The spine-tingling anecdote was relayed to SYFY WIRE last September by director Brad Silberling, who got his big break on the Spielberg-produced Casper film (now streaming on Peacock) from 1995.

The 1995 live-action "Casper" movie starring Bill Pullman and Christina Ricci will screen in theaters for its 30th anniversary and play through Halloween.

Devon Sawa was just a teenager when he starred in the 1995 kids' fantasy flick "Casper." So, it's extra cute that his 6-year-old son, Hudson, can't get enough of the movie.
