====Peaceful Pines inhabitants====
* '''Charles Deetz''' (voiced by Roger Dunn) – Lydia's father, a nervous man who likes quiet activity and calm. One of his favourite hobbies is [[ornithology]], which he seems to be very fond of, and he also likes [[baseball]]. He is closer to Lydia than Delia is, as they share a love of baseball. Charles is allergic to dogs. He is often the victim of Beetlejuice's continuous pranks and mischief. Despite this, Beetlejuice is oddly quite fond of him, probably because Charles is one of the few people who is always falling for his pranks, usually when Beetlejuice is in his "real-world" guise of "Mr. Beetleman". Charles' catchphrase is "Try to relax. Try to relax.".
* '''Delia Deetz''' (voiced by [[Elizabeth Hanna]]) – Charles Deetz's wife and Lydia's (step-)mother. Delia is an eccentric, air-headed [[yuppie]], who is also somewhat self-absorbed. She deludes herself that she is both a great cook and a great artist ("[he/she/they/you] like it"), and hankers after new clients; however, both her cooking and her surreal art are not well received and Delia just cannot understand why her art is rejected or laughed at (paradoxically, while her weird art is rejected by living people, it is very popular in the Neitherworld). Also, due to her eccentric/air-headed/yuppie nature, Delia is not easily frightened, unlike her husband; being a surrealistic artist, she mistakenly thinks that the frightening things she experiences are part of something else. While she talks about wanting to express her creativity, she also tries to get Lydia to give up her love for scary stuff and focus on cute "normal" stuff (and doesn't notice the [[hypocrisy]] in her actions); this was emphasized briefly in "Critter Sitters" and was the plot of one of the stories in the comic book ("This is Your Lice", where Delia hires a [[hypnotist]] to make Lydia conform to doing normal, girly things). While in the film, the fact that Delia is Lydia's [[stepmother]] is made clear, in the cartoon this fact is never pressed upon
* '''Percy''' – The Deetz family's pet [[black cat]], an animal so high-strung that he makes Charles look relaxed. Considering the amount of torment that Beetlejuice puts Percy through, this is not really surprising. Although Percy is most times a victim of Beetlejuice's pranks, he sometimes manages to take revenge on him, in more than one way.
* '''Bertha''' (voiced by [[Tara Strong|Tara Charendoff]])– Lydia's friend from school. She is tall, gangly and has an [[overbite]]. Bertha loves to swoon over teen boys, read teen magazines, and eat chips. Like Lydia, she too shares a passion for anything strange and unusual. Beetlejuice refers to her as 'Burp'.
