Casper Soundtrack PT.1 - James Horner - "Casper's Lullaby"

Happy Halloween! Here's the latest home recording I've done! I actually recorded two tracks from this soundtrack so I'll share the other one soon. A ton of work went into this. Always loved James Horner's work. To me this is one of the most overlooked music soundtracks! 🎧🎵 Interesting backstory about Casper's character that many people don't know -
Casper's mother (Mary Anne Mcfadden) passed away giving birth to him, he grows up to 12 years old with his father and asks for a sled in December in 1895. His father buys the sled and Casper plays with it until night time, and he gets VERY sick, he then passes away from pneumonia before Christmas, and doesn't move on because he doesn't want to leave his dad. His father (J.T Mcfadden) then becomes obsessed as an inventor trying to create resurrection to bring his son back to life and comes up with the Lazerous. He lives in a manor at the head of the friendship town and people can hear and see things at night at his house that are weird; flashing lights, hoots and hollers, whirring and buzzing. He is arrested one night when he is so close to testing his invention to bring Casper back. He is then committed to an insane asylum where he is forced to live the rest of his days getting treated for an illness he doesnt have and being told Casper is not a ghost and that he is crazy over the death over his son. Casper then begins to lose his memories and only wants a friend and he rest is in the 1995 release of Casper!
