The film also stars Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as newly-made apparitions, Adam and Barbara Maitland. Serving as the foil to Maitland's efforts to rid their house of unwanted residents is Jeffrey Jones as Charles Deetz, Catherine O'Hara as his wife, Delia Deetz as well as their new age occultist friend Otho, played by Glenn Shadix.
