In this heartwarming Score Guide finale for spooky season, Wend and Will revisit James Horner’s beloved score for Casper (1995).
They’ll explore how Horner weaves together hauntingly beautiful melodies, tender emotion, and spectral playfulness to bring this ghostly tale to life. From the film’s ethereal emotional beats to its bittersweet finale, the score reminds us that even in the afterlife… love and music endure.
Highlights include:
- How Horner balances innocence and melancholy through orchestration
- The magic of the main theme and its emotional transformations
- A deep dive into Casper’s Lullaby — one of Horner’s most moving cues
- The timeless blend of nostalgia and the supernatural
It’s a perfect farewell to spooky season — tender, touching, and just a little bit haunted.
