* AlphaBitch: Amber, just Amber is fairly popular, though acts like in she's more important than the [[Film/{{Casper}} movie]].student body thinks she is, and is okay with ditching her current boyfriend if she thinks she can get a better date to the school dance. Upon meeting Max, she immediately tries to destroy his fledgling friendship with Kat Harvey by telling him about the creepy rumors surrounding Kat and her house. Max brushes her off, as he can detect her obnoxious personality from miles away and already has a girlfriend back in Salem.
-->"Max stared at the girl, her shoulder-length blond hair and half-concealed controlling personality making her very distinctive. (...) She gave off the aura of popularity and confidence, but the way at least a couple of witnesses to her approach rolled their eyes suggested she was not nearly as important as she made herself out to be. (...) She probably had plenty of money at home and got whatever she wanted from her parents, even if she wasn't insane billionaire-level rich."



* TheNineties: Set in 1994, when the internet was just starting to be used by the average person a little; Kat thus pays particular notice to the fact that Casper goes to a library to use a chat room as it's the first opportunity he's had for literally decades to talk to someone in a manner where they won't freak out because he's a ghost (although he's only shown talking to Wendy, who already knows what he is).

* AdultFear: From the child's perspective; Kat acknowledges that it isn't fair that the general public believe Casper's father was just some nut, but she's reluctant to try and disprove that belief because the Lazarus was the only proof that he was telling the truth and it no longer works, and the only evidence anyone might find to the contrary would involve potentially dissecting her father.

[[Film/HocusPocus Max and Dani]] barely have time to get used to living in Salem before they end up moving yet again a year later. This time, their parents drag them to a town in Maine called [[Film/{{Casper}} "Friendship."]] While not exactly happy about moving again (and being forced to leave behind his girlfriend), Max tries to make the most of it.

But even in this new small town community, he and his sister can't escape the supernatural completely. On his first day in a new school, Max encounters the girl who lives in the supposed HauntedHouse. Kat is still considered the outsider in town even a few years later, partially because of where she lives and partially because strange things seem to happen around her. But she seems nice and certainly better than [[AlphaBitch Amber]], so he decides to hang out with her a little.

Things get stranger with the news of a local murder, the [[BackFromTheDead return]] of a former feline, and the theft of the [[SpellBook Book]]. And then Max and Dani find out the supposed HauntedHouse is ''actually'' haunted. Now all of them must work together to deal with the possible return of a trio of witches. And maybe another threat...
