That is all.

I'll tell you! In a forgotten age, shrouded by death and the plague, the tendrils of our depraved love story unfurled. I was a humble grave robber, plying my trade amidst the corpses of the forsaken. My heart had long withered into the abyss, but destiny, like a phantom, cast its long shadow one cold, starless night... Her name, Delores. From the moment I gazed into her cursed eyes, I was bewitched. The ceremony was traditional, we drank each other's blood, bit the heads off a couple of chickens, and sacrificed a goat. Our wedding night was a symphony of carnal pleasures. A macabre opera of lust and untamed desire. But my new bride harbored a sinister secret: She was the leader of a soul sucking death cult. Like a spider closing in on its prey, she was ready to strike. Her quest for immortality demanded two things: My life… and my soul! Hey... I'm into some freaky shit myself. But even I have my limitations, so... We parted ways.

Where is Betelgeuse?
~ Delores' repeating words when interrogating an afterlife inhabitant for her husband's whereabouts.

Delores Laferve is the secondary antagonist of the 2024 horror comedy film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the second film in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice franchise.

She is the former wife and archenemy of the titular character who lives with him in the afterlife - having been in life a woman who had 'unfinished business' with Betelgeuse. Far from the ideal wife, Delores is for starters the reason for which Betelgeuse tried to marry Lydia Deetz in the original film, only to resurface years later when Lydia's daughter Astrid summons Beetlejuice back to the realm of the living; thus making Delores go after him at all costs.

She was portrayed by Monica Bellucci, who also played Kaileena in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, one of Dracula's brides in Bram Stoker's Dracula, and the Mirror Queen in The Brothers Grimm.

History[]

Past[]

Back during the Black Plague, Delores was the leader of an evil cult that sucked the souls of unsuspecting sinners and her latest victim was a tomb robber named Betelgeuse, who immediately fell in love with her beauty. After carrying out a strange ritual of eating the heads of two recently dead chickens, Delores and Betelgeuse got married and began their wedding night.

At the end of the night, Delores kills Betelgeuse with poison disguised as a bottle of wine. However, in his last breath, Betelgeuse kills Delores by cutting her into pieces. Upon arriving in the Netherworld, Delores' body parts were placed in separate boxes and stored in a lost and found depository.

Personality[]

She's back. She's pissed.
~ Betelgeuse notes after finding out Delores has been killing ghosts.

Delores is shown to be phsycopathic, cold, ruthless and vengeful. She dosent cary about the lives of others as long as it means she gets immortality, as shown as she poisoned her husband and even smiling about it. Its heavily implied she’s a satanic witch due to her tendencies. Although she never loved him, Delores is shown to be quite hypocritical and possessive as she wanted Betelgeuse all for herself.

Powers and Abilities[]

Delores is quite powerful. She apparently has the ability to functionally kill even already dead ghosts. On top of that, while she is not shown displaying the fluidity of power Betelgeuse does, he apparently can't use his powers to outmaneuver of affect her like he can with everyone else. Despite this, she can be killed by Sandworms.

Trivia[]

  • Delores' debut in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice finally explains to who belonged the finger with a ring seen in the original Beetlejuice film, as prior to her appearance, it was believed by fans that the finger belonged to some random victim of Betelgeuse.
  • Monica Bellucci, the actress who plays Delores, is director Tim Burton's girlfriend in real-life.
  • Betelgeuse spoke her origin story in Italian, this may be a reference to her being portrayed by an Italian actress.
  • Her last name is confirmed when Betelgeuse is reading an article in his call center.
