It’s Halloween once again which means millions flock to streaming services to watch the biggest and best horror movies both new and old. One of the big kid’s movies most people look to is the 1995 movie, Casper. Let’s take a look at whether Casper is streaming on Netflix in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. 

Despite releasing in May, Casper has become a Halloween staple and continues to be 23 years after its cinema release. Most will be aware of the comic strip starring Casper the friendly ghost which is exactly what this movie adapted to the big screen. It was a massive success with it grossing almost $300 million at the box office.

Where is Casper streaming in the United States?

Casper is not streaming on Netflix in the United States. Instead, the movie is exclusive to Starz for 2018. Starz is available as a separate subscription on its own site or you can get the Starz addon on Amazon.

If you’re a customer of the Netflix DVD platform, you’ll find the movie available on DVD but be warned, the movies popularity spikes at Halloween meaning availability may be in question.
