hello, if you wouldn’t mind, what would be the timeline of events or timeline of things in casper’s spectral spectacle?

Such a great question!! So great in fact it kept me up! Hoping I got my own timeline right. Or at least accurately calculated (Though some things I did change as well as add)

Admittedly there’s still so much more that needs to be presented. Even before Elizabeth’s marriage, but that can be put off for another time.

[mpsansy]

Hello, me again, if you wouldn’t mind, I have some questions for casper’s spectral spectacle (if you wouldn’t mind of course)

1: Did the McFadden brothers ever travel anywhere when they were children, like across the U.S or other countries, or did they stay in Friendship?

2: What was the MacFadden house doing during the time-span from 1926 - to - 1936?

3: How well known is the McFadden name and lineage to Monster-Kind?

4: How far does the MacFadden lineage go back in history?

5: Are there any famous events during the mid - to - late 1800s to the early 1900s that the MacFadden family got to see in person? (Would be neat to see their reactions to the first cars)

6: Are there any other beings that can match up to Kibosh’s power (Like the Boogyman or the Devil?) or is like death, where nobody really messes with him unless he messed up on something?

7: If you where able to guess, how many people have the Ghostly Trio killed since taking residence in the MacFadden home?

8: What makes the town of Friendship different from other towns with monster in them?

9: What is the history of Friendship? Was it a founded during the colonization of America or was it founded later down the line in the early to mid 1800s?

10: Have any famous or noteworthy people visited Friendship?

11: Since you said before that the Monster-Kind world is a reflection of our world, how would the Wild West or The Great Depression look like to their world?

12: You said before that even if the land around the MacFadden house crumbles away, the house would still remain. So here is a hypothetical scenario: if for somehow or some reason the entire town of Friendship were to be sunk into the earth by a sinkhole, would that 1: mean that the house would still be standing and 2: if it is, would that make people suspicious of the house since it would be the only house that wouldn’t have been damaged or destroyed by the sinkhole?

13: Has anyone ever recorded the Ghosty Trio? (like found footage)

14: How many people live in Friendship?

15: Has the MacFadden family lineage made enemies in the past (Monster-Kind or Human-Kind) that are still out for their blood?

Thank You for you time.

(Bonus): Is there something hiding inside the MacFadden home that NOBODY there knows about?

(Bonus Bonus): Has the Ghosty Trio or anybody related or friends with them seen something that they can’t explain (like seeing a “person” or “monster” that felt very *off* about them)?

1. That’s without question, of course they’ve traveled. More likely to parts of the world than all of the US. That’s the few things they loved so much. It was to see different places and NOT have responsibilities. Just pure fun and freedom to roam. When they got older, they traveled for business and the enjoyment is not as good. As their responsibilities came first. More for Simon (Stretch) than say Silvester (Stinkie), Franklin (Fatso), and J.T.

2. In all that time, the manor was sitting still. Waiting for more of the residents, other than Casper, to come home. To outsiders it looked as if the home was rotting away, but it was an illusion few could see through.

3. Not well known as you’d think from the beginning, but the very VERY few older monsters that have lived long enough know to be weary. Primarily after the events of 1926. To them, the name almost feels like it’s laced with an unshakable curse.

4. The 14th century. That’s as far as you can get on paper, but there is a single point in time where two souls coming from the same womb pleaded for a wish. That’s all I’ll say about that :)

5. That’s a damn good question. Unfortunately the two things that come to mind are automobiles… and the Titanic. That last one is what took the last remaining McFaddens as all the others were gone. Other than J.T. I’m sure there are other things, but these are the more striking examples I can grasp right now.

6. Kibosh is absolute. No other being can do anything to him cause he’s the one who can put an end to all things. It’d be best to not think too deep into it, otherwise you’ll lose your head as so many others have already.

7. In the McFadden home? 26 lives have been lost by the hands of The Ghostly Trio. More monster deaths than humans if we want to be honest.

8. Friendship in Spectral Spectacle is very quiet and keeps to themselves. Hardly anyone has reported any problems other than the occasional unwarranted power outages. Though it’s no problem for its residents. The only ones to complain about it are tourists and people out of town who stumble across this place.

9. I’d say the early 1800s it was taken over, leaving some families displaced & broken. A repeated cycle that still has some deep cuts to this very day.

10. Most likely, but none are coming to mind for me :(

11. The monsters were probably well off as they tried to stay away from human affairs. However there was likely a case where there was an increase in monsters returning to their original domains. But different domains across the world may have been better off than the ones in the US. I’ll leave that up to you to imagine. As it can be very circumstantial.

12. The house will still stand despite whatever nature tries to hit it with. And this will be the final confirmation that this house is spiritually charged.

13. Absolutely, yes. There’s not a doubt in my mind that the trio are in those supernatural forums and people freak the hell out. Asking more questions and getting barely any of them answered. They probably dig it though. “Fleshies? Talking about us with absolute fear? Yes, that’s good. Great even.”😈

14. Uhhh… can I skip this question?? 🙋‍♀️ No, I want to say the population is about 5,859. However with that said, I wanted to say that the town is a bit bigger and would likely have more residents hidden within it. Some people not making their presence known 👀.

15. Yes, which is why Stretch told Stinkie to put a spell on Casper; making the boy stay firmly in Friendship so no other outsiders that are enemies could get to him. Any potential enemies that the trio would’ve had in town have already been taken care of. But who knows, some may be slithering around. Somewhere.

To bonus Q 1: 👀 Who can really say for sure, the possibilities are endless. The home is big enough to hide so many things. Rooms and all!

To bonus Q 2: Mm. The trio have been witness to seeing ghost dinosaurs & other ancient species no human can possibly witness. Is that anything worth mentioning??

Hello, I have a question about casper’s spectral spectacle, I think you mention that other pieces of media exist in your world, are they any different from how they are portrayed, and if they are, how are they different?

Yes, The Addams Family, Beetlejuice and Scary Godmother respectively.

I'd on Scary G's case everything is quite the same. So nothing too extreme on her end has any significant change other than her knowledge of the trio. Unsurprisingly she does see them as a very lively bunch of spirits who all enjoy the moment. They should visit her more…

The Addams family is a very unique family. For whatever reason, this family is woven in luck and magic. And it’s been that way for a long time. Perhaps not in the same sense as the McFaddens are, but strangely close enough to it.

A note I’d like to add here is that there have been many instances where all The Addams should've departed with the land of the living, and yet here they are.

Thriving in life and becoming an oddball to the living as well as the dead. Such a wonderfully bizarre case they are. But no matter.

And from all this, we go to Beetlejuice. Can't say he's too different from the trio. Loves to scare and definitely scam poor souls who just don't have a knack for scaring. (How the scam works beats me- probably makes a deal to occupy the home he helped “preserve” or something)

Kibosh knows about him, but not enough to care about what he does or WHO he haunts. Which is good enough for him because he loves to follow his close friend Lydia. Can honestly say that their relationship is much the same as the animated series.

[mpsansy]

hello, this is a question about casper’s spectral spectacle, I’ve seen you’ve have done art with characters from other IPs, what IPs or shows, movies, or games are set in your AU? (Also, is Ghostbuster still apart of your AU, since it was in the movie?)

Hey there! It’s nice to get a chance to talk about this, so I appreciate the ask :)

Automatically I’d have to say that the IPs in question do look a little different in my version of Casper. Primarily because I love character designing. It’s so much fun! As well as making up fun little side stories that could and likely are brought up by the trio.

But the ones that are attached to the world of Casper’s Spectral Spectacle are:

Beetlejuice & The Addams Family

I’d even say Scary Godmother is in the mix, but not too heavily intertwined with the McFaddens. That said, the interactions between the trio and Scary Godmother is a positive one. They act all nice & polite and TRY to not cause too much trouble for her. But they are brothers who can act like children. So you can imagine it goes as well as you would expect.

And honestly? I’d say a possibly on the Ghostbusters. Though it’d probably be played out as them not wanting to set foot on the McFaddens property. That family is just too much to handle. Also they’ve probably stolen/broken their equipment just to send a message to be LEFT ALONE.

And they just took it as that and booked it.

[mpsansy]

Hello, I have some more questions about casper’s spectral spectacle, here they are (made it better formatted):

1: How do monster societies work? Do they have military’s, do they have elections, or are they something like how medieval societies were?

2: How often do monster mess with human matters in the world, or do they just keep to themselves and don’t care what humans do?

3: Have there been monster - human relationships, and how are the viewed in monster and human societies (if any humans know that they are a monster)

4: are there people or cults in the human world that worship or believe in certain gods or religions that are more prevalent in monster societies? Reversing that, are there people or cults in the monster world that worship or believe in certain gods or religions that are more prevalent in human societies?

5: How do monsters stay hidden when living or visiting the human world?

6: How do witches and warlocks work? Are the humans are more comfortable with monsters, can they both go into the monster and human world’s freely, how do monsters few them?

and finally…

7: Do aliens exist in casper’s spectral spectacle?

LONG POST FOR SPECTRAL SPECTACLE !!!

Question 1). Definitely not up to speed on the political scene as humans are. But things haven't fallen apart yet. So some kind of system is in place that's managed to let the monsters in these domains prosper. Though I will admit that each domain and its citizens have varying degrees of architecture going on.

Think of it as a wonderfully confusing mess of generations melting into one another.

Question 2). Not often do monsters mess with human matters. They usually keep to themselves 90 percent of the time. But circumstances and relationships do make the difference where one may act. But it’s only because they are trying to keep their human partner(s) safe and that’s it. A little selfish, but life will be like that.

Question 3). Plenty of relationships between monsters and humans exist. Though in some instances, the monsters do make a conscious decision to leave their respective domains. Possibly forever. Not because they’re shunned for falling in love with a human, depending on the family.

It’s simply because humans are not meant to know about these domains.

Question 5). The way monster stay hidden in the human realm is by primarily casting spells upon themselves or wear a specialized costumes they’ve either designed or made a deal with obtaining (via bartering). Casting spells is WAY easier, but most don’t have the knack for it.

Question 4). You know, I don’t doubt that as a possibility for humans to worship different deities in the monster realms. How they’d even know would likely have to be taught by them by their parents, grandparents, and likely even great grandparents. You can’t just go in like nothing and start praying.

How I personify this situation is like having a closed practice. Must be respected at all times and is meant to be passed down. Not taken.

This wasn’t always the case, but a certain event propelled this course of action. And has been that way since for not only witches, but every other soul that has access to these domains.

Question 6). Monsters see witches and warlocks as a beneficial asset to keep their vast hidden domains protected. Sure there are a few tricksters in the mix, but they overall know how to follow the simple rules to avoid outsiders (humans) from entering. That much said, for any sorcerer or sorceress that break the rules and expose the domains deliberately to humans? They will meet an immediate end.

Question 7). And uhhhhhhhmmmm, idk. Probably not? I’m not really into that kinda stuff. I’m more into the cultures of the world and its mythologies. Though I suppose with cosmic horror being involved in Spectral Spectacle, there’d have to be some sort of special layer to look at what’s happening beyond the stars…

[mpsansy]

Hello, I have 4 questions about casper’s spectral spectacle, do monsters have their own city’s or towns where they are the majority or the population (like a city filled with vampires), or do they live in the wild or in their own makeshift towns in the middle of the woods or somewhere else? Also, in the past or the present, have different types of monsters (say vampires and werewolves) ever gone to war against each other, or do they generally keep to themselves and maybe help each other when the other is in dire need? The third question is, do the major governments in the world know about monsters, and if they do, do they leave them be or are they actively hunting them down or maybe cooperating with them, and finally, how big is the town of Friendship, I imagine it’s at least the size of a large to medium town. (Bonus question: are their other strange people in Friendship? Like other monsters who just don’t know about the Macfaddens?) (Bonus Bonus question: Are there powerful people (Monster or Human) who have tried to get into the mansion to use the Lazarus Machine or is it completely unknown to anybody outside the mansion?)

*rubs my hands together*

Alright, let’s do this!

Question 1). Monsters around the world have their own special domains in Spectral Spectacle. Think of them as a reflection of ours!

While most like to blend in with society, many others prefer to stay in these pocket realms as a means of protection. Primarily from humans as they are an equally curious, but often dangerous lot.

Additionally, these realms cannot be accessed by humans!

If they attempt to walk through it, the doorway to these domains will act like a bubble. Swiftly bursting and disappearing to the individual(s). I’m sure there are ways of a human getting through, but no one is opening their mouth to tell it.

Question 2). Yes, monsters in the past have gone to war with one another. It’s quite frankly a strange thing that is a never ending cycle for all life.

But as time has gone by, the collective of monsters have been more than willing to help one another in times of crisis. Like I said in the past, the monsters are a reflection of mankind.

Things we’ve come to know have likely happened to monsters. How deep that runs who's to say

Question 3). Most governments around the world (not just the USA) are unaware of their existence. And even if they were, can you imagine the mass hysteria that would occur upon discovering it?

I think with anything, they write it off as their respective countries telling stories. And that's all it is. Just stories.

Question 4).The town of Friendship is pretty big all things considered. Though not big enough to qualify as a city. It’s certainly a place that has some stuff in it worth exploring. Almost in the same category as Gravity Falls, but more ethereal. Dreamlike as Fatso has dubbed it. Hence why they don’t really leave home forever.

Bonus Question!). I don’t doubt for a single second that other monsters are here in the town of Friendship. Probably most are too busy in their own lives to notice the ghosts.

BONUS Bonus question!!). Many MONSTERS from all walks of life have tired, yes! Humans on the other hand? Not so much. They’re more interested in the items in the house than what’s under it.

But to the monsters that do know and go out of their way to seek not only the items in the house, but also the schematics and the machine itself? They can certainly try, but they all meet the same fate as the ones before.

Dying by the renowned terrifying ghostly trio!

Believe it or not, the trio have so many mystical items because of this. Most that Stinkie absolutely loves to collect and pile up. Hardly organizes it unless it’s things like potions. Those are a real mess that do need to be managed.

--

Man,,, think I just about answered all you asked. Hard to say cause I kept going back and forth. LOVE the questions though!!!

[mpsansy]

hello, I have a question, do werewolves or other mythical creatures exist in casper’s spectral spectacle? Or is it that they do exist but are in small numbers (I know that vampires and witches exist, just wondering about the others)

Hello again! I believe I’ve already answered this before, but it doesn’t hurt to repeat it.

So just on the whole global scale, werewolves and many other mythical creatures do exist in Casper’s Spectral Spectacle. They’ve been around for as long as life has existed. Perhaps even longer. All having distinctive traits, instincts, practices, and overall traditions. Just as we humans do.

Each living creature being echos of one another. And to me, I don’t know, it seems pretty enchanting.

Which is a big reason why the whole McFaddens in Spectral Spectacle are attracted such things like culture, people, and music. They have no need to participate if they aren’t permitted to, but if they could just view it. Even for just a moment? It would be nice.

When they’re genuinely interested in something, you can be sure that they’ll shut their mouths and pay close attention.

[mpsansy]

hello, I have a quick question (while I brainstorm other questions), so it (hopefully, probably) won’t take up a lot of your time. It is similar to another question you have answered about other IPs set in the same world as Casper’s Spectral Spectacle.

1: Are there any video game IPs that you can see being in same world as Casper’s Spectral Spectacle? (EX like Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Silent Hill, Amnesia, ObsCure, Fatal Frame, Rule Of Rose, and Scratches?) (maybe F.E.A.R? (That ones is a joke))

I can honestly say that they don’t exist in the world of Casper’s Spectral Spectacle. Though both Silent Hill and Amnesia seem like pretty STRONG possibilities.

HOWEVER!!! I did take elements from Silent Hill to add to Elizabeth’s foggy prison. The entrapment of being town and facing threats, but along with Silent Hill comes another story. Or stories.

The Fog (1980) and The Mist (2007)… More so The Mist, but regardless
