Trivia: When Delores is reassembling herself, you can see she is missing the ring finger of her left hand. If you recall, Beetlejuice had this same finger adorned with a ring in his pocket when he attempted to marry Lydia in the first film.

Trivia: Reportedly, Barbara and Adam from the original were going to have a cameo, but it was cut, as Tim Burton doesn't believe current digital de-aging technology is believable enough.

Trivia: One of the conditions Tim Burton and Michael Keaton set for directing and appearing in the film is that they would only make it if they could use practical effects in place of CGI as much as possible, just like the original. This is why the film makes heavy use of things like old-school stop-motion animation and animatronics... CGI was only used when necessary.

Trivia: Brad Pitt, who is a producer on the film, was reportedly going to have a cameo in the afterlife waiting room as a character who was shot in the head (possibly implied to be his character Chad from "Burn After Reading"), but it was cut for one reason or another.

Trivia: Although Adam and Barbara do not return from the first film, small figurines of them are briefly visible when the opening credits are panning over the model of the town.

Phaneron ★

Mistakes

Other mistake: As in the first movie, Bob can't speak as his mouth is sewn shut, and because of this he barely makes any audible sound. So how is the lower body of Chares Deitz able to speak? And, like the magician's assistant who died when she was cut in half, shouldn't the other half of him be in the afterlife with him?

Suggested correction: This is a question, not a mistaken entry. I suspect that in this afterlife the ability to speak is considered important if you don't own a mouth anymore, so it is made possible to speak without one. If it's sewn shut, however, tough luck, figure it out (he can cut his mouth open any time he wants). As for the body parts that were not with him, it's possible the magician's assistant took her lower body with her, and Charles didn't know he could do that with his other body parts.

Questions

Answer: Why are most people so intent on marrying someone? He loves Lydia. In the first movie, she was a teenager, and he mostly needed a wedding to get out of his punishment. In the years since, he appears to have developed more respect and appreciation for her. He stopped her wedding to Roy, exposed Roy's fraud, and transformed their almost-wedding into the smaller, "private" ceremony that she really wanted. He doesn't want to "just find someone else" for the same reasons that many people don't.

Answer: If he marries a human, he can leave limbo and become human again. He needs to get away from his wife, who needs him to complete her blood ritual.

If he just wanted to marry a human, any human, he would not have waited for Lydia. He kept a picture of her on his desk.
