Never Trust the Unliving

Halfred: "Hey, folks! Now that Spooky Season is almost here, or is already underway if you're a true enthusiast, I wanted to talk a little bit about the worlds of the living and dead blurring during this time of year. I assure you, there is no cause for alarm, but you may notice signs of the afterlife around your home occasionally."

Halfred: "For example, you might notice the newly departed hanging around a bit as they try to navigate their new existence. Just be polite, and they will be too."

Halfred: "Hey there, little spirit. Whatcha readin'? Looks important."

Ghost: "I can't tell! This thing reads like stereo instructions."

Halfred: "Trust me, most of the spooky activity you will encounter will be totally benign. The only thing you really have to watch out for, is a sandworm infestation."

Halfred: "Sometimes, someone forgets and leaves a door open somewhere and, well... they get curious and come into our world. They are mischievous creatures, after all."

Halfred: "The best thing to do is to make sure you don't accidentally leave any foodstuffs unattended that might attract them."

Halfred: "And if you should happen to see one, it's very important that you don't panic."

Halfred: "AHHHHHH SANDWORM!"

Halfred: "AHHHHH, OOF!"

Halfred: "PLEASE DON'T EAT ME! MANDRAKES DON'T TASTE GOOD! I'M MOSTLY BARK!"

Halfred: "Wait... I... I think it's leaving..."

Halfred: "Phew! That was a close one. Like I was saying... don't panic and you'll be fine. Okay?"

Halfred: "Ugh... It's hard work being a Spooky Season Wellness Advocate. Is it nap time yet?"

Trigun Stargaze - Episode 1 “Wandering Days”

alright let’s do this.

see here for the pages on trespassing, soul suckers, and the grim reaper (yes, the grim reaper is canon to the beetlejuice cinematic universe).

yes, i know the page is unreadable. the shot lasts maybe two seconds and the words aren’t in focus for any of them. but, eyes be damned, i need the lore, so check the alt text for a transcription.

ugh. that was a pain to try and read.

implications under the cut!

for whatever reason, it is important that the rectangle is completed. they state it twice on these pages. if they’d gone with rule of three i’d be convinced that something terrible happens if the rectangle is incomplete.

“Sandworm” is a proper noun.

betelgeuse surviving the sandworm was not a fluke. sandworms can’t permakill ghosts.

therefore, delores WILL reform.

we see from beej’s and delores’s terrified reactions to the worms that eat them that sandworms are, in fact, feared by ghosts—even by the older ones who should know that they won’t be double-dead. same for the page, which calls the sandworms dangerous and says only to summon them in emergencies. ghosts can be physically harmed, as shown by betelgeuse cutting barbara’s hand and adam hurting betelgeuse’s foot, so it’s reasonable to believe that being eaten hurts a TON.

also, being eaten by sandworms sends ghosts back to the waiting room, which i can’t imagine is a thrilling prospect. it also potentially diminishes power—betelgeuse can’t defend himself against the witch doctor, although he’s possibly just less powerful in the netherworld. sandworms are also said to be soul sucker’s weaknesses, so maybe soul suckers also lose their power? and maybe, just maybe, they also lose the souls they’ve sucked? MAYBE BOB IS OKAY????????? let me dream

the term “fleshbag” is official handbook language, not wolf jackson language.

the language in the book implies that living people have died to sand worms before.

rory formed in the afterlife as a million tiny particles. (deserved.) maybe he can shapeshift like he’s made out of sand, that would be cool. he doesn’t deserve to be that cool.

sandworms are theorized to have sensitive eyes! this isn’t an implication, really—i’m directly paraphrasing the book—but i think it’s neat!
