This is pretty cool! And it got me interested in reading that fanfic! Though I had a little trouble finding it, but the reason for that is because, as it turns out, the author's username is actually "QuiteALotOfSodaPop". So, just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone else who might also be interested. ^^;

Again though, great work on this pic! It's cool seeing how the Ghostly Trio might've looked in life! :)

Re-watched 1995 Casper recently! it was one of my favourite films as a kid! I forgot how great the characters in the film were, particularly the ghostly trio! 

These are just a few sketches from a fanfiction I read as consequence by a talented author named JustAlotOfSodaPop on archive of our own. They brilliantly portray a very plausible history to the situation of the ghosts in the film, really expanding of their past and their relationship to Casper. Its a delightful read and i highly recommend it to any others that enjoy the Casper franchise. Its a real shame they haven’t done anything more with the franchise (1995 version) as it has so much potential!

Casper as a dark mystery TV show. 

After her mother's passing, Kat Harvey (Rachel Hilson) moves with her father, parapsychologist Dr. James Harvey (Idris Elba), to a quiet town in southern Maine. James' fascination with the supernatural - and the frustrated and desperate attempt to contact with his late wife, Amelia (Kerry Washington) - takes father and daughter to their new home: the Whipstaff Manor. The site was built nearly two centuries ago by the Whipstaff family and passed from generation to generation until it reached scientist Dr. John Thomas McFadden (Jude Law). For many years, the McFadden family found a home in that huge mansion, but after a terrible snowstorm, the scientist's son, the young prodigy Casper (Thimothée Chalamet), disappeared never to be found again. The boy was presumed dead. Citizens are surprised and furious when Dr. McFadden is accused of killing his own son. Although there was no evidence of the crime, the city never believed in John Thomas McFadden's innocence.

In the present day, Kat is impressed by the richness of her home: the very old and dusty furniture of gold-plated wood, crystal chandeliers and oil paintings that must be worth a fortune. One of the paintings shows a handsome young man who, at the time he was portrayed, must have been about the same age as Kat. The real estate agent then tells them the sad story of the McFadden family and shows Kat and her father where the young Casper would be buried at the Whipstaff Graveyard.

Life in the mansion becomes hell when doors start to lock themselves, objects change places, lights start to flash and a chilling laughter echoes through the long corridors.

Murder, magic, curses, love, revange and friendship come together in this electrifying retelling of classic Harvey Comics story.
