Background[]
Betel Geuse Jr. or just Betelgeuse is a very rude and crude ghost. He also gets a little crazy at times. Betelgeuse was born in Italy during the 1300s under the name of Betel Geuse Jr. Soon he began working as a humble grave robber stealing items off of freshly deceased corpses who had been taken by the black plague. It was during one of his rummages that he met a female plague doctor named Delores who he had fallen madly in love with and soon after got married to. After a night of passion on their honeymoon, Dolores gives Betelgeuse a drink before revealing that she was actually the leader of a soul sucking death cult and that she had actually just poisoned him. Feeling betrayed and wrathful against his former wife, Betelgeuse put an end to her with an axe before succumbing to the poison. His parents Nat and Bea Geuse and his brother, Donald "Donny" Geuse are also ghosts. Though he seems fun on screen, it's clear he's not a pleasant person to have around in real life, as he constantly invades people's personal space (even to the point of harassment), does disgusting things like spitting in his own coat and makes rather rude gestures. Not only that, he seems to love to scare people out of their pants and pull pranks on them. He also seems to be quite selfish, as his main goal in the movie is to lift his curse no matter who gets hurt in the process. He has the attitude of a sleazy used car salesman. Ironically, he is a ghost who eats insects. He shows an interest in Lydia Deetz during most of the movie, and in the finale, he tries to force her into marrying him, almost succeeding, until he is stopped by Adam and Barbara Maitland.
Dimension Crisis[]
In the Teen Titans Go! episode, The Dimensions Crisis, Betelgeuse tricks Raven into using her magic to build a giant gargoyle mech that he then uses to cause chaos to ruin the Teen Titans attempt to learn how to become better builders.
