Since its announcement, Tim Burton’s highly anticipated Beetlejuice sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, has sparked considerable online discussion.
The sequel features Jenna Ortega, with Michael Keaton reprising his role as the titular ghost and Winona Ryder returning as Lydia Deetz, now a mother to Ortega’s character.
Catherine O’Hara also returns, with Willem Dafoe, Justin Theroux, and Monica Bellucci joining the cast.
However, one actor is notably missing from the lineup, and fans are now uncovering the troubling reason behind their absence.
The original film, released in 1988, remains a beloved comedy-horror classic.
It follows the story of a married couple who, as ghosts, attempt to scare away the family that has moved into their home.
Following its release, the film won the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling and grossed $80 million against a $15 million budget, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
