While browsing though the witches spell-list I suddenly got the idea to make a character based on the ghost with the most. After a 3 page Google search I learned that of all the pop icons turned pathfinder character nobody has ever tried tackling the challenge or at least never in a public forum.
I suck at this kind of thing and would desperately like some help trying to hash out making him as close as possible to RAW.
I've been working around the idea of him being a Demodand-Spawn tiefling
Any suggestions for me?
Dark tapestry Oracle, maybe Medium or Mesmerist, or really any Occult class, sounds fun, I'll keep an eye on how things develop.
Good luck!

maybe look at Dhampir since he is undead? A dhampir sorcerer with the Ghoul Bloodline might fit

I'd actually had this idea for a long time. As a PC, I'd actually been thinking of a Spiritualist as "Lydia and Beetlejuice" - the problem I discovered being that none of the presently-extant Emotional Focuses quite fit the bill. Before Occult Adventures, however, I had another idea: A Cosmic Caller Summoner.
I guess there are 2 ways to approach this. One could be a spiritualist or a summoner as the cartoon pair. The other options I'm thinking are Sorcerer, Oracle, Blood Arcanist, maybe bard or Mesmerist
He needs to be able to change into snake, reduce in size, summon, and animate objects
You need lip stitch!
I'm thinking Blood (Pestilence) Unlettered Arcanist with a cockroach familiar... I seem to only have time to think, research, and post about this while at work :(

I think Jealousy fits nicely, though re-flavored to selfishness. All the abilities fit his need to be the center of attention.
while at job 2 I've decided
Demodand-Spawn tiefling because they're dirty, gross, and live to oppose the rules society. I do wish their stats were a better fit for the class though.
Unlettered Arcanist because it gets all the witches spells, I feel they better represent all the abilities presented in the film and he doesn't seem to use any hexes
refuge, 3 words to summon him
animate object, the sculptures that hold the Deetz family hostage with
voice alteration, reciting Lydia's vows during the wedding
reduce person, anything involving the model town
monstrous extremities, kinda a stretch, but the hammer hands for the strongman bell
summon monsters, summoning the priest for the wedding
lipstitch, stopping Barbara from unsummoning him during the wedding
wreath of blades, when he turns his body into spikes
the only spell missing is something to turn into a giant snake
plus there are many other spells on the witch list that are really flavorful and match his theme
Blood (Pestilence) Arcanist entirely for Insects in his pockets and giving them a purpose. Although, I can easily see him having noxious belch
dimension slide because he steps away from the alter and back again really quick
I'm not sure what to fill the Feats and Exploits with. I'm sure Silent, Quicken, and Still spell metamagic feats, but I dont normally plan out non-battle casters
other than my numerous blanks for feats and remaining exploits I really feel this is a good character match. I should probably watch the movie again soon and find out what I'm missing.
It's too bad there's no Polymorph spell for Aberrations, or else you could turn yourself into a Naga.
This should probably be under conversions.
I wish I had something more helpful to add.
I think the Beetlejuice and Lydia team idea makes no sense if you're going off the movie. You must've been a fan of the cartoon or something IHiYC.

I've never been to the conversion forums (till about 3 minutes ago), I thought it was for updating old rules only.
list of abilities. I might have to reconsider making him a witch, except I feel the hexes would make him more similar to his animated incarnation.
thank you
A male witch who was selling potions town to town(that were made from beetles). One town, the elders had him drawn and quartered by 4 horses. That's why he is always falling apart. That's why the name. What does revenge get him in that undead type?

that could work for an origin
