Premise[edit | edit source]

In 2024, Lydia Deetz hosts the supernatural TV talk show, Ghost House. She has been estranged from her daughter, Astrid, since Lydia's former husband and Astrid's father, Richard, died while in the Amazons. While taping an episode, Lydia hallucinates seeing Betelgeuse, the ghost who tried to marry her thirty-six years earlier, in the audience.

Shortly after, Lydia's stepmother, Delia, informs Lydia that her father, Charles, has died in a gruesome accident. They and Astrid travel to Winter River, Connecticut, for Charles' funeral. At the wake, Rory, Lydia's boyfriend and producer, pressures her to marry him on Halloween; she hesitantly agrees. Meanwhile, Astrid meets a local boy named Jeremy Frazier, who invites her to spend Halloween with him.

In the Afterlife, Betelgeuse oversees an office of "bio-exorcists", assisted by Bob, an anxious shrunken-head ghost. Betelgeuse is still obsessed with Lydia. Former actor-turned-ghost detective Wolf Jackson warns Betelgeuse that his former wife, Delores, has escaped captivity and gone on a murderous spree, draining the souls of the dead searching for him. The couple met during the Black Plague in Italy, but Delores was a cult member who poisoned Betelgeuse as part of an immortality ritual; he murdered her before succumbing to the poison.

Astrid discovers she has inherited her mother's psychic abilities and realizes Jeremy is a ghost; he asks her to accompany him to the Afterlife to help regain his life. In exchange, she can meet her father's spirit. Meanwhile, Lydia learns from a realtor that Jeremy murdered his parents twenty-three years earlier, and died when the police tried to arrest him. Lydia reluctantly summons Betelgeuse and signs a marriage contract in exchange for him taking her to the Afterlife to save Astrid. Betelgeuse blows open a hole between the worlds of the Living and the Dead; he disguises Bob as himself as a decoy. Wolf discovers Betelgeuse has brought a living person into the Afterlife and launches a manhunt for him, capturing the disguised Bob. Delores meets Bob at the police station while continuing her search for Betelgeuse and drains Bob's soul.

As Betelgeuse and Lydia search for Astrid, Jeremy escorts her through the Afterlife's bureaucracy. He admits tricking Astrid into exchanging her life for his. Astrid is taken to the "Soul Train" to be sent to the Great Beyond, but her father, Richard, spots and follows her. Lydia pulls Astrid off the Soul Train, and they escape through a portal to Saturn's moon Titan, where Richard saves them from a sandworm. While Betelgeuse sends Jeremy to Hell, Richard shows Lydia and Astrid how to return to the Living world. Meanwhile, during a mourning ceremony for Charles, Delia is bitten by two venomous asps that she was assured were defanged. She arrives in the Afterlife and summons Betelgeuse to help find Charles; he agrees if Delia will help him find Lydia.

Lydia and Astrid arrive at the church for Lydia and Rory's wedding. Betelgeuse appears with Delia and interrupts the ceremony. Betelgeuse uses a "truth serum" that forces Rory to admit he is only using Lydia for her money. Betelgeuse prepares to marry her when Delores arrives seeking revenge. Wolf also arrives but Betelgeuse freezes him and his comrades to avoid arrest and continue the wedding. Astrid opens a portal to summon a sandworm from Saturn's moon, Titan, and Betelgeuse leads it to devour Delores and Rory. Astrid reveals that because Betelgeuse illegally brought Lydia into the Afterlife, their marriage contract is voided. Lydia recites Betelgeuse's name three times and banishes him back to the Afterlife. Delia returns to the Afterlife with Wolf. She is reunited with Charles' spirit as he is about to board the Soul Train to the Great Beyond.

As everything returns to normal, Lydia ends her Ghost House show to spend more time with Astrid. However, Lydia has recurring nightmares about Betelgeuse, knowing that he will never give up his obsession for her.
