Watch: Proof-of-Concept Trailer for Actually Scary 'Casper' Horror Film

"You just want a friend..." 👻 What if someone made Casper the Friendly Ghost into an actually scary horror film? That's what Canadian filmmaker Jared Pelletier is pitching as a proof-of-concept trailer to send to studios. He describes this project as "a reimagining of Casper as an elevated horror film." The 60-second trailer is out to watch online, and if you're curious, you just have to take a look. It is made entirely from existing footage, and there isn't really a shot of the ghost boy in it. Casper was originally created by the Famous Studios for a theatrical animated cartoon series of the same name, playing from the 1940s to 1950s in theaters. However, most know Casper from that 1995 movie with Christina Ricci.

There have been a few sequels and other projects, but nothing as chilling as this... Enjoy. // Continue Reading ›
