Casper Meets Wendy - China pneumatic cylinders - China Automatic Door

Plot

Wendy the Good Little Witch (Hilary Duff) wants to prove herself to her three aunts (Cathy Moriarty, Shelley Duvall, Teri Garr). Little does she know, a dark character named Desmond Spellman (George Hamilton) finds out, from the Oracle (Pauly Shore) that in the future Wendy will be the greatest witch to ever exist, and so he plots to kill the "little molerat". On the run from her nemesis, Wendy runs into the shy, friendly ghost, Casper (Jeremy Foley), who has been violently thrown around by his three uncles Stretch (Jim Ward), Stinky (Bill Farmer) and Fatso (Jess Harnell), The Ghostly Trio. Casper and Wendy then become great friends, but of course, in the tale, a ghost's worst enemy is a witch, and a witch's worst enemy is a ghost, so Wendy's aunts don't get along with Casper's uncles, and vice-versa. As a part of their plan to get them to get along, Casper gets his uncles to haunt a dance, where Wendy convinces her aunts to attend as well. The Goastly Trio possess three human men at the party and end up flirting with the three witches. Though the everything seems to go well, the plan is foiled when the Goastly Trio's real selves are revealed to Wendy's aunts, and the three witches bluffly threaten them with magic. Later, Wendy tells Casper about Desmond and that she and her aunts can't use powerful magic, begging him not to tell anyone about this. Casper accidentally tells the Ghostly Trio, prompting them to attack Wendy and her aunts. Wendy feels she has no choice but to fight the Ghostly Trio and uses a spell to cover the ghosts in plaster. This action is picked up by Desmond's magic tracker. The witches are attacked by Desmond's two warlock enforcers (Richard Moll, Vincent Schiavelli). Before Wendy and her aunts have a chance to escape, Desmond arrives. Desmond tries to cast Wendy into the Mystic Abyss to kill her, but Casper dives in to save her. Her aunts try to fight Desmond but they aren't powerful enough. Before Desmond can throw them in along with Wendy, however, a giant 3-eyed monster pops up and frightens him, causing him to fall into the Abyss instead. The monster turns out to be the Ghostly Trio, whom combined together to defeat Desmond. While the Trio holds the Abyss open, Wendy's aunts pull Casper and Wendy out of the Abyss. The Oracle proclaims that Wendy is the greatest witch because she did something no other witch ever did: she befriended a ghost (Casper). Finally, Wendy, her aunts, Casper, and the Ghostly Trio all bid each other good-bye, but Casper and Wendy reassure each other that they'll be together again, soon.

Doesn't John Mark Karr remind you of Lee Harvey Oswald?

It's erie. Karr must be Oswald reincarnated. Really spooky. It's like "deja vu".

Yes, now that you mention it.
(Do you think there is a Jack Ruby wannabe lurking around in Boulder?)

But Karr's story has a few loopholes in it - at this point, I don't believe him.
