This week on the Capes and Tights Podcast, Justin Soderberg welcomes back Paul Eaton of Galactic Comics and Collectibles to discuss the 1995 film, Casper.

Casper is a kind young ghost who peacefully haunts a mansion in Maine. When specialist James Harvey arrives to communicate with Casper and his fellow spirits, he brings along his teenage daughter, Kat. Casper quickly falls in love with Kat, but their budding relationship is complicated not only by his transparent state, but also by his troublemaking apparition uncles and their mischievous antics.

Released on May 26, 1995 and recently celebrated its 30th anniversary (now 31st) its a fun movie for the spooky season. The film was written by Sherri Stoner & Deanna Oliver, directed by Brad Silberling, and stars Christina Ricci, Bill Pullman, Cathy Moriarty, Eric Idle, and Malachi Pearson.

The movie is based on the character, first created in 1945, for the short film The Friendly Ghost directed by Isadore Sparber. He has also appeared in many other films, comics, books, and more over the years. He is even the mascot of Harvey Comics. Pearson, who voices the title character in the feature film, has voice the friendly ghost more than any other actor (4 times).

Available to stream on Amazon.
