From our gay awakening in ‘Casper’ to his jacked daddy era, Devon Sawa is a timeless crush
Netflix right now is the 1995 family film Casper. Though the goofy ghost romp is nearly 30 years old, its lingering popularity should come as no surprise.For one, ’tis the season.
With Halloween fast approaching, those in the mood for some seasonally appropriate comfort food can’t resist this feel-good favorite.
It’s like candy corn! (Unless, of course, you’re one of those people who don’t like candy corn…)Secondly, nostalgia is queen, and this totally ’90s movie—with its campy character actors, ornate sets, and questionable CGI—still has the ability to transport you right back to your childhood.Based off the classic cartoon character, Casper is the story of widower Dr.
James Harvey (Bill Pullman), a “paranormal therapist” who moves with his teen daughter Kat (Christina Ricci) to the haunted Whipstaff Manor in the hope that he can excise its meddling ghosts at the request of its spoiled owner Carrigan Crittenden (Cathy Moriarty).
