Actor AU Part 2: Electric Bugaloo
Beetlejuice gets very caught up in his characters. He once heard someone swear on set and immediately covered Lydia's ears. She then stared him right in the eye and repeated it. Once he got out of the character headspace he and Lydia had a good laugh.
Jacques had to call in sick one day. By lunchtime he received a picture of a plastic prop skeleton in his costume with Beetlejuice's arm slung over the shoulder. It was sent with the message, 'Luckily we found a stand-in. Get well soon!'
A couple months later Beetlejuice had to take a day off for personal reasons. Of course, he received a picture. It showed Ginger, Jacques, and Lydia standing around a mossy rock and laughing. The message, 'Shame we can't hire the temp full-time. These puns rock!', accompanied the picture.
Shortly after another one of Jacques kissing the rock was sent to him, 'Don't worry. I won't take you for granite.'
The show has a ton of outtakes of the Deetzes meeting Lydia's Neitherworld friends. A fan favorite is Delia and Ginger talking about their artistic endeavors.
Speaking of fans, some will bring pictures of the tv show or gross stuff (mostly trash) to get signed by Beetlejuice. He and the rest of the cast think it's great. Charles got a picture of the mossy rock signed, which was later framed in the break room.
A fan once brought Lydia a picture of a graveyard at twilight to sign. She was immediately taken by the composition and colors. Aspiring photographers will bring her pictures to review. Lydia feels a little weird critiquing the work of her fans, but loves to see the creativity.
The Monster From Across The Street is a diehard fan of the Looney Tunes. He has been called the sentient escaped beard of Yosemite Sam. Whenever he gets into a long string of expletives there is always someone outside the shot mouthing, âPlease just say fuck.â
Poopsie is just a puppet. But the Monster does have a small dog that looks like a maltese named Tex (short for Texas Tasmanian Terror). The dog is actually an old sweetheart.Someone will ask how his day is and then be bombarded with pictures of his dog. His personal favorite is of Tex in a cowboy hat. It's the Monster's phone background.
