TheNeitherworld inBeetlejuiceis expandedin the sequel, featuring more locations, characters, and rules regarding the afterlife process.

The original Beetlejuice established interesting afterlife rules, but the sequel doesnt seem to follow one interesting Neitherworld aspect.

The Neitherworld’s suicide rule isn’t the only aspect ofBeetlejuice’s afterlife that has resulted in some head-scratching.

There’s also the 125-year rule andBeetlejuice 2’s lack of time dilation as opposed to the original movie.

Though Beetlejuice showed that time moved differently in the afterlife, that isn’t the case in the sequel.

That seems like clarificationBeetlejuice 2would have stated in further explaining the presence of some of Neitherworld’s civil servants.

Without any direct explanations, afterlife rules will remain confusing whether there are retcons or not.
