Everyone remembers their first scary movie. For most people, it wasn’t even something meant to be a scary movie — maybe it was the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, or the Skeksis in The Dark Crystal, or the Other Mother in Coraline. But for a big sector of ‘90s kids, their first taste of horror came from Casper, the 1995 movie following Casper the Friendly Ghost in brilliant ‘90s CGI as he copes with his demise, his three mean uncles, and his crush on human girl Kat (Christina Ricci).
It was meant to be a family movie, but it was certainly darker than Casper’s previous cartoon appearances. Now, Casper is coming back, but in an even darker — and even longer — form.
