I just stayed behind so my dad wouldn't be lonely." *CRIES IN MOM* My dad got sad." He then revealed the unfinished business that made him become a ghost instead of moving on: "I didn't go where I was supposed to go. And my dad said, 'That's enough.' But I couldn't stop I was having so much fun. "One morning, I came down for breakfast, and there it was, just for me, for no reason at all," Casper recalls.
Finding his old sled up in the attic triggers a memory in Casper about the day he got it, which he poignantly shares with Kat. I'm referring, of course, to what is ultimately the saddest part of the story: Casper recounting how he died - a subject that had never been broached before. But while the movie isn't scary in the traditional sense, one scene left me gripped in fear the last time I watched it.
Yes, as a kid, I couldn't get enough of this film, and I'm sure that one day my son will come to love it as well - if he ever gets out of this Blippi and Daniel Tiger phase we're currently stuck in. Who wouldn't enjoy some PG-rated ghostly hijinks starring the likes of Christina Ricci and Bill Pullman as the heartwarming father-daughter duo? (And Devon Sawa as Human Casper? Oh, how I had swooned!) Now, let me start by admitting that 90% of Casper is downright hilarious and perfectly entertaining for kids and adults alike. Though it was one of my all-time favorites to see as a kid, a recent viewing proved that watching Casper feels different now that I'm a mother. (Though, if you're the type of household that opts to watch spooky flicks all year round, respect.) And while I'm typically the first to break out all the usual suspects of family-friendly Halloween content, there's one Halloween movie I'd prefer to keep out of the rotation this year. It also marks the time of year for Halloween movies to make a comeback in popularity. Now it is up to Casper and his new friends to stop their ghastly games and save Halloween before it is too late.As the Starbucks menu or any given Target aisle would indicate, the fall season is once again upon us, which means beautiful foliage, cozy sweater weather, and all the pumpkin-spiced lattes you can handle. But their fun is soon spoiled as Hairy Scarey and his ghostly crew interfere. Casper is heartbroken until he meets a special group of orphans who accept him for who he is, a ghost.
Casper refuses to join them and decides to go trick-or-treating dressed as a real boy, but neighborhood kids see through his disguise and run away in fear. On Halloween night, Hairy Scarey, Winifred Witch and Screech Ghost are plotting their mean-spirited spookings.
