Casper 🎥 1995 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Following the death of her father, neurotic and spoiled heiress Carrigan Crittenden discovers she has only been left Whipstaff Manor, located in Friendship, Maine, in the will while his vast wealth has gone to several charities. Carrigan and her lawyer and close friend, Dibs, find a map within the will’s papers that tell of an alleged treasure hidden inside the manor, only to find that the property is haunted by a friendly ghost named Casper and his poltergeist uncles, the Ghostly Trio. They then unsuccessfully attempt to force the ghosts out by way of exorcism, Ghostbusting, and a demolitions team.

A lonely Casper watches a news report about paranormal therapist James Harvey and instantly becomes smitten with his teenage daughter, Kat, prompting Casper to inspire Carrigan in summoning James to Whipstaff. Kat dislikes her father’s reputation and obsession with contacting the ghost of his late wife, Amelia. The Harveys move into Whipstaff, but Casper’s attempt to befriend them fails when his uncles try to torment and scare them away, which eventually fails. The following morning, Casper gains the Harveys’ trust when he serves them breakfast, and follows Kat to school, where she becomes popular when her class learns that she is living in Whipstaff, and agrees to host their Halloween party there.

One of her classmates, Amber, plots with her friend, Vic, to humiliate Kat during the party, while James attempts therapy sessions with the Ghostly Trio, who reveal that they know Amelia. In exchange for convincing Carrigan to leave them alone, they promise to get James a meeting with his wife. Kat learns that Casper has no memory of his life, and restores his old playroom in the attic to remind him. Casper recognizes an old wooden sled his father bought him, and remembers playing outside until he caught a severe cold and died of pneumonia.
