Trivia:
Casper's last name is McFadden. This is made clear in the newspaper headline on the floor when Christina Ricci's character reads about Casper's father in the old clippings.

Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Every time a person dies and becomes a ghost, they forget who they used to be and what their purpose was. This is explained when Casper tells Kat that after death, life doesn't matter so much anymore, so things tend to be forgotten. This is further proved when Dr. Harvey dies and can't remember his own daughter, Kat. Yet, after Carrigan dies, she still remembers her partner and her duty (to get inside the vault). However, the ghosts in the movie also quickly regain their memory, and maybe this happened to Carrigan once she saw Dibs immediately after she became a ghost.

Ever since i was six years of age, I've enjoyed this movie. It makes me laugh, cry, and excited! i am disappointed that so many people don't like this movie. it is an all-time favorite of mine. It is sad yes, but it has comic relief from the three uncles that try to be humanlike, Casper, the friendly ghost that knows what it is like to be lonely, for instance me, and same with Kat. I am very touched with this film, for it makes me think about me, lonely and depressed, but it has a positive ending which I really adored! i also liked the amazing effects, that were famous at its, time. Of course now, effects from movies are like The Matrix films and LOTR, but i mainly like this film, because it tocuhes my heart in a both sad and sometimes happy, knowing, someone else is out there for you, even if you are a bit...dead. 10/10
