outside. He showed her his Handbook for the Recently Deceased, explaining how everyone gets a copy after they die.
He had her join him in going to the afterlife, saying he found a way to be human again, but he needed the help of a living person. He said he'd lead her to her father Richard if she accompanied him. He had fooled her as he had her read an incantation that trading her living life for his that opened the door to the afterlife. He led her through the door and at the ticket booth his real intentions were revealed. Astrid was then taken away from him to the 8:35 train on the Soul Train.
Jeremy had believed that; he had outsmarted Astrid, telling her and her parents that they're too late. But Beetlejuice had rejected his incantation papers at immigration at Window 11, stamping it; with a stamp that said, "Shit Out of Luck!". He had pulled a level that; opened a drop-door to send him directly to the Fires of Damnation effectively ending his new life; before it could; even begin.
