This is something that no one really was looking for, and MAY be a potential lost but found media piece (Discussed later) but with how somewhat infamous that the direct to video Casper movies have gotten over the years (Popular YT personality Caddicarus did a video on Casper: A Spirited Beginning in 2015), not many may know that A Spirited Beginning and Casper Meets Wendy actually had book versions of the movies WITH an audio book of them to boot.
They were part of something known as the Casper Super Sound Package from Inchworm Press which contained two children's picture books based on the movies with a cassette tape containing narrated versions of the stories, and a cheap walkman with headphones.
Image of the package here take from an eBay listing:
Now, the lost but found part, I actually had that set when I was a kid and going through my old cassette tapes I found this:
The only part of the package I could find since I imagine the books were thrown out many ages ago. Anyways, I emphasize that this is not really something anyone was seeking but with the infamy of Casper: A Spirited Beginning and Casper Meets Wendy, alongside a popular YouTube personality covering one of the flicks... I feel this has its place to be shared for an alternate take on the movies. If anything, a semi-serious narration of the movies is a goldmine.
I will be digitizing this tape in the near future to share with everyone, maybe with an article to go with it. Just need to get my stereo receiver plugged into my PC so I can record the tape with noise reduction applied from my deck and the bass and treble adjusted accordingly for the recording.
