  • Casper (1995) was a pretty cutesy kids "scary" movie, even though it has more than a few plot holes. Tune in as I cover a Casper movie theory about the ghosts of Whipstaff Manor!

    My theory with Casper was always he felt guilty for causing his father's death in some way. Like his dad drove himself to death trying to bring back Casper. This is a very interesting take on the story as well.

      A very good theory! Casper did say that his dad had hollered for him to come in from sledding but he wouldn't listen. He was having so much fun that he ignored him. I wonder if Casper felt guilty about his dad ending up committed in the mental hospital because of his intentions to resurrect him?

    When I saw this movie as a kid I thought his unfinished business was that he didn't have friends his age. If I remember right (and I might not; it's been a while since I've seen it), he commented on being lonely a few times in the movie and that's what my little kid brain thought.

    One problem I had with the movie was the ending, after the Halloween party it just ends with Casper and Kat dancing with each other and it just ends like that. I always thought the ending should have been Casper being able to be set free and cross over. So basically you’re telling me that after the movie ends he’s just going to be living in the mansion with cat and her dad for the rest of their days?? The movie should have ended with Casper being set free and being reunited with his father in the afterlife. I have a lot of problems with this movie but I still like it, it’s one of those movies I watch every Halloween and still enjoy despite its problems.

    I had always thought that his father died before he was able to use the Lazarus Machine on Casper and Casper was unable to use the machine himself and either he didn't tell the Uncles about it or they didn't want to use it. But wouldn't that be his fathers own unfinished business.... plot convivence?

    • @melissacooper4282
      @melissacooper4282 Před 3 lety +4

      I believe that Casper's father never got the chance to use it on his son because he was declared insane and was committed in a mental institution. I also believe that the reason that he never came back as a ghost was because since Casper is already dead he probably thought that Casper would choose to cross over on account that maybe that was the reason Casper stayed behind.

    I thought Maybe capers father was griving and just imagine Casper ghost being there or cause he believes in ghost that he made the machine but time moves differently in the land of the dead so when casper came back as a ghost the machine was done and his father was gone. Also can't remember if they actually said the machine was for casper cause maybe it was made for casper mother while he was alive.

Because i thought his father was a very late Edwardian style inventor or somewhere barely hitting the 9020's. Whith streaches mannerisms and speach, i see him possibly an old ganger like guy during a Probition period. Known as streach because he was a lead look out for feds. For Fatso and Stinky. I could see them befriending streach in human life or associate with him if they were trying to be bootleggers. Perhaps the father didn't get to have Casper try the machine. And he passed away of natural causes, with a complete project and kinda accidentally passed on. And after his departure his home was scouted by Streach, Fatso, and Stinky for an area of operation. If the three did hit a similar car incident like the other two bad guys. While a dark or rainy day driving away from feds or coppers. It could explain how they crossed paths in the afterlife with casper

    "OOoops, did I doo thaaaat?" XD hahahahahahahaha! That cracked me up. Oh my gosh, I had completely forgotten about Casper. Honestly, I barely even remember the movie. Until you started talking about it, I was like "oh yeeeeaaaah." I know I say that I like your theories a lot, but I do! I think you and I may be on a similar wavelength! I find it a little sad if Stretch is Casper's dad. I remember the trio treating Casper bad throughout the movie. It would make sense if their memories were forgotten and they lost their sense of purpose along with their empathy. :'(

      It still doesn't fit with the actions in the movie then. The ghost hands was a very calm moment, and other times, like when Casper holds a breakfast tray, there was no real emotional extremes going on either. I think it's just one of those "kids won't think about it" things, lol.

    i made it to the end ^^ i love your videos! i thought what you said about uncle Stretch possibly being casper's father is very interesting. and i actually found an episode of the casper the cartoon from the 90s that may help that idea hold more water. in the epsode, "three ghosts and a baby" (you can find the full episode on youtube) casper accidently turns into a baby and the uncles have to take care of him while Kat's dad finds a way to change him back. as the episode goes on, Stretch actually becomes a pretty competent and loving caretaker to casper. Perhaps some forgotten fatherly instinct reserfacing? now, whether or not the show and the movie take place in the same universe (i think it does because kat and her father are a part of the show. but i've only seen the one episode so don't quote me on that) is another discussion, but it's still interesting to think about

    10:38 actually if u read the newspaper that Kat reads to Caspar the headline actually says (paraphrasing here) "Local inventor deemed Insane". What that would suggest to me is that the Lazarus machine was built but never used. My guess was Caspar;s dad was going to use it to revive Caspar but before he could the insane asylum people took him away and locked him up for the rest of his life.

  • @evanwebb6374
    @evanwebb6374 Před rokem +1

    I thought he had no unfinished business?
    The way its explained in the movie sounds like people who become ghosts have no choice because of their unfinished business, whereas Caspers explicitly says
    "I didn't go where I was supposed to, I just stayed behind so my dad wouldn't be lonely"
    Implying that he was supposed to move on to the afterlife (where he was "supposed to go") but chose not to rather than being forced to stay behind to complete unfinished business.
    By the time his father died, Casper probably felt guilty for causing his father to be sent to the asylum and, unable to forgive himself, was unable to crossover.
    (At least that's my theory)
    Also in regards to your theory about the Ghostly trio either not being Caspers real uncle's, or Stretch being his father there's actually a deleted scene in the movie that you can still find in one of the script drafts online, where Kat finds a picture of the trio when they were alive.
    (this is when Casper and Kat are in the attic)
    The picture is of the Ghostly trio and Casper, who they have in a headlock. Kat asks "which one is your dad" and Casper replies "Nah, those are my uncle's, can't you tell?" And there's another deleted scene where the Ghostly trio actually talk about Caspers dad and their relationship with Casper when they were alive to Dr. Harvey, proving that the Ghostly trio are Caspers biological uncle's.

    I had my first Casper-marathon last week. But only with this movie. On repeat. All day. I figured if Casper’s business was to make his father not lonely, maybe he just never succeeded. His father kept missing the living version of him, even in death and throughout eternity. The uncles being victims/test subjects is a great idea. After three killings, none of which were successfully brought back to life, the father could have abandoned the project upon realizing the horror of his actions. Then he wouldn’t have unfinished business, and would cross over upon death, possibly, as you suggested, at the hands of the ghosts of his victims. The machine was brought to a point of functionality, but never got that final test to confirm it.

    My theory as to why Casper can't crossover even after his fathers death is that he's a very special kind of ghost. Everyone is put on this earth for a reason and Casper was so sweet and friendly in life that the mortal realm could not bear to be parted from his memory when he died so young. Instead of being stuck with "unfinished business" he has a new lease on life (or should I say afterlife) of spreading friendship as a spirit.

    Ghosts can choose to be solid.
    the ghostly trio made the food go through them on purpose with there magic,
    to make mess for casper to clean and to scare kat and dr harvey.
    Really ghosts have internal organs too, Ive seen casper eat and it NEVER goes through him like never.
    I actually say ghosts live in another dimension and thats why we cant see them also if they didn't have a brain they wouldn't be able to think so yeah.
    Another thing is my mum use to do astral projection which is becoming a ghost and she told me she wasn't even transparent she also said she had legs, could brethe and wore clothes!
    So ghosts are just like humans :)

    Casper had one Passion (unfinished business) don't think it was making sure his dad wasn't sad. More likely he wanted to stay with his dad. His solid connection to the haunt (haunted house) is his fetters. Fetters are objects with heavy emotional attachment that are still in the mortal coil. And obviously Casper's treasure is his fetters. Each object is connected to happy memories of him and his father.

    ****
    She (cariggan) hires Dr Harvey when casper alludes her to the tv and she doesnt seem to be phased at all by the tv moving around.
    ***
    Next question, where did they get the money? A mansion is very expensive regardless of time eras.
    I think the uncles were the lackys, the mafia? In other theories fatso is the leader of the trio and stretch is the "dumbest". So who are they?
