Some good talent is badly wasted., 16 June 2002
Author: Arthur Bernstein (ABernst100@aol.com) from Florida, USA

"Casper" scares most of the cast away while trying to save a house from being demolished. Look fast for "Starship Trooper" star Casper Van Dien as an applauding bystander. Take note: Van Dien also appears in the other video "Casper Meets Wendy" when he passes Wendy's aunts at a party.
