The official trailer to the 1988 classic "Beetlejuice" is here at last, giving fans an in-depth look at the highly anticipated sequel.

The trailer, released Thursday, begins with Winona Ryder's Lydia consoling her daughter, Jenna Ortega's Astrid, following the death of the former's father and the latter's grandfather.

"Death is hard," Lydia says, to which Astrid replies, "Yeah, sometimes I think life is harder."

Lydia later recounts the events of the first film to Astrid, telling her: "When I was a teenager, a trickster demon terrorized our entire family and tried to force me to marry him. I believed he was gone forever, until you found this in the attic."
