This is pretty much the bog-standard, dull-type Casper fare I’ve come to expect from the little ghoul in all honestly. Basically not much happens, the fact that it is Halloween is fairly irrelevant to the plot, which is the same as many other Casper cartoons.

To be fair the holiday angle allows Casper to mingle with mortals for a fair potion of the film, albeit under false pretences. This thankfully also allows some relieving of the stereotypical self-pitying routines that make up Casper’s act.

As per usual the one thing that is decent here is the animation and the technical aspects of the film (though not up the big threes standards), it just the plot that needs work(actually what the plot needed was shooting, as it was certainly lame). Again Famous Studios prove that their story-telling was never worth much, as long as the characters turned a profit, and with the marketing and comics they appeared in, they did.

Much of the cartoon is spent in a barn, where various party games are being played, stick the tail on the donkey, bobbing for apples, that sort of thing (the type of games I would wholeheartedly avoid). It not got a lot in it to recommend bothering one’s time with, like so many of the other Casper (and Famous) cartoons.
