If you still don't believe Beetlejuice was considered a coming of age / girlhood to womanhood / sexual awakening story, here are some other movies from the 80s where an underage girl was paired with a much older man.
All have similar themes of an innocent girl being tempted by the older man, which forces them to step away from familiarity and venture into the unknown.

Sarah Patterson (12 years old) / Micha Bergese (39 years old)

Look, I accepted things about myself at a very young age.
Being attracted to Tim Curry's The Darkness was always in the cards for 8 year old little Piper when Legend came out. Everyone was all over Tom Cruise, but I was like no!! I want the DARRKKKKNESSSSSSS
And from there, it went to David Bowie as the Goblin King. I blame the 80s fantasy films for making villains so sexy

I wonder why it is that Japan seemed to like all the cool and interesting fantastical films we rejected at the box office, at least back in the 70s/80s.
Like, Baron Munchausen, Phantom of the Paradise, Return To Oz, Streets of Fire, the list of "cool fantastical films that bombed in the US but did well in Japan" probably goes on.
Why did Japan have that kind of good taste back then and, more importantly, why did ours suck ass so bad?

The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (Czech: Baron Prášil) is a 1962 Czechoslovak romantic adventure film directed by Karel Zeman, based on the tales about Baron Munchausen. The film combines live-action with various forms of animation and is highly stylized, often evoking the engravings of Gustave Doré.[2]
A digital restoration of the film premiered on 5 September 2016 at the Telluride Film Festival in the United States.[3]
