Synopsis[]
It's love at first fright when Casper meets Wendy in this all new, live action adventure featuring an all star cast, amazing special effects and spook-tacular fun for the whole family.
When evil warlock Desmond Spellman (George Hamilton) vows to destroy Wendy the Good little Witch (Hilary Duff) she and her witless witch aunts hide out at Sunny Brite resort, where the vacationing Ghostly Trio has been busy scaring up mega-mischief--and making Casper's afterlife miserable!
Even though Casper & Wendy are told that Ghosts & witches just don't get along, when these two kindred spirits meet, it is the beginning of a boo-tiful friendship. But Desmond is closing in...and time is running out. Now, Casper & Wendy must prevent a supernatural showdown between their feuding families in order to defeat Desmond's dastardly plan!
