Casper- it's Halloween DUH!

Note: I saw this movie 7-10 times in the theater in 1995 because Devon Sawa is in it for a minute. However, not one second felt at all familiar.




Eric Idle and the-blonde-bitch-from-the-parent-trap-who-hit-sticks-together-in-the-sixties are bumbling morons.

The ghost pays his cable bill and also does magic?

Christina Ricci, who is kind of a 90s faux Winona Ryder has to move with her dad because the ghost can play DVR.

They got to a big old house and she snoops around and gets spooked and Casper rings himself out onto her face. Also, she's aces when it comes to electricity.

The three men-ghosts have descriptive names, even though the kid-ghost is named Casper McFadden.

The men-ghosts take CR's dad to some karaoke night and get him waaaaasted. They then murder him. Also, they had bad breath and we're kind of bullies earlier, mocking his line of work even though they don't even have jobs or knowledge of basic hygiene.

Sir Robin gets snitty about sunglasses when the bitch dies and she turns into a sexy ghost with a smoker's voice. All the drama take place in a lab (accessed only by a Rube Goldberg Machine/ride that gets you ready for the day). Ghost dad comes roaring in, all lit up and jerk-like. Then when they link-pinkies he realizes he's gone and messed up by letting slob-men-ghosts kill him at some corny karaoke dive.

This whole time Wednesday is wearing a very sentimental dress over her clothes. Also, she is in high school and is probably 15? Casper is ten and has the voice of a cartoon baby voiced by a nice mom.

When he comes to life ***SPOILER ALERT- SORRY GUYS*** he is like...way mature for an 11 year old. He dances and they float and the other girls give him the once-over and her the side-eye but not because they are floating. No one cares that she is floating with a mysterious kid. Then they kiss and he disappears and leaves her hanging like a boob and the dad is on the balcony talking to the dead-mom who is shaped like a window and looks like a devil and also a knock-off Geena Davis. 



Then the kids get scared because Ricci's smoochin' air so they jet.

The three slobs are back, in leopard smoking jackets and maybe slick hair? And they play lots of sounds for a three piece outfit and Christina Ricci is still wearing that dead-lady's sentimental dress over her clothes and she dances in a circle with her undead dad and child-ghost-Devon-Sawa.

Then c-g-D-S chem-trails "THE END" and gobbles us up.
