Screenwriter Michael McDowell's original script was far darker than the final script, which was rewritten by screenwriters Larry Wilson and Warren Skaaren. Originally it imagined Beetlejuice as a winged demon whose human form was that of a small Middle Eastern man, and his plan for the Deetzes was more about rape and murder than mischief and marriage. Also, the Maitlands’ car crash was far more gruesome. 2. AN EARLY DRAFT OFFERED A MAITLAND HOME FOR EVERYONE. Beetlejuice in the musical is a much more complicated, negative, and even evil character, but also has more of an arc with becoming more sympathetic. His abusive mother Juno and his loneliness at being born dead add a sadness that wasn't there in the movie. He also undergoes a bigger arc in the musical when he finally gets to briefly experience what it's like to be alive after marrying Lydia. Even after she kills him he saves her from his mother as thanks for showing him what it's like to be alive.

In the movie, Otho was an interior designer, but in the musical, he is a con man posing as a guru and life coach. Otho in the movie merely had his outfit changed by Betelgeuse, but in the musical, he is implied to have been killed. At the dinner party, Otho states that people who commit suicide end up as civil servants in the afterlife. The movie further expands on the idea by having Barbara and Adam meet a number of civil servant ghosts who seem to have committed suicide. Grobar, Matt (February 28, 2022).

The film begins with a young couple, Barbara and Adam Maitland, who both live a quiet life in a small country town in Connecticut. During an early morning errand, a freak car accident occurs where the happy couple ends up dead. They soon realize this unfortunate news and have to start learning how to cope with living as ghosts for the next 125 years as a posh New York family moves into their home and starts to redecorate and throw all of their belongings out. This new family includes a young daughter (Winona Ryder), who is strange and unusual, who can actually see the deceased couple and converse with them.

When Adam and Barbara enter Juno’s office, a movie theatre full of ghosts can be seen through her office window. This was supposed to create the illusion that the movie-watchers were in turn being watched by the ghosts. Henry, Alan. "Presley Ryan Will Take Over As Lydia In Beetlejuice Through March".
