In Caspers Haunted Christmas, a direct-to-video animated film, the haunted world of spooks meets the happy spirit of Christmas, a faulty premise to begin with. The plot gets even more absurd when Kibosh, supreme ruler of all ghosts, declares that Caspers scare quota is way down. To avoid serious repercussions, Casper must scare at least one person before Christmas Day, or he will be banished to the dark side. Talk about a merry holiday tale! To force the fear factor, Kibosh catapults Casper & the Ghostly Trio to Chrismassachusetts, where they must find an unsuspecting victim to scare. Kindhearted Casper doesnt have the nerve to scare anyone, so the Ghostly Trio secretly hires Caspers loo k-alike cousin, Spooky, to do the job. Theres no doubt the wide-eyed little ghost is endearing, but his heyday may have ended with his series in Harvey Comics. There are some redeeming moments of humour, such as when Spooky mistakenly calls himself Casper, the Frenzied Ghost, & country singer Randy Travis does his best to add his musical charms to the score, but overall, Scrooge would be more welcome under the mistletoe than these bunch of ghouls. Teens may discover a few laughs , but mildly scary scenes, thematic elements & irreverent language suggest parental guidance for the younger set.
