SO HOW DID CASPER DIE?

The classic 1950s Harvey cartoons always seemed to gloss over the subject. However Casper's cause of death was finally offered up in the 1995 big screen adaption starring Christina Ricci. Apparently the friendly ghost was originally a stubborn kid. Casper was sledding on a cold winter's day. His dad told him to come inside. Casper refused, and eventually contracted a fatal case of pneumonia. The end.

    yeah...this is where my crush on Christina Ricci started, then she got a little whorey (which was hit or miss for me). Now on that Pan Am show she's kinda hot again. oh yeah and Casper got what he deserved...punk ass ghost!

    The kid should have listened! Sounds a lot like my kids!

    I'm not sure if that is the official reason though.

    Pneumonia. Pneumonia will turn me into a friendly ghost. I'll remember this.

    It'd be interesting if some of that followed him into the afterlife....like giving me a sniffle or a cough...

    Right, if I die of Pneumonia myself I'll try to stay friendly as well.

    Seems rather anti-climatic, doesn't it?

    My daughter loved that movie and now one of my granddaughters does, as well. Although I don't recall that being the cause of death? Might you have taken some liberties?

    yeah, that part was always sad/depressing. Then he turns into a real kid for 5 seconds at that big party and everyone's like awwwwwwww.

    Well, that's kind of a downer! I never really thought about how Casper died. It's hard for me to think of him as once being human...

    Well, on a lighter note, I'm having a virtual Halloween party in my blog on October 27th. This basically means that I'm assembling some photos of my blog friends in costume that day. I think it could be pretty cool! So, you are invited to the party. :) If you have a photo of yourself in costume, from any point in your life, please email it to me. Then I can include you in that blog post. My email: contactartgirl@gmail.com

    I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your website. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it
    much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often.
    Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Excellent work!
