Description:
A young, childless couple live in a beautiful house in New England. One day while driving home they are involved in a terrible auto accident. They manage to walk home only to discover later that they have died and now haunt their own house.

When their house is purchased by an out of state family, they feel their home is threatened by the over-the-top artistic wife and the real-estate idea-man husband. Their only relief comes from the Gothic daughter of the family.

Their attempts at scaring the family out of the house are ignored or laughed at. Finally they fall to the temptation to use the bio-exorcizer Betelgeuse. When they find his tactics too dangerous, they attempt to contain him and save the family they had been trying to get rid of.

Qvamp says:

A secondary character, Otho, is obviously gay, through use of the standard stereotypes. Though his orientation is never actually stated, it is alluded to during the film.
