Casper, the friendly ghost
The friendliest ghost you know
Though grown-ups might
Look at him with fright
The children all love him so …

Casper, the Friendly Ghost

Created by Seymour Reit and Joe Oriolo

Casper, the Friendly Ghost was created in the late 1930s by Seymour Reit who created the concept, and Joe Oriolo who crafted the illustrations. The partners had initially planned to write a storybook, but by 1939 had failed to find a publisher interested in the idea.

In the early 1940s, while Seymour Reit was away on military service, Joe Oriolo sold the book rights to Paramount Pictures’ Famous Studios animation division. The Friendly Ghost, the first Noveltoon to feature Casper, was released by Paramount in 1945.

Two additional cartoons were created by Seymour Reit and Joe Oriolo, There’s Good Boos To-Night and A Haunting We Will Go. Paramount launched Casper, the Friendly Ghost as a series in 1950. Casper went on to become one of the most beloved and lucrative characters from Famous Studios.
