Before Casper could rest in peace, Hollywood decided he needed a direct-to-video prequel.
Released in 1997, Casper: A Spirited Beginning attempted to follow the success of the 1995 Casper movie with a cheaper, stranger, and significantly more ’90s adventure featuring Steve Guttenberg, Lori Loughlin, Rodney Dangerfield, Michael McKean, Sherman Hemsley, Pauly Shore, and somehow James Earl Jones. And yes, the CGI ghosts are every bit as terrifying as that cast list sounds.
In this episode of Awfully Good Movies, we revisit Casper’s bizarre origin story, the confusing continuity, nonstop ghost puns, shameless Saban product placement, horrifying computer animation, a demolition plot involving a child trapped inside an exploding mansion, and one of the strangest collections of celebrity cameos ever assembled for a kids movie.
So grab your proton pack, pour yourself something spirited, and join us for a cinematic séance as we ask the question nobody was brave enough to answer:
WTF happened to Casper: A Spirited Beginning?
Show Synopsis: Welcome to our new series Awfully Good, where we take a journey through the world of "so-bad-it's-good" cinema. We'll provide you with some fun trivia, details on the production, as well as some food/drinks to go with it. So join us for some schlock as we go through the who's who of terrible cinema.
