Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Casper is now trending on Netflix as Halloween approaches. The 1995 horror-comedy movie is based on the character Casper the Friendly Ghost, who debuted in a series of theatrical cartoons in 1945 and is now the lead of a massive multimedia franchise. The movie follows ghost therapist Dr. James Harvey and his daughter Kat , who move into a haunted house where Kat befriends the young ghost Casper .
On Netflix's daily Top 10 for Friday, October 6, 1995's Casper has taken the No. 6 spot. It is by a wide margin the oldest movie on the current Top 10, as the second-oldest is 2010's Megamind. The rest of the list is made up of more contemporary titles including the new Netflix originals Reptile and Nowhere.
Why Casper is the Perfect Movie For Halloween 2023 There are most likely quite a few reasons why so many people are being drawn to Casper this year. The first is that the movie has been newly added to Netflix, joining their vast library of titles on October 1. However, the family-friendly nature that made it a hit in 1995 likely also appeals to families who want an alternative to the more intense current theatrical horror offerings such as Saw X and The Exorcist: Believer.
However, the Casper cast is also perfectly attuned to contemporary audiences who want to explore previous projects from their favorite genre stars. For instance, Devon Sawa, whose brief cameo when Casper gains the ability to return to his human form is a pivotal moment in Casper's romantic storyline, is currently starring in the horror franchise TV show Chucky. In that show, he has played multiple different characters who have faced off against the titular killer doll.
