Slapstick spookiness, Spielberg’s dualistic vision, and the earliest iterations of the friendliest ghost… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Leading into another glorious Halloween, these ‘90s kids introduce Casper – a Pretty Dark icon – to the podcast and provide a timeline of his 80+ years of friendly haunting, then go behind the scenes to uncover the production story surrounding one of the biggest, and most distinctly edgy, CGI triumphs of the ‘90s.
